In addition to Chef Jamie Gwen, who will be there every … Continue reading "DCA Food and Wine Festival Update"

The Pixar Play Parade

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
The new Pixar Play Parade officially opened at DCA on Friday evening (there were several preview performances). I was on-hand for the first official parade, which started at 5:15. I claimed a spot on the edge of the parade route at Sunshine Plaza (where it starts) about 4:00 – turns out I didn’t really have … Continue reading "The Pixar Play Parade"

Disneyland with Lisa

I had a new experience last Friday – I got to tour Disneyland with a fellow All Ears staff member – All Ears Picture This! blogger Lisa Berton. We hit both parks, all three resorts and Downtown Disney. It was a beautiful southern California day – they don’t get much better. Lisa was taking lots … Continue reading "Disneyland with Lisa"

Blog Follow-ups

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I thought I’d post some follow-ups to a couple of previous blog entries. Last week I wrote about the new House of the Future, coming to Disneyland in May. (That blog entry can be found HERE.) One thing the article didn’t mention is that it was going in on the ground floor of Innoventions. We … Continue reading "Blog Follow-ups"

Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Jim Ames, the producer of Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival, about this year’s upcoming Festival. This is the Festival’s third year, and it keeps getting a little bigger (and I think a little better) every year. The major change this year is that the Festival will … Continue reading "Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival"

Disneyland Resort – This and That

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Disneyland has renamed “Early Entry” to “Magic Morning”, and changed the days – it’s now Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It’s still available to DL Resort guests every day it’s offered during their stay, otherwise it is offered one day of most 3- 4- or 5-day park hoppers. There’s more detailed information on the AllEars.net … Continue reading "Disneyland Resort – This and That"

Pacific Electric Railway & Disney

Posted on by Jack Spence
Years before Los Angeles was famous for its freeways, it boasted the largest mass transit system in the world, the Pacific Electric Railway. Locals affectionately called the trolleys either the P.E. or the Big Red Car. The system spanned southern California with over 1,100 miles of track that ran between Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and … Continue reading "Pacific Electric Railway & Disney"

Quick Trip to Disneyland

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I made a quick commando-type trip to Disneyland/DCA on Friday – my objective was to take photos of as many menus as I could since I haven’t updated them for AllEars in a while. (And if anyone out there is interested in helping with that in the future, please let me know!) I’m used to … Continue reading "Quick Trip to Disneyland"

The Toy Story Zoetrope

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
“The Toy Story *what?*” is what I’m sure you’re all asking! At least, that’s that *I* said when I saw the sign outside the Animation Gallery inside DCA’s Animation Building. According to a Pixar press release, the zoetrope is a “kinetic installation… an early cinema device that created the optical illusion of static images in … Continue reading "The Toy Story Zoetrope"
