February Day Trip to Disneyland

February 24, 2008 by Laura Gilbreath

Lee and I took advantage of a Friday off work to spend the afternoon/evening at Disneyland. It was a gorgeous day, though chilly by southern Californian standards – only in the upper 50s. You may have heard about the freak winter storm that hit southern California on Thursday, bringing cold air that dropped the snow … Continue reading "February Day Trip to Disneyland"

Blog Follow-ups

February 21, 2008 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"

Disneyland in the News

February 16, 2008 by Laura Gilbreath

There have been a couple of recent news items about Disneyland on non-Disney sites that I have found interesting, so I thought I’d share, in case anyone else is interested.. My husband Lee sent me this link to an article published in the New York Times on February 10… “Will Disney Keep Us Amused?” talks … Continue reading "Disneyland in the News"

Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival

February 6, 2008 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"

Healthier Snack Options

January 29, 2008 by Laura Gilbreath

Last year Disneyland started offering a greater selection of healthier snack options in the parks, and there have been more fruit stands popping up around the parks. Toon Up Treats in Toontown now serves only fruit, drinks, and snacks, and there’s a fairly new fruit/snack stand in Tomorrowland at the base of the Observatron. Traditional … Continue reading "Healthier Snack Options"

Disneyland Resort – This and That

January 26, 2008 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"

Quick Trip to Disneyland

January 21, 2008 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

January 15, 2008 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"

DCA – Fun at the Snow White 70th Anniversary Exhibit

January 3, 2008 by Laura Gilbreath

Back in November (yeah, I know, not a very up-to-date blog entry, is it?) Disney opened a Snow White 70th Anniversary exhibit in the Animation Building at DCA. The exhibit is in the main room of the building – sort of a maze-like set-up of walls with some photos and artwork and copies of cels … Continue reading "DCA – Fun at the Snow White 70th Anniversary Exhibit"

Holiday Treats at Disneyland

December 23, 2007 by Laura Gilbreath

What’s holiday time without some special treats? The bakers and confectioners at Disneyland have certainly done their best to satisfy the sweet tooth in all of us! There’s special cookies at the bakeries, candies at the confectioneries, specialty hot beverages, and most of the restaurants have a special holiday dessert. There’s even special hot foods … Continue reading "Holiday Treats at Disneyland"
