(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Taking a teacup out for a spin
March 28, 2012 in All Posts, disneyland, fantasyland, photography
I love the Mad Tea Party (also known as the “teacups”) for a lot of reasons. I love that it almost always has a really fast line, even when it looks like it will take forever. I love the bright colors of the cups; they just make me happy. Perhaps most of all, I love their iconic status as a Disneyland-must. There’s something so simple and nostalgic about watching the park go by while sitting in a teacup. There’s one thing I don’t care for when it comes to the Mad Tea Party, and that’s the actual spinning part....

Heading to Disneyland for the first time…or the first time in a long time…or the first time with kiddos? It can be a bit overwhelming. Beyond worrying about the basics like what to pack and which rides the family can agree upon, there are a few basics that all first times should know before heading to the Disneyland Resort.
Today and tonight I am notifying all of the new Babes In Disneyland blog contributors. I am thrilled to make the first official contributor announcement. Jennifer Lenzen will be a photography contributor for Wordless Wednesdays. I love her work and I am honored that she will be posting on Babes In Disneyland twice per month. She took this beautiful photo of me with my boys and I adore it! Our children grow up so incredibly fast. I really recommend moms (and dads) consider taking a really nice picture at the Disneyland Resort with their children. I know for our...
