Spring and Corn Dogs at Disneyland

Spring has sprung at Disneyland!! Isn't it beautiful?! This was taken a couple of weeks ago. The sky was blue and the pink blossoms on those trees in the hub were just beautiful! There are spring flowers throughout the park.

It is beautiful! The only thing is, is that it is Spring Break season and that makes for more crowds. (Even on a Wednesday morning) But, it is a great time to go and just enjoy being there!

One of the things that Bart and I (and Jamie) like to eat at the parks is a corn dog! I should say, not just any corn dog, it is the best. corn dog. ever!

You can find these at the Little Red Wagon at the end of Main St. right before you get to the Plaza Inn. They are also at Disney's California Adventure, at the Corn Dog Castle, next to Goofy's Sky School.

Here is the sign with the prices.

For $6.19 you get the biggest and best. corn dog. ever. and a small bag of chips or a bag of apples. (If you have a premium pass, you get a discount and it is a great deal!)

Wow! This has made me hungry for a corn dog! Maybe I'll get one when I'm there on Wednesday! :-)

Oh, and here is a picture of how the work on the Matterhorn is coming a long.

It is a little darker with a little more snow!

Walt's Place

About a year ago, we (Bart and I) had the opportunity to tour Walt's private apartment! Thanks to Barb and BJ Ralphs! Barb works at the park and through an auction, she won the opportunity to take some friends and visit the apartment. This was VERY special, because not everyone gets to do this! It was one of those "once in a lifetime opportunities"!

This is where it is, up above the fire station on Main St.

Walt's daybed.

This is the main room, the red sofas on each side. The lamp on the little table by the window was always on when Walt was there.

This is the kitchenette! A sink, mini fridge and a grilled cheese sandwich maker (Walt's favorite!)

 Dishes in the cupboards.



 Secret compartments.

A music player.

The phonograph was a gift from Walt to his wife.

This picture also shows back to the front door from the main room.

This was so exciting and so much fun! I feel grateful and honored that we were able to do this. Wish we could do it again!

Why a Disney Blog

Why a Disney blog? Why NOT a Disney blog??!

I guess because my family spends half their time at Disneyland, that's why!
Disneyland has become our home away from home. It is our stress reliever. Our mini get-away.

My husband, Bart, and I go to the park on Wednesday mornings. It is our date-morning! We love going and getting breakfast or lunch and just sitting and enjoying the atmosphere! Or going on a few rides and shopping.

My 16 year old daughter, Jamie, is proud of her record of being at Disneyland at least once a week for most of the past year. During the summer months, it was 2 or 3 times a week! 

(Jamie will probably also be contributing to this blog!)

My son, Nate and his fiance, Allie go for a cheap date all the time! (It helps being a passholder!) Nate even got down on one knee in front of the castle and popped the question! (she said, "Yes"!)

Also, I grew up in Anaheim...lived in the shadow of the mouse. Spent many birthdays at Disneyland. Watched the fireworks on the roof of our house, or in the dirt lot across Ball Rd. , which is now The Sheraton Hotel! Every time relatives came to visit, we would take them to Disneyland...often times it was me being the tour guide!
We are Premium passholders. (Of course!)
We have been to Disney World so many times I have lost track of the number of times....I think it is 10...or is it 11?....I really can't remember...I'll have to ask Bart (he keeps track of these things!). And, we already have another trip planned and booked for next November! (So, get ready for some Disney World Stories, too!)
I post so much Disney stuff on facebook, that my friends make fun of me! I get comments like, "Do you guys own Disney stock? You should." "Do you guys have a room at Disneyland?" "Are you guys ever home?" "Again?!"

So, that is why! I hope you understand....and I hope I can give some fun stories, valuable information, and tips for you and your next trip to Disneyland or just anything and everything Disney!
