Disneyland Obsession

Your Invited To Attend A Tea Party!

A Mad T Party That Is!

Disney has plans for you this summer, and you better be ready to Party. Over in Disney California Adventure Park, plans are in place to bring an end to  the night time extravaganza, ElecTRONica, and introduce the new night time show, inspired by Tim Burton’s creation,  MAD T PARTY.

Guest will experience live music,  a DJ, games, special foods, and  more,. All of this to take place at the Hollywood Pictures Backlot in Disney California Adventure Park. The Mad T Party dance party will take place nightly, beginning this summer. No need to R.S.V.P.

 

 

 

The talk is everywhere, Disneyland and Walt Disney World are going to take full advantage of the fact that the year 2012 is a leap year, and as a result contains One More Day than most years. Its February 29, 2012, and Disney is turning that day into a 24 hour party, by celebrating the extra day.

Any guest that is brave enough, and strong enough,  will be able to spend the entire day in the Parks. My guess is that around 3:00 A.M. there will be no lines for rides. The longest lines may be at the Coffee Shops.

If your interested in attending, that’s a Wednesday and it will run from 6:00A.M. February 29, 2012 to 6:00 A.M. March 1, 2012.

Just got home from my other job, and wanted to take a moment to thank all of the friends here at Disneyland Obsession, and wish everyone a Happy and prosperous New Year.

2011 was a pretty good year for us and I am expecting great things in 2012. Sometimes we forget to just take a minute to catch our breath, and think about all of the special people in our life, and say thanks. This is that minute for me, and you the readers and friends I’ve made are those special people, so here goes

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

I’m sure your wondering what that statement is all about. Disneyland Lasagna And 2 Paul’s is all about Paul Hale from the DisGeek Podcast,

and Paul Barrie from the Window To The Magic Podcast

sharing with their podcast listeners  a recommendation about what Paul Hale says is the very best Lasagna in the world. It was a comment quickly made by the one DisGeek to his brother Daniel, the other DisGeek, to be sure and stop by the Wine Country Trattoria over at the Disney California Adventure Park, and try what he thinks is without a doubt the worlds best Lasagne . WTTM Paul had to chime in that he knows a good Lasagna, so he would stop by and give it a try.

After listening to these two go back and forth, I Tweeted WTTM Paul, to ask what he thought about the Lasagne. His response was I would have to listen to the next episode of the DisGeek Podcast for the answer. That’s exactly what I did, and it’s clear to me now that the worlds best Lasagna is served at the Wine Country Trattoria. So I know this sounds crazy, but I love Lasagne, so watch for me on my next visit to the Parks. You’ll find me over at DCA eating Lasagna.   After all it’s the best in the world according to the 2 Paul’s.

Thanks guys.

P.S. It was at WTTM Paul’s recommendation that I check out the DisGeek Podcast.

I’m glad I did, these guys are great fun for a Disneyland nut like me, to listen to.

This Christmas I was lucky enough to receive what may be the ultimate Disney gift,  my wife presented me with a D 23 membership. Now some people including my Twitter friend @RomzCA are saying what’s a gift of a D23 membership. So here is the answer.

D 23 is the Official Disney Fan Club. Made up of people from all walks of life and from all over the world. With just one thing in common a great love for all things Disney.

D 23 members receive a quarterly publication that is filled with great Disney story told by some of the Disney legends about there time working with Walt. Many photographs and documents pulled from the Disney Archives. Stories told in a way that only the folks from Disney could do. Along with that D23 members have access to Special D23 Expo and D23 members only events.

 

 

 

 

Along with the Magazine and membership card,

came a members only exclusive D23 gift watch,

a set of 5 post cards reproduced from post cards held in the Disney archives, the oldest from the 1930s. Each keep sake post card is a beautifully recreated and suitable to frame.

The entire package was a great surprise, one that I am sure I will enjoy for the whole year. And next year my wife can simply renew my membership, for another easy Christmas present. So if you have someone that your looking for that perfect Disney gift, this could very easily be your answer.

On my last visit to the Disneyland Resort I spent a little time in the Blue Sky Cellar. Its a great place to get a peak Over The Fence into everything that is planned for Disney California Adventure Park. There you can see the various projects that are underway, as well as those that may be planned and sometimes dreamed, for future expansion at the Parks.

I for one am anxiously waiting for the new Cars Land, that is slated for opening the summer of 2012. And hope to be the first person to ride the new Radiator Springs Racers.

But probably will be 2nd or 3rd. Hers a look at the new ride vehicles take at the D 23 Expo this last August 2011.

 

 

While in the Blue

Sky Cellar, I was able to get a few photos of the new Partners Statue, slated to be placed in Disney California Adventure Park Buena Vista Street. Which will be the new entrance to the Park.

 

It will a recreation of the L.A. area that Walt first saw when he came to California. The statue is incredible in the detail. From every angle, it portrays the Walt and Mickey that were filled with energy and enthusiasm for the new adventures that were waiting for them in the Golden State.

 

The Statue will be a great addition, and will undoubtably become the new “photo spot” at Disney California Adventure. Here is a couple of the shots I took.

 

 

I was also able to try to get a couple of picture of the model of the Carthey Circle Theater, looking down the Buena Vista Street to the Theater.

 

Its going to be magnificent, and will include a Club 33 style restaurant, that will be open to the public to enjoy.

And again this is all slated to be happening this summer, I can’t wait.

 

 

Well its Chrismas time again and all of us here at Disneyland Obsession would like to take a moment, to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

It seems to me the days go by faster and faster, and it wont be that long till it’s Christmas Time again. But for now look around the room, see your loved ones around you and rejoice. Your family and friends are what make life worth living.

So I want to say thanks to you our Disneyland Obsession family, on behalf of all the crew, thanks for all the blessings.

And may 2012 fill your life with great joy!

 

I decided That I should share my thoughts, and some pictures about one of our favorite things at Disneyland, The Parades. Disneyland always does a great job in it’s productions of on the street entertainment, and this one is no exception

 

Mickey Soundsational Parade, is another Disney masterpiece of entertainment. From the moment the drum line hits the street to the last float parades by, it is a non stop musical event, that will keep your toes tapping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It contains elements from just about every Disney movie or attraction, so it is filled with all of those familiar faces and characters, that we all know and love. It has lots of high energy dancing filling the spaces between the floats. You’ll see a collection of newly imagined floats, that are in keeping with the magic you’ve come to expect in any Disney entertainment.

Every float has moving parts and contains a maze of parts and pieces, that all fit together in color and design.

 

So next time your in the Parks be sure to set aside some time on Main Street USA, to watch the new Mickeys Soundsational Parade, or any of the “Street Magic”.

Everyone is represented in the Parade, From the Princesses to the Ariel’s Undersea Adventure are presented in very colorful floats and costumes.

 

Tis the season, and if you have ever been to “The Land”, Disneyland at Christmas time, you know that there is lots, that gets changed at this time of year. The entire Park is decorated with Holly and Ornaments, plus special lighting everywhere. It’s a fabulous time to visit the Parks, especially in the early weeks of December, and mid week. Visitors have been reporting to Disneyland Obsession that there have been many days where you can just walk on the rides, all the while enjoying everything that Disneyland has to offer at Christmas. Special music Parades and Fireworks.

To get a look at the work that goes on behind the scenes, getting ready to  transform the Parks at this time of year, watch this video below, Enjoy! And Merry Christmas!
