Why Disneyland’s PhotoPass+ could be valuable addition to your vacation

Posted on by AllEars
For many, if not most, vacationers, photos are among the most cherished souvenirs from their travels. That certainly is true of guests on Disney vacations, myself included. And now that we are going to Disneyland for the first time, I have been planning for these photos - choosing outfits and iconic locations and making character-dining reservations. The first decision I made was whether we wanted to purchase PhotoPass+, a product that allows you to buy all the professional photos you have taken in the parks for one price.

Tips for packing for a Disneyland vacation

Posted on by AllEars
I feel like a novice Disney traveler now that I'm preparing to pack for our first trip to Disneyland and D23 in August. I have to figure out what we will need in an unfamiliar hotel room and theme parks for an extended stay. And it's a lot of stuff for four people! I have never been to Anaheim, but from what I can tell, the weather this time of the year is just slightly cooler than Orlando during the day.

Happy 60th Birthday, Disneyland!

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
The Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration is the inspiration for a two-hour television event, "The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60," on February 21 on the ABC Television Network. Hosted by Dancing with the Stars' Derek Hough, the broadcast will originate from Hollywood and at some of the most iconic locations throughout the Disneyland Resort, including Sleeping Beauty Castle, Main Street, U.S.A., and Cars Land. Among the special appearances during the show will be Sir Elton John, who will perform in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland park, singing the Oscar-nominated song "Circle of Life," from Disney's "The Lion King," and his new song "Wonderful Crazy Night."

Disneyland Resort Celebrates 60th Anniversary;Announces Million Dollar Philanthropic Program Benefitting Local Nonprofits During Diamond Celebration

Posted on by Debra Martin Koma
Disneyland marked its 60th anniversary officially on July 17, 2015! Sixty years ago, Walt Disney dedicated his dream project: Disneyland - a land beyond the boundaries of the motion pictures with which he'd made his reputation, a park where families and guests of all ages could be immersed in worlds of fantasy and adventure. As part of its Diamond Celebration, the Disneyland Resort honored 60 years of that dream by announcing "Million Dollar Dazzle" at a ceremony at Sleeping Beauty Castle. Each month during the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration, the Million Dollar Dazzle Crew will surprise one or more local nonprofits that exemplify Walt Disney Parks and Resorts' Better Together philosophy with a $60,000 gift, totaling more than $1 million. Girl Scouts of Orange County was surprised with the first gift. The funds will support the organization's Comadres outreach program that helps the Girl Scout experience transcend language and cultural barriers for girls in low-income neighborhoods.
