My Disney Weekly: A Hankerin' For Honey

Back in January of 2011, I bought Disney annual passes for myself and my sister (it was her Christmas/early graduation gift from me). At the time, I didn't have a blog. So now that I do, I've decided to incorporate my Disney year as an annual pass holder. I'll include it as weekly postings. There'll be two weekly postings: My Disney Weekly and My DCA Weekly (for Disney California Adventure). As you'll see, I'm a HUGE Disney buff! With that being said, here we go!

{Character Highlight: Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore & Tigger too}

A little behind the scenes action here -->

 

{Main Attraction: The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh}

A whimsical journey through the Hundred Acre Woods- inside a giant bee hive nonetheless. Heffalumps & Woozles. All of the lovable Pooh characters. Need I say more? 

I love these "Make your own penny" contraptions!

My favorite store in all of Disneyland...Pooh's Corner.

...and of course....I was pressured into planking in front of the HUNNY pots. I wouldn't have done it anywhere else!

My Disney California Adventure Weekly: Soarin' Flyin' & Jazz

Back in January of 2011, I bought Disney annual passes for myself and my sister (it was her Christmas/early graduation gift from me). At the time, I didn't have a blog. So now that I do, I've decided to incorporate my Disney year as an annual pass holder. I'll include it as weekly postings. There'll be two weekly postings: My Disney Weekly and My DCA Weekly (for Disney California Adventure). As you'll see, I'm a HUGE Disney buff! With that being said, here we go!

{Character Highlight: Donald Duck as a Tourist and Minnie Mouse as a Pilot}

{Love} This ball of feathers in tourist gear!

{Love} My run in with Miss Minnie Earheart :)

{Main Attraction: Soarin' Over California}

I find myself on this ride when I want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the park. It's a very relaxing and calming ride- considering that you're in a simulated hang-glider, with feet dangling free as you're suspended up above. Exhilarating yet tranquil at the same time! 

{Tidbit Fact}

You're suspended up to about 45 feet in the air and all around you is a massive 80 foot domed screen. So cool.

{Main Attraction: Aladdin Musical Show}

Again, this is another attraction where I find myself wanting to go to when I'm tired of walking around the park, especially on a hot and crowded day. It's the perfect place to rest and relax in an air conditioned room and watch the Broadway-style show! 

{Tidbit Fact}

The show is performed in the Hyperion Theater and is a 40-minute musical.

{Side Note}

I am always in awe of the stunning effects and puppeteers! Plus...Genie totally IS the show! Love him and his wise-cracking jokes (that are always up to date with the current times by the way)!

{Disney Dining: Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen}

We celebrated Alee's birthday last year at the Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney District. This was my first time dining here so I was pretty excited. Right off the bat, I walk in and my eyes are drawn upwards...love all the colorful Mardi Gras umbrellas hanging from the ceiling! 

{Love}

The waitress lead us to the table right in front of the band, yay! Just in time, they were ready to play!

{Tidbit Fact}

The music changes all the time so it can go from Dixieland tunes to smooth jazz.

{Love}

Perfect ending to our meal! This chocolate is bomb (hahaha...because it's called the chocolate fudge bomb).

My Disney Weekly: The American West

Back in January of 2011, I bought Disney annual passes for myself and my sister (it was her Christmas/early graduation gift from me). At the time, I didn't have a blog. So now that I do, I've decided to incorporate my Disney year as an annual pass holder. I'll include it as weekly postings. There'll be two weekly postings: My Disney Weekly and My DCA Weekly (for Disney California Adventure). As you'll see, I'm a HUGE Disney buff! With that being said, here we go!

{Character Highlight: Pluto}

{Main Attraction: Big Thunder Ranch}

This charming petting barnyard had a bunch of cute and friendly critters! I had the chance to get up close and actually pet some goats...awesomeness! These goats were SO chill...I have to wonder if they were on something...lol!

{Side Note}
This area could possibly be Alee's (my cousin) favorite area in all of Disneyland! Haha :)

{Love} The goat's little peter pan collar! How adorable is that?

{Main Attraction: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad}

Hands down, one of our most favorite rides at Disneyland! We LOVE getting our thrill on this runaway mine train at night! It's that much more fun! Come on...it is the wildest ride in the wilderness after all! :)


{Tidbit Fact}
This ride is based on Bryce Canyon in Utah. It captures the scenery and beauty of the rugged American West landscape.

{Side Note}
I seriously thought it was designed after the red rocks in Sedona, Arizona. I guess not...womp womp :P

{Love} Took this shot of the tree that's right in the middle of the Big Thunder line.
