Last night, I posted about celebrating Jake’s (as in Jake and the Never Land Pirates) at the Disney Soda Fountain and El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, California (click here for more information). After enjoying breakfast with Jake, a short Sharky and Bones concert and Jake and the Never Land Pirates episode, we watched the movie Peter Pan as it was intended, in a grand Hollywood theater on the big screen. There’s something about the music that swells as the opening credits begins that gets me every time. As the movie opened the adults and children in the theater were...

February 1, 2013 in disneyland, disneyland resort, fun facts, Randy
In a previous Fun Fact Friday post, I wrote about the entrance to Disneyland, from the turnstiles to the end of Main Street U.S.A. as the opening to a movie. There are more connections between Disneyland and the movies than that, though. Of course, there are the movies represented in the park, from animated classics to exciting new adventures, but did you know there are actual props that were really used in the films shoots in the park? Here are five:1. In the Indiana Jones Adventure exit queue, just after you leave the building, there is a mine car...

My husband and I enjoyed a day in the parks after completing the Never Land 5K. I was one of over 20,000 people who participated in the Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend at the Disneyland Resort this month with my husband, Angelo, and sister, Danielle. The Never Land 5K was the second runDisney event I’ve participated in so far (my first was the Cars Land 5K during the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend last summer, which you can read about here) and although I wouldn’t consider myself a runner or an early riser by any means, some of my most unique Disney Parks memories have...

This past weekend, I participated in my first runDisney (and first ever) half marathon race: The 2013 Tinkerbell Half Marathon. What an amazing experience it was! For a first time half-marathoner, this runDisney race was the perfect introduction to the long-distance running world – and it certainly won’t be my last! I’ll break down what to expect as you prepare for your very own first runDisney half marathon. If you’re like anything like me, the idea of running 13.11 miles may seem a bit daunting if you’ve never been much of a runner. I’ve built up my running...
Top 5 Tips for Planning a Disneyland Resort Trip for a Large Group – Part 1

As a self-proclaimed “Trip Planner Extraordinaire!”, there is nothing I enjoy more than planning and taking trips with large groups of people. While some may feel traveling with a large group may pose an impossible burden in such a huge place as an amusement park, I consider it a truly unique opportunity to share my love and joy for all things Disney with those that I truly care about. I’ve traveled with every combination of people over the years: locals, out-of-towners, older and younger guests, first-timers, seasoned pros, thrill seekers, bench seekers, and everything in between! I see each and every trip as an opportunity to share my knowledge and...
I want to preface this post by saying that I’m just a mom who loves to take cute pictures of her kids – I’m not a professional at. all. I took one photography class in college which I remember precious little from, and have learned most things through lots of trial and error, and help from my “fancy” DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera. I love my iPhone’s camera, it’s so handy and accessible I probably take 80% of pictures with it, you can get some great ones! But I can say if you like that “professional look” then...
