Annual Passholder Event: Sleeping Beauty's 55th Anniversary

Last week, on January 31, to celebrate Sleeping Beauty's 55th Anniversary of it's theatrical debut, Disneyland offered Annual Passholders the opportunity to watch the film on Main Street at the Opera House, and to remain in Fantasyland 2 hours after the rest of the park closed. They also hosted classic Sleeping Beauty characters not often seen in the parks, such as Aurora, Prince Phillip, Maleficent, and the 3 fairy godmothers, Fauna, Flora and Merriweather. The event was pretty full, but it was awesome to stay in the park late and see all the characters around Fantasyland!

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!

Innoventions: Stark Industries Iron Man Tech

This summer Innoventions in Tomorrowland has been host to the Stark Industries exhibit, Iron Man Tech. They have props from the three Iron Man films, including the entire suit display from Tony's workshop! They also have an interactive exhibit where you can become Ironman. You get digitally suited up, and can practice flying and shooting hand lasers. I am a huge Marvel fan, so I really fangirled-out when I was there, and I recommend checking it out if you are a fan too. 

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.
