2015 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend – A Look Back

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
It’s time for the 10th Annual Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend!. In this blog I thought I’d take a look back at the very first Disneyland Half Marathon and some of the changes over the years. I remember how excited we were for the Inaugural race weekend nine years ago, on September 15-17, 2006. At the … Continue reading "2015 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend – A Look Back"

Disneyland 60th Event Viewing

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I’ve had several opportunities to experience some of the events of Disneyland’s Diamond Anniversary this summer, so I thought I’d follow up with some additional observations, especially now that I’ve seen the parade and fireworks from different locations. The question I am most frequently asked is: “How long will the celebration last?” Disney so far … Continue reading "Disneyland 60th Event Viewing"

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."

I started with the regional White Onion Soup with caraway and smoked salmon. As I recall the smoked salmon was not overwhelming … Continue reading "Norway Cruise 2015 – The Food, Part 2"

Norway Cruise 2015 – The Food, Part 1

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
It’s not a set of cruise blogs without some information on all of the dining, too! We’ve been on enough Disney cruises that we are familiar with a lot of the menu items – they don’t change that frequently. One thing we really enjoyed about this cruise was that there were some new offerings: each … Continue reading "Norway Cruise 2015 – The Food, Part 1"

Norway Cruise 2015 – Part 7, Bergen

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Thursday – Bergen Lee followed Commodore Tom’s advice and got up at 6:00 to go up on deck, but I stayed in bed for another half hour. After that I put on shoes and a jacket and went out on the verandah. I’m afraid the sail-in to Bergen didn’t appear that special to me. Nothing … Continue reading "Norway Cruise 2015 – Part 7, Bergen"

Norway Cruise 2015 – Part 6, Geiranger

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Wednesday – Geiranger The Commodore had told us to be out on deck by 5:45, so we set the alarm for 5:15. And 5:15 came very early. It was already quite light outside since sunrise was at 4:05. It was overcast and windy but not raining. I put on just about every layer I had: … Continue reading "Norway Cruise 2015 – Part 6, Geiranger"

Tuesday – Alesund We had a fair bit of motion during the night, but not bad. Mostly things were creaky. I slept better but the jet lag caught up with Lee and he was awake for a while…just watching the hours tick by….
