Thanksgiving is on it's way!!!

Hello Disney Freaks! I hope you all had a very fun  Halloween, and now that all that dressing up, ghosts, and vampires have all been done...It's Holiday Time! Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas and New Years are soon to follow! It's time to start anticipating the family unity of Thanksgiving and the bustling stampedes of Black Friday. Here are some Ideas to help you better plan the kickoff of the holiday season:

* If you haven't visited Disneyland yet or perhaps you have a lingering ticket or are fortunate enough to have a Disney pass, November is as good a time as any to visit the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH. Starting on November 12th through January 6, Disneyland will be transformed into a Winter Wonderland, and yes...Disneyland DID just get better. Disney has multiple Christmas festivities during this time such as parades, Disneyland's annual Candlelight Processional, and much more! To learn more visit https://disneyland.disney.go.com/events-tours/holidays-at-the-disneyland-resort/ to find out specific dates, times, etc.

   

* If you or the mother in your household is not the most gifted cook, don't fret! The Disneyland Hotel has a huge Thanksgiving feast with lots of turkey, desserts, and an abundance of Thanksgiving foods. It's a great way to enjoy your Thanksgiving meal with your family and many of your favorite Disney friends!

* Make sure you carefully plan your Christmas couponing and sales ahead of time so you don't get stampeded in the stores (especially on Black Friday, yikes, what a crowd!). The Disney store has multiple clearance items you can get such as mugs, stuffed animals, backpacks, etc. They also have plenty of Frozen merchandise you can purchase such as barbies for the little ones, ore even yourself...don't be ashamed!We've all snuck a little playtime with our old dolls. :D

* Lastly, make sure you see Disney's newest movie Frozen!!! In theater's November 27th! So excited!

If it's anything like Tangled, I am ecstatic to see what Disney's created now!

Well, sadly, that's all for now folks!

God Bless and good night Disney Freaks!

Halloween Tips

Hey guys! It's been October for a while now, so it's about time you start thinking about your Halloween plans. Personally, I do not believe in the "evil" and "dark" aspect of Halloween, but I must say that I truly  do love the candy, dressing up, and jack o lanterns! Anyway, here's some great ideas to help spice up your Halloween with a spark of DISNEY!

1. Buy Disney candy to pass out. Anything with a Disney character on it will most likely earn your favor with the neighborhood kids.

2. If your planning on trick or treating, better go in style. Don't carry around a cliche pumpkin bag , instead, buy a Disney themed bad instead! 
  

3. Carve Disney Pumpkins! You can find stencils at: http://spoonful.com/

4. Dress up as a Disney Character! Weather your trick or treating, or simply watching t.v. and passing out candy, everyone would love to see you as a Disney Character...and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't mind it yourself anyways!

5. Make special themed desserts for Halloween. Recipes are also on spoonful.com, they have everything on that site... it's my fave!

   

6. Eat caramel apples! Bonus points if you can make a Disney parks designed one!
    


7. Don't forget to watch the NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS! It's a vital Halloween classic!
                                

8. Lastly, If you have no plans, Mickey's Halloween party is a great way to spend your Halloween. (More info on this to come;) 

Well that's all for tonight folks!!! And remember...there are two words that help you get through life, it's Called, "HAKUNA...MATATA"!!!

The Disney Brothers Studio

Hey Disney Freaks! Today is yet another day in Disney history. 90 years ago on October 16, 1923 was the official start of the Disney company (AKA The Disney Brothers Studio). On this day, Walt Disney signed a contract with M.J. Winkler to start off this new and amazing company that would, unknowingly, develop into all the Disney wonders the globe knows today (Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Aulani, Disney movies,... a truly endless list). It was here in his new studio that Walt and his brother Roy created cartoon clips called the Alice Comedies. Only three years later was Mickey Mouse created and eventually,  the whole Mickey gang with Minnie, Donald, Goofy,... you name it! Along with all their local success was their newly found global success with the production of Snow White in 1937. If you wish to find out more you can visit the bottom link. It has a bunch of facts about the start of the Disney Studio. Well sadly, that has to be all for tonight folks, but remember to always keep Disney's success in your dreams because one day you may just be as successful as him  After all, "It was all started by a mouse" -Walt Disney.
      -Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. One of Disney's                                                                                                   earliest cartoons.

Fall is in the Air!

Hello Disney Freaks! Fall is underway and pumpkin scents are in the air! This is the start of, in my opinion, the most beautiful season to behold in Southern California! So, in order to start out the Fall season and start a few Halloween traditions...here is a list of ideas and websites you can visit to make Fall even more interesting and, well,...Disney!

1. Here's my favorite site for pumpkin carving stencils. They post Christmas, Easter, and everyday crafts and activities! Even recipes! 
  http://spoonful.com/
2. Always remember to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas!
3. Visit Disneyland's Halloween time at least once!
4. Dress as a Disney Character! Here's a random website i found for woman's Disney costumes:  http://www.costumesupercenter.com/womens+costumes-disney.html
5. Lastly, as a Christian, sometimes Halloween isn't exactly the most pure holiday. So remember to only celebrate the positive aspects of Halloween such as the Candy, costumes, and carving pumpkins. Disney characters can be the most fun character you could ever dress up as. Plus, it helps that its a more wholesome way to dress up for Halloween. But remember to be safe and remember "Adults are only kids grown up, anyway" so don't be afraid to sneak and get some candy!
Sweet Dreams Disney Freaks! TTFN!

Mickey Mouse Club

Hey Disney Freaks!
Guess what today is!? You guessed it! In history, today (58 years ago on October 3rd 1955) was the premier of the Mickey Mouse Club! :) It was an old fashioned black and white television show that was an hour long in the years 1955-1957 and was cut to 30 min. from 1957-1959. This was the start of the mickey mouse ears I know you all secretly wear when no ones looking (shhhh....don't worry i wont tell if you don't:)) and was aired eight months before Disneyland Resort opened...and yes I do date all of history based on the year 1955. Its a big year you have to admit!!! Anyway I wish you Disney Freaks all have a good nights rest and hum a little Disney tune in your heart all night long! Oh yeah, and don't ever grow up! Life can get hard, but being young at heart makes it a heck of allot easier! After all, "Adults are only kids grown up, anyway" -Walt Disney

Disney Beginnings

Since this is my first blog, I thought I'd start with a brief description of the year 1955, the first day/ opening of Disneyland Resort. The history of anything sounds boring to most people, but guess what!? We are DISNEY FREAKS! If your anything like me you are sitting at your computer right now with childish googly eyes in anticipation as if you just saw mickey mouse! So here it goes...Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955 to "invitation only" ticket holders (#6,000 invited...22,000 more showed up on counterfeit tickets). Sadly not everything went right on the first day (Plumbers strike so few water rides open, crowded, extremely hot, etc.) But hey! He got good business right!? The next day, July 18, 1955, Disneyland was opened to the public for a very expensive entrance fee of 1$. Wow, hows that for sarcasm! I want to go back to that time period and just go to Disney all my life! Anyway...back to the facts. This hot and messy day eventually led to DCA, Disney Cruise Line, and so many more international miracles! This just proves never to be discouraged when things don't go your way. You may just end up with a huge business, items on every shelf, an internationally famous name, and hey! A few million dollars wont hurt right? Anyway, feel free to ask me to post anything and stay tuned for more Random Disney talk!
After all "What would the world be like without Disneyland!" or was it captain Hook...oh well! Ta ta for now Disney Freaks!
