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!

Disney's Kitty Colony

You may not know that Disneyland is home to quite a lot of furry felines. It is rare to get a glimpse of them in the park during operational hours as they are not fond of crowds or all the people trying to pet them. Usually they come out when it is dark, and can be seen in bushes or just beyond fences. However, this little guy got brave and ventured out into the Plaza Inn courtyard looking for leftovers. The park was about to close, so it was pretty empty. We saw him just long enough to snap a couple pictures then off he went. Disney welcomes the cats, as they keep the park free from rodents, except Mickey of course.

Disney Secrets: Peter Pan Blocks

Did you know that in the nursery of the Peter Pan ride, the blocks scattered on the floor spell out "Peter Pan"? You can glimpse them for a second as soon as you take the sharp left out the nursery window. (Occasionally the blocks will be rearranged)

Hidden Mickey Monday!

This Mickey can be found in the Storyteller's Cafe restaurant in the Grand Californian Hotel. It can only be seen behind the check-in desk near the door. If you stop by, be sure to have some breakfast there, it's amazing!
