Chasez, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake […]

A very special day in Disneyland history occurred.  On this date in 1961, Disneyland welcomed its 25 millionth visitor.  Disneyland had only been open six years, and they treated this visitor, Dr. Glenn C.

It was on this date in 1943, that Walt Disney released the short Private Pluto.  You might wonder why I am featuring a picture of two chipmunks.  This short was not the first short to feature Pluto, but it was the first to feature Chip and Dale.  My daughter adores Chip and Dale, and I think she would find this […]

I know I rarely post anything about Disney–I just don’t have time.  But I made time here.  Frozen has quickly become one of family favorites.  We saw it twice–the second time was the sing-along one!  My daughter and I can hardly wait for the release.  I had it on pre-release back in December, and I was disappointed when the date […]

Any Disneyland fans out there?  It just so happens that on this day in1986, the Safari Outpost opened in Adventureland in California’s Disneyland.  I think I remember this shop.  Unfortunately, this shop closed in 1995.

On this date in 2005, Disneyland in Hong Kong  began accepting reservations.  You will have to forgive me if I don’t cite my information as well in the next few days.  I am in the process of switching from a laptop to a tablet, and I have an app on my tablet where I am getting a lot  of my […]
