One of the most highly anticipated additions to this holiday season at the Disneyland Resort is the Jingle Cruise. Following in the footsteps of the beloved holiday overlays Haunted Mansion Holiday and “it’s a small world” Holiday, Jingle Cruise is the holiday version of Jungle Cruise. Jungle Cruise is one of the attractions our family rides most at the Disneyland Resort because the kids and I love it and the corny jokes and… well… when it isn’t holiday time, it almost always has a short wait. When I heard that the attraction would be rethemed for the holidays, I was...
A Christmas Fantasy Parade 2013 Review, Video and Photos #disneyholidays
in All Posts, entertainment, holidays
The Christmas Fantasy Parade is the official holiday element that kicks off the holiday season for me. I saw it last week and it already has me in the Christmas state of mind. The parade brings out almost every Disney character you can think of–in their holiday best–as well as its iconic roller skating snowflakes and dancing snowmen (and women) and gingerbread men. If you will be heading to the Disneyland Resort this holiday season, this is a must. No seriously. A MUST! It is an instant hit for young children and because the latest parade time is 5:30,...

Let me start off by saying that I was a big fan of the original Thor movie. Growing up I always enjoyed reading comic books. I still get to enjoy them because my wife pretends to be ok with it when I drag her to the comic book store and I have three boys, so I can just make it look like I am only doing it for them. Thor has always been a major character in the Marvel universe, but I never really got into him. He always came across as a little cheesy to me, unlike Captain...
