Returning to Disneyland after Over a Year Away

June 1, 2021, 3 Comments

Disneyland is known for open being every day of the year, and has only had unplanned closures as a result of tragedy or safety, with the closures only lasting one day, but last year all of that changed, when COVID shut down Disneyland for over 365 days. On April 30 Disneyland reopened, but Patrick and…

Once Upon a Wintertime

Last weekend Patrick and I celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary. We didn’t do anything too fancy, since things have been hectic lately, and opted just to do dinner at Cafe Orleans at Disneyland. They currently offer hot chocolate beignets and they are absolutely delicious. Since we had a winter wedding, I wanted to wear a…

Fall Dapper Day with Friends

Fall Dapper Day came right on the heels of Halloween this year, but for the most part we played it pretty chill, spending most of the day roaming, taking photos and eating food. Like previous unofficial theme days at Disneyland, you’re not only getting pictures of me, but also photos of some of my stylish…

A Psychedelic Spring Dapper Day

Things have been going pretty non-stop lately, and there was no slowing down this last weekend as it was Dapper Day! Long time readers of the blog and perhaps some new ones, will be familiar with the twice annual event here at Disneyland that encourages Guests to visit the parks in their Sunday best. Plus…

Vintage Disneyland Postcards: Frontierland

September 13, 2018, 3 Comments

Today we continue our vintage tour through Disneyland by way of postcards, and we enter the dusty old west of Frontierland. Frontierland has seen a fair amount of change over the years. When Disneyland opened Frontierland was actually the largest land, as it included the Rivers of America and a vast, winding railroad and pathways…

120 Film at Disneyland

August 31, 2014, 9 Comments

Taking our Kodak Dual Flex II (one of many vintage cameras we own) and shooting 120 film has become a tradition of ours when visiting Disneyland. However I’m not sure how often this tradition will continue, as we will be visiting Disneyland more often and 120 film isn’t exactly cheap, but it sure is a…

Disneyland on Film

October 5, 2013, 6 Comments

Hello it’s Patrick here to do another post with some new 120 photographs from our last trip to Disneyland. Unlike last time, where Janey was just too depressed to write about it, I’m here to explain some of the more technical side to shooting 120 film. When I first met Janey she was astounded that…

One-Twenty at Disneyland

February 28, 2012, 19 Comments

During our visit to Disneyland, we didn’t just take pictures with our phones and digital cameras, but with our vintage Kodak DualFlex II, which dates to 1950-1954, using 120 film. The camera attracted much attention, people said they loved it, asked if it worked, and said it was cooler than the Holgas so many hipsters…

The Disneyland Skirt Makes Its Debut

February 24, 2012, 26 Comments

Friday was our first day of three that we spent in the Disneyland Park and my special Disneyland Skirt made its debut and boy was it a coming out party it was. I had guests and cast members alike comment on it, and countless people (some asked, others didn’t) took my picture. A few questions…

Disneyland, Here I Come!

February 2, 2012, 12 Comments

In just about a week, Patrick and I will be winging our way to sunny southern California to spend some time with my family, as well as a few days at Disneyland. As previously blogged twice before (see the progression here and here) I decided to make a Disneyland themed circle skirt for the trip.…
