Christmas Candy Canes

Every year at Christmas Disneyland makes home made candy canes for guest to purchase. I've heard they are amazing but alas I have never had one. In fact I have never seen one. They are really hard to get. The candy canes are only made on certain days and they limit how many you can buy. I have even read that you have to get a voucher when you enter the park.

The Disney Food Blog has a great article about these special candy canes and provides us with a few tips on how you can get one. Head on over and check it out.

Oh, I hope I can get one this year!

Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse

Original Oranges

I've heard that there is still one of the original orange trees from the Anaheim Orange groves located at the Disneyland Hotels. Disneyland was built on 160 acres of orange groves that Walt bought in 1953. I have never seen it but have read that its still there and that cast members can point it out to you if you ask. I would love to know if any of you have seen it. I will have to find it on my next stay at Disneyland.

Yummy!

It's Blog hop Thursday and the topic for today is FOOD! YUM, that is a great topic! We love food in our house. We love food at Disneyland too! One of our favorite places is the:

Carnation Cafe

Lunch & Dinner
Main Street USA
Disneyland

My son loves to order the PB&J off the kids menu so he can make his own! It makes eating lunch a little more enjoyable. He forgets about asking if we can skip lunch to go back to the rides.

Don't forget to head on over to these two wonderful Disney blogs. They are co-hosting the hop today. Thanks Ladies, you are wonderful. I always learn something new when I read your blogs.

Celebrations

Hey there blog hoppers, it's Thursday Yay!!!

Today's Blog hop theme is Celebrations.

Thanks Babes in Disneyland for hosting every week! 

On our most recent visit to Disneyland we celebrated my sons 5th birthday (I can't believe he is 5 already) We headed straight to Town Hall to get his birthday button. He wasn't to happy with me either! He wanted to go on the rides, in fact I was lucky to get this picture.

We spent the next few hours in the park having a magical time and around three we headed back to our room for a quick rest and to meet up with family. We left his birthday button on the night stand next to the bed and headed back to Disneyland to have some more fun. To our surprise when we came back for a good nights rest there was something special waiting for him. 

These are the details that make our trips to Disneyland so magical.

Pinterest Party

Hello all my Disney Pals. Have you heard of the website Pinterest? Oh, I love Pinterest! It is a site filled with just about everything! If you want to check it out click here this will take you to my boards so you can see all of the fun ideas I have found. 

Well one of my favorite blogs Over The Big Moon has decided to host a linky party on the 4th and final Friday of each month for their readers to share projects they have found and made from Pinterest.  I thought this was a great idea and figured I would share the Disney projects I have made. My first project was this cute count down chalkboard I found.  The original pin on Pinterest was from Tip Junkie

Here is the Mickey chalkboard that I made.

I used a scrap piece of MDF my dad had in his garage and traced a small plate for the face and then a small bowl for the ears. After we cut it out I applied a flat black paint for a base coat and then two coats of chalkboard paint I picked up at Walmart.

Now I just need to plan my next trip to Disneyland! I can't wait to use our countdown chalkboard!
