This is the second set which feature the 25th Anniversary parade. Please forgive the somewhat blurry photos – we are spoilt nowadays … Continue reading

My Disney Collection – Lencia Figurines
These little 32% lead crystal & 24k gold plated figurines I bought some years ago online. Originally they were $125 each (according to the price stickers) and I paid $25 for the lot.

My Disney Collection – Mickey Mouse Figure
Most of the items in my Disney collection are Disney authorised and approved, however a friend of mine who got a new woodworking tool of some type made this Mickey Mouse for me. Isn’t it cool? You can’t see in the photo but he has a tail too.
My Disney Collection – Alice in Wonderland Plates
Although I’m not a massive Alice in Wonderland movie fan, I do love the bright, colourful artwork from the movie and of course one of my doglet’s is called Alice. Therefore I couldn’t resist these Alice in Wonderland plates which I got a few years ago at Disneyland. We have put them in the wall in our … Continue reading
My Disney Collection – Frozen Mugs
I confess, not only do a I own 14 weeks worth of socks, I also have far too many mugs. 🙂 These four Frozen mugs I got on our last trip to Florida. I got them at T.J. Maxx or Ross Dress for Less so they were only a couple of dollars each, rather than … Continue reading

My Disney Collection – Mickey Mouse Disneyland Bottle Opener
This week’s “My Disney Collection” item, like week’s item is also fairly new to my collection, I got it recently via an online auction and paid $NZ7 for it including postage (less than $US5). Its a fairly heavy metal bottle opener and I think it likely was a souvenir from the late 1980s. Interestingly I … Continue reading

For Disneyland’s 60 celebration, Disneyland changed the World of Color show on the Disney California Adventure lagoon to be more about Walt Disney.

Disneyland Paint the Night Parade Videos
One of the new attractions that was announced for the Disneyland 60th Anniversary event was the new Paint the Night parade. I was definitely not disappointed when we saw this while visiting for the 60th celebration. It was just beautiful and the music pays homage to the Baroque Hoedown used for the old Mainstreet Electrical parade. … Continue reading
Disneyland Paint the Night Parade
One of the new attractions that was announced for the Disneyland 60th Anniversary event was the new Paint the Night parade. The Mainstreet Electrical parade hadn’t run at Disneyland since 1996 and fans had long been calling for this parade to return. After I had seen the older SpectroMagic at Walt Disney World, and comparing it more … Continue reading
Grizzly Peak Airfield at Disney California Adventure Park
Earlier this year Disney California Adventure Park re-imagined the old Condor Flats area into the new Grizzly Peak Airfield. I was looking back through my old photos of Disneyland to show you before and after and couldn’t find any of this area. It used to be very grey and concrete with very few photographically interesting areas. … Continue reading
