Frozen Takes Over DCA!

As you probably have heard by now, the nightly event "Mad T Party" has been replaced by Frozen. I'm a huge fan of Mad T Party. I think it's fun, entertaining, and a great theme for both adults and kids. When I first heard about Frozen replacing Mad T Party, I was pretty disappointed. I didn't feel like Frozen is as versatile of a theme as Mad T. To me, Frozen was target more towards the younger audience.
Now this doesn't mean that I totally despise the new "Frozen Fun" at DCA, my friends and I decided to check it out for ourselves

I'm Back!

Wow, long time no update! I've been so busy with work and more work that I've put this Disney blog on the back burner. But no worries, I'm back and with tons of pictures!

The last time I hit up Disneyland was for my boyfriend's birthday.

We went button crazy and received tons of different ones from Cast Members. I love how cast members at Disney really go out of their way to make you feel special on your birthday (or whatever you may be celebrating), and that's part of the reason why we are annual passholders.

We did find one cool pin: the Unicorn Parking pin! 

And finally, after months of it being sold out and on back order... I finally found my STITCH PILLOW PAL!!!!

Sorry that this is a very short blog, but check back soon because we're heading out to Disney next for the 20th Anniversary of Fantasmic event! I promise to take lots of pictures and hopefully, new pins to show you.

Thanks for reading!

Another Year of Disney!

Since the summer and my job as a stilt walker at Magic Mountain comes to an end, it was time to renew my Disney annual pass and revisit the happiest place on Earth. 
First thing we did (even before we turned our one day ticket into an annual pass), was to run to the new Star Tours. Since there are different ride combinations, we got a fast pass and then hopped in line. It was nice that we got to have 2 very different ride experience. I have to admit, I totally geeked out both times. Here are some photos:

First ride of the day!

Woohoo!

Gunk Droid fast pass =P

The next ride on our list was The Little Mermaid at DCA. I was thinking it would be a 30 minute wait, but it was only 5 minutes! I loved the Little Mermaid ride, it made me feel like a part of the movie, and love the transition of going in and out of the ocean. Check out my on-ride video:

After hitting the 2 rides I've been waiting for all summer long, we took our time walking around, doing a little pin trading, and seeing all the changes they've made to the parks through out the summer. I especially love seeing the progress they've made on Cars Land. We even got to see "Laserman: R3CONF1GUR3D". Have you seen both versions of Laserman? If so, which one did you like better? I think I liked the original version more, but there are some cool visual effects in the new one as well.  http://youtu.be/Ug8-pynRiTA

And my blog wouldn't be complete with even more pictures! Here's more photos on Disneyland/DCA updates and more!

Cars Land is taking shape!

Same ride, different look.

I almost got both of them!

Light pin trading this time ;)

That's all for this one. Thanks for reading and check back soon for more!

Off To See Mickey!

Since I have the whole day off tomorrow, my boyfriend and I decided to hit up Disneyland! Hooray for a day at the park(s), rides, and of course, pin trading galore! One of the best things about an annual passholder is going to Disney on a whim, and the free parking isn't bad either ;-)
I think tomorrow we're going to try the Davy Crockett's Canoes since we've never done it before. Hope we don't get wet on the canoe, ha ha!
I am so excited about tomorrow, I feel like a little kid =) And I can't wait to share all the pins I'll get tomorrow. I'm hoping to find:

These are probably so hard to find, but they're so pretty.
