hats off to you

Disneyland is one of the only places where people can wear completely obscure "noggin blockers" and the only thoughts others have are, "I wonder if they got that at the Main Street Emporium or The Mad Hatter....hmmm?".  If only we could freely wear these types of "head flare" in our everyday lives and be as widely accepted as we are inside the world of Disneyland.  I guess we can always dream of a better tomorrow.

the magic continues

Here is a delightful little video Curtis put together from our December '06 visit to "The Happiest Place on Earth".  Make sure your speakers are turned on, the music is the best part. Enjoy!

  

year of the mouse

Last week, as you all know, was the chinese new year.  Disneyland was getting into the action with Mickey and Minnie posing under colorful lanterns in their Asian-inspired costumes and making appearances on Main Street in their "Year of a Million Dreams" costumes.  Here's everyone's favorite mouse celebrating The Lunar New Year.

grape jelly & dancing

So, this morning I woke up and thought to myself, "I'd sure like to eat breakfast at the grape jelly bar."  For those of you who were with me, you know what I'm talking about.   For those of you that weren't, it was an amazing eatery in Downtown Disney that we came to know and love as the "grape jelly bar".  It had the most amazing country potatoes and sausage and waffles with marinated berries.  Mmmmmmm.  This is a little video of Alison dancing down the stairs after a scrumptious breakfast... and then Paul just walking down them.

the big cheese

Well, here it is. The grand puba of character pictures.  The one, the only, Mickey Mouse,  posing with yours truly.  Many children had their hearts broken, and some noses, as we elbowed our way to the front of the line for this photo op.  Looking back, it was absolutely worth it to get our picture with "the big cheese".
