Halloween Carnival- Conjure A Villain!

A couple weekends ago I was able to check out the Halloween Carnival at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree!  I took a lot of photos there and will split it into a couple posts! 

I always like the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree because it's usually pretty quiet back there and is a great spot to meet characters without as much of a line.  For Halloween it was transformed into a Halloween Carnival!

HAPPY 30TH EPCOT!

Today is EPCOT's 30th birthday!

I love EPCOT and really wish I could have gone there this week to celebrate!  Since we couldn't be there, my husband and I decided to celebrate at home by trying to make one of our favorite drinks we get there while we are visiting.

Over in the France pavilion they have a stand where you can get a Grand Marnier Orange Slush or Grey Goose Citron Lemonade Slush.  They are delicious and perfect for a hot day!  Today we attempted to recreate the Grand Marnier one using a Jamba Juice "Orange Dream Machine" fruit smoothie mix, ice, and Grand Marnier.  It wasn't quite exact but it was closer than a previous attempt to make the Grey Goose slush.  We had a good time drinking them while going through our photos from visits to EPCOT.

Happy birthday EPCOT!  Thanks for all the happy memories!

One More Disney Day

 

At the end of February my husband and I were able to check out the special 24-hour Leap Day event, "One More Disney Day," at Disneyland that they had this year.  We both had work that day so we decided we'd check out the very late hours.  That's what we were most excited about anyway because the park isn't usually open past midnight and we thought maybe it'd be less crowded because it was so late.  (We were sooo wrong about that!)

Character Shirts!

This past weekend I spent some time at Disneyland and I spotted these shirts at Disney Clothiers on Main Street!  I thought they were really cute and had to share! 

Snow White!

Last Night of ElecTronica!

Hi Everyone!  This past weekend marked ElecTronica's last nights at California Adventure.  My husband and I are big fans and have had many great times there with family and friends.  We liked it so much we even had a touch of it at our wedding and celebrated there on our mini-moon!  We went both last Saturday and Sunday to get our final hours on the Grid.  My husband took some awesome photos and video and he even wrote up this post!

The Portal Shuts Down...
Long lines and huge crowds mark end of DCA night-time party.On Sunday, April 15th, the ElecTronica portal closed for the last time after a lengthy stay at Disney California Adventure park. The night-time dance party will eventually be replaced by the new "Mad T Party," a similar Alice in Wonderland themed dance party on June 15th.

The last night of ElecTronica featured a performance by Laser Man and two DJs. The final evening also featured long lines for Glowjitos and Digitinis at the End of the Line Club and the bar by the Animation Building.

My House Goes Disney on HGTV

Tonight is the premiere of "My House Goes Disney" on HGTV!
In this show a VERY lucky family gets their home transformed into a Disney wonderland with the help of HGTV's Designers and Disney Imagineers!  As someone who's own home is a bit Disney themed, I'm pretty excited to see everything they come up with!

I checked out the HGTV website and they already have photos of the kids' room!  Wow!

Dapper Day 2012

Yesterday I checked out Dapper Day at Disneyland!   It was so much fun to see everyone dressed up in their finest!  Dapper Day isn't organized by Disney but I was happy to find that that the Cast Members seem to know all about it!  When I went through the bag check I was told I looked very "dapper!"  Plus the Dapper Dans seemed to be out and about Main Street a lot more than usual! When I walked in they were taking photos with people who were there for Dapper Day!  I was excited to get one too!
