Disney Flashback Friday is simple... share a Disney flashback of yours from a month ago or twenty years ago, and then link up here each Friday and see other Disney fans with their flashbacks as well. 
My only rule is it must be Disney related.

Memorable Character Experiences at Disneyland

Friday, July 22, 2011

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. 

Thank you for joining me today.  Your next stop on the Magical Blogorail Loop is Adventures  of a Disney Princess .




Here is the map of our Magical Blogorail Loop should you happen to have to make a stop along the way and want to reboard:



Disney Flashback Friday - Sleeping Beauty Castle During Mickey's Halloween Party

Welcome to the first Disney Flashback Friday. 
This week I want to flashback to last October. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for fall. I'm ready to bake and eat pumpkin goodies, to see pumpkins lining porch stairs, to see cute and scary Halloween decorations laid out on lawns, to see the leaves change colors, and to celebrate Halloween at Disneyland with Mickey's Halloween Party. 
During Mickey's Halloween Party, Sleeping Beauty Castle is lit up with lots of eerie colors and projections. 



It's fun to watch over and over again. Oh yes, I can't wait for the fall! 
Tickets are on sale now for Mickey's Halloween Party. 
Do you plan to go this year?

Want to join in? It's easy! The only rules are that it must be a Disney flashback. Your flashback can be from 20 years ago or 1 month ago. It's your flashback so have fun with it.



Please grab the flashback button (copy and paste the code above) to help spread the word, and leave a direct link below to your flashback post. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to say hello to some of the other Disney Flashbacks.

Disney Flashback Friday Starting This Friday

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

This Friday I will be hosting a Disney Flashback Friday.
I've done a few post where I've either flashback to a certain event that happened at Disneyland or posted a photo of me as a child at the park. I have tons of photos dating back to me at age 3 at Disneyland, so it only seemed right to start hosting a Disney Flashback each Friday. 
I'm inviting you to join in with me. 
The rules are simple...
 Post a photo(s) with a short story related to Disney, then come back here each Friday and link up. 
The Disney Flashback Friday button is available to the right for you to use on your post to help spread the word. It would also be nice to visit a few of the other flashbacks. 
Please help spread the word of this new link up and share this post with your followers. The bigger the party... the more fun we will have flashing back! 
See you Friday!

A Look at the New Disney California Adventure Entrance

Monday, July 18, 2011

For weeks we've been walking around boarded up walls to enter Disney California Adventure, but those days are gone. Friday guest were greeted with a brand new entrance to go through. 




 I love the blue tones they chose to paint it. I think it looks really nice and is a huge improvement. 
 Here is the old entrance without the turnstiles. 
And back out the exit. 
Well done Disney, well done.
