Disneyland’s 60th Merchandise
One of the things that many Disney fans were excited about was the new merchandise offerings for the Disneyland 60th celebration. With the diamond anniversary colour scheme of blue and silver, I was keen to see the available goodies to buy.

The return of the Hatbox Ghost
When Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion attraction first opened in 1969, one of the effects was the Hatbox Ghost.

The Main Street Electrical Parade … Continue reading
Throwback Thursday – Disneyland’s Parade of Dreams
With Disneyland beginning the 60th anniversary celebration, I thought it would be fun to highlight some photos from the 50th. We were lucky enough to visit Disneyland a few days after the 50th celebration kicked off in 2005. With it came the new Parade of Dreams that ran through to the end of 2008. … Continue reading
A very Kiwi Christmas
And speaking of Christmas, it always seemed a bit weird to me that the majority of references we see are for a northern hemisphere Christmas. Here in the southern hemisphere, Christmas is our summer. A traditional Kiwi Christmas is often a BBQ or a beach day. On Friday night, as us wild women do, Mum … Continue reading
