Most Missed Attraction at Disneyland

Welcome to those of you joining me from Your Highway in the Sky and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 2nd stop on our Magical Blogorail.

Today we are talking about attractions we most miss. This was an easy one for me as I think about it every time I go into Tomorrowland... The PeopleMover. 

Although I do miss the Skyway, the PeopleMover is the one attraction I want back at Disneyland more then anything else.

Each time I enter Tomorrowland I am reminded of the PeopleMover with it's track above the pathways of the land. 

 It was the one attraction that not only could you relax for 15 minutes, but also go all through Tomorrowland while passing Star Traders, Space Mountain, and cruising above the Autopia cars. 

Entering the Grid

When it was open, there was a portion that had you going through the grid of the original Tron. 

At night it was magical to go through and see the glow of the park around. 

The Rocket Rods replaced the PeopleMover in 1998, three years after the PeopleMover closed, with the Rocket Rods only lasting two years. For the last 11 years those tracks have sat unused. 

Thanks to Dennis Brown from www.dennisbrown360.com for giving me permission to use three photos of the PeopleMover in WDW. 

When I make it back to WDW, the PeopleMover will be one of the first rides I go on.

Memorable Character Experiences at Disneyland

Welcome to the first stop aboard Magical Blogorail Green.  Enjoy the ride as we share with you our memorable character experiences in the park.

When it comes to character experiences at Disneyland we've had many. I had a couple that I thought I would share, and then when I started going through my photos of my son with Snow White, I knew that these were the photos to share.

 One day at Disneyland, we were headed to Fantasyland. We like to take the side path around Sleeping Beauty Castle to enter Fantasyland. On this particular day we spotted Snow White standing all by herself looking at the wishing well in a dreamily matter. My son instantly bolted out of his stroller and made a mad dash for her. 

 He was so excited and instantly started telling her all kinds of stories in an excited toddler voice. He showed her the fountain and pointed out the "fishies", and she listened and talked to him about them too. 

 He just couldn't contain his excitement.

After a couple more minutes with no one still around, he sat on her lap for a picture and we were on our way.

What a rare moment to have Snow White all to ourselves. The excitement my son had will always warm my heart, and I am so glad I was able to capture it all on film.

Favorite Disney Activity Outside of a Theme Park

Welcome to those of you joining me from Your Highway in the Sky, and those of you who have just hopped aboard.  I am the 4th stop on our Magical Blogorail.

This month we are talking about Disney activities outside of a theme park.

I would say I am a little spoiled in that I live just miles away from Disneyland. Whenever I get the urge to go, it's just a short drive down the freeway for me, so whenever I want some Disney fun in my day that's where I head. 

I was trying to think of a Disney activity I do that isn't related to the park, and then it hit me... baking. 

I love baking cupcakes. I have the biggest cupcake liner collection you may ever see. No seriously I have thousands  of them.  

Last June when Toy Story 3 came out I made Green Alien cupcakes. I thought today I would share that post again. 

You can read how to make your own here: Toy Story Green Alien Cupcakes

Another thing I thought I would share is this site 1+1+1=1. There I found learning tools to teach my Little One colors, shapes, and numbers using Disney characters. 

My son is a little Cars obsessed, so when I saw they had Cars tot tools, I made little flashcards with them using a laminator. 

The site shows how to make lap books with the tools using a folder, but I knew something like that my son would rip up. 

What I like about laminating them is how durable they are. I can throw them in my purse, and pull them out when we are at Disneyland. My son stays interested in them because they are his favorite characters. You can also punch a hole in each laminated card, and hold them all together with a metal ring.

If you are interested in making any of these flash cards or lap books for your Little One's, here is a list of the Disney characters to chose from:

Cars

Nemo

Handy Manny

Cinderella

and Tarzan

You can click here to see other non Disney related themes too like Thomas the Train. 

So even when we're not at Disneyland...Disney is still with us and apart of our lives.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you find the cupcakes or tot cards useful for you in the future.
