Pixels From The Park

Without a doubt, Disneyland’s Christmas Fantasy Parade is a must see to put a smile on your face and the holiday magic into your heart…and while there’s nothing like seeing it in person, here’s the next best thing to keep your Christmas Season merry and bright.

Walking around Main Street one sunny October afternoon, I came across these guys just wailing away. They’re called “The Hook and Ladder Company” and they are a lot of fun. Keep an eye out for the clarinet player tho…I swear it’s Ed Helms from “The Office and “The Hangover” moonlighting at the Happiest Place on […]

In the tradition of the Halloween season, I figured it was only fitting to post a new Disneyland Halloween video, especially since I won’t be able to visit the park myself this year.  Now this should put you in the Halloween spirit

Since 2004, I don’t think I’ve taken a trip to Disneyland without some sort of camera in my hands. And there’s been a couple of times when I’ve carried two…plus a video camera. I guess you could say I’m a little obsessed. But you never know when you might come across the perfect shot at […]

Down at the very end of Critter Country, behind Splash Mountain, is a quiet, comfortable, relaxing little hideaway that I like to visit. There’s not much there…The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh Ride, the photo op area where you can take pictures with Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore, the Winnie the Pooh gift shop that […]

Back in 1993, on January 24th, Disneyland opened its newest land…Mickey’s Toontown! Inspired by the movie, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?“, Toontown allowed us humans to finally take a trip into the never before seen land of cartoons and see how our favorite animated stars lived. Although there aren’t a lot of rides there, (really only […]

Disneyland at Christmastime is nothing but a fun filled wonderland overflowing with magic at every turn. One of the most magical moments I’ve experienced is the nightly lighting of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle as it comes alive with Holiday Enchantment and Beauty. Even at only a few minutes in length, it’s still enough to give you […]

In as many times as I’ve been to Disneyland, I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen them light the Christmas tree that stands in the middle of town square on Main Street. This year, while waiting for the “Christmas Fantasy Parade” to start, I managed to secure a spot on the platform of the train […]

One of my favorite things to do during a day in Disneyland is to go to the Golden Horseshoe in Frontierland and watch Billy Hill and the Hillbillies perform. The Horseshoe is a great place to go and sit a while, relax and unwind for a bit, and maybe have a refreshing root beer float, […]

Such a great sight to see down at the end of Main Street.

I can still remember a time, back in the olden days, when this was the first sight you’d see from I-5 that would let you know that you were finally at the Big D. Nowadays you gotta wait till you’re in the park to see it, but it’s still a beautiful sight.

Ah, that smiling face that greets you as you enter the park. Is there anything more magical and smile inducing?   I can’t think of a more perfect way to start my morning

So let me try and explain to you why I’m so into Disney, and Disneyland in particular. Because people ask me all the time and I have to sort of redeem myself as to why a forty-something year old man wears so many Mickey Mouse shirts and takes so many trips to Disneyland. These are […]
