Ask the Disney Experts: Favorite Unique Drink at the Disneyland Resort
June 10, 2014 in All Posts, Ask the Disney Expert, Jessica, Tips & Tricks for Families
This week, (since it’s getting nice and warm outside lately) we were asked what our favorite special drink is in the Disneyland Resort… On each visit to Disneyland Park, I have to have a sip of the signature drink of New Orleans Square—the Mint Julep! This has been an iconic Disneyland favorite for me ever since my earliest visits with my family in the 1980s. It’s refreshing, not too minty, and festively garnished with maraschino cherries, fresh mint and a speared lemon. In addition to enjoying this cool treat at Blue Bayou Restaurant, it can also be found at...

It’s hot, hot, HOT at the Disneyland Resort and temperatures look like they’ll be high for at least the next week. If you are looking for a place for your toddler or preschooler to cool off and have fun, pack a change of clothes and head over to Princess Dot Puddle Park at Disney California Adventure Park. The best part is that directly across from the puddle park is a family restroom where you can change your children into their dry clothing afterward. Also, be sure to make note that children must wear shoes, so consider bringing sandals or...

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a long-time guest favorite at Disneyland Park. When it closed in January of 2013 for its major overhaul and update, guests speculated if the ride would experience any major changes and I’m happy to report that as of its opening in March of this year, guests have been pleased with the seemless addition of several new effects and the new, smoother track. I recently had the opportunity to experience the attraction with one of the imagineers behind this major upgrade. Climb aboard the wildest ride in the wilderness with us in this video: Fun...
(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Be inspired by adversity
May 28, 2014 in All Posts, disneyland, photography
It’s been a long time since we’ve done a Wordless Wednesday post, which seems kind of silly because it’s the easiest post to do! When Babes In Disneyland writer Vy shared this photo, I knew we had to feature it on the blog. When I found this quote by Mulan, I knew the two went hand in hand. I thought this was particularly meaningful given last week I was down in the dumps by the unkind words people had about my recent post on the price hikes at the Disneyland Resort and all of my readers really came to...

Yesterday’s 24-hour Rock Your Disney Side party kicked off Summer at the Disneyland Resort in what was one of the most awesome days I’ve experienced to date. Guests, many of whom were dressed as their favorite Disney heroes and villains, began lining up as early as 12:00 a.m. on Friday morning to be among the first to get the party started. I arrived a bit later (4:00 a.m.) to find the party was already in full swing. The Disneyland Resort Esplanade (the center area between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure) had a festival like atmosphere where DJs set kept...
