Limited Time Magic: Unleash the Villains!

This month, Disneyland hosted a special Friday the 13th event welcoming the Halloween season into the parks. There were a lot of special events, limited time treats, and guest villains throughout the park. Ryan and I Disneybounded as Vanessa and a hypnotized Prince Eric. One of the special dance clubs going on was at the New Orleans Square train station. There was a dance floor placed on the tracks, and quite a few rare villains came out to party including Hades, Dr. Facilier, Maleficent, and Judge Frollo. The park stayed open until the 13th hour. It was super crowded and super fun!

Disneyland Dapper Day

September 6th was Dapper Day at Disneyland. Dapper Day is when everyone dresses up to go to the park. Most outfits are inspired by the time when Disneyland opened. This year there was also a Disneybound theme to dress up based on inspiration from a Disney character. Ryan and I went as Carl and Ellie from Up. It was really hot and we were resting on a bench in California Adventure, and the cutest old Cast Member walked by and told us how much he loved the atmosphere on Dapper Day and that we looked very nice. He was very sweet. We were also surprised at how many people were actually dressed up, it almost seemed like every other group was participating.

A Very Disney Engagement Shoot

You may remember that my cousin Michael proposed to his fiance, Whitney, this past Christmastime in Disneyland. (Caught on video here!) This summer during our annual summer trip, I took a few engagement photos of them in the park. Whitney found the cutest Disney shirts for them to wear as well! Here is a little peek, enjoy.

The Lone Ranger World Premiere

On June 23, 2013 Disney's California Adventure hosted the World Premiere of Disney's latest film, The Lone Ranger. We only found out about the event because we saw them setting up the red carpet a few days in advance. We lined up around 5am, and the event started about 6pm. It was a very hot, very long day to sit on a curb, but totally worth it! Here's a few shots from the day.
