Is “Star Wars Land” Coming To Disneyland?

Now that Disney owns the rights to Star Wars and Lucas Film, they are making a 7th movie, and many are wondering if they are planning to do even more with Star Wars – like possibly build a whole Land themed after the legendary films?

In an online survey that was sent in late March to Disney Annual Passholders and other Disney enthusiasts, one of the questions read “How interested would you be in visiting a Star Wars themed land at the Disneyland Resort?”

Unfortunately that’s as far as the news has gone so far – we can only speculate at this time what they might do with the results from that survey, but hopefully people are in favor of the idea, and I know that personally my husband and I would be ALL FOR IT – we love Star Tours, and a Star Wars Land would be a perfect addition to Disneyland (and maybe someday Disney World in Florida too? One can dream….)

T.G.I.F. Pic Of The Week – New Haunted Mansion Souvenirs Appear In The Disney Parks!

Disney is always changing up their merchandise offerings, which is great for those of us who are looking for a uniquely new souvenir – and what better thing to bring home than something that reminds me of one of my favorite Disney rides – The Haunted Mansion!

These brand new Haunted Mansion inspired items are so great – what a perfect way to decorate your home with that subtle little hint of Disney?

Hard Candy will taste even better out of this creepy candy dish

A Frame for your most paranormal photo

A place to rest your head

Oh, and it would make a great addition to this pillow – which has been available for a while at the Parks

And probably my personal fave – this coaster set would look perfect on my bar, and you can’t help but laugh at the sayings!

 

Right now, these are available exclusively at select locations at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, but I am betting they will show up online via the Disney Store soon!

T.G.I.F. Pic Of The Week – Some Of My Favorite (Disney) Things

There are MANY things to love about Walt Disney World, so many that it’s hard to narrow down my absolute “favorites”, but I can try…

A Hug From A Character – there are few things better than this, it just makes you instantly feel like a kid again!

Mickey Waffles – Luckily this one isn’t limited to just the Disney Parks, I can make them at home with my Mickey Waffle Maker!

This is my absolute favorite view in the whole world (disney world or real world!) – the view of Cinderella’s Castle down Main Street is amazing, it just reminds me that I’m “home” again

 

These are just a very few of my favorite Disney things – they are each special to me, and seeing them reminds me of just how special Disney World is, and how much I love it!

T.G.I.F. Pic Of The Week – Showing Some Disney Love

Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the year - Valentine’s Day, and I know many (ok, most) people don’t like it, or think its stupid or just a “Hallmark Holiday”, and they are right, to some extent ha, but to me, the day is about a chance to show your love in a new, different way, or to take a change and confess your love to someone new. Plus I like red and pink and hearts, so that helps too!

For those of you who were lucky enough to celenrate this day of love at WDW, I hope you were able to check out their “Celebration Of True Love” at the Magic Kingdom Park, where couples were able to renew and reaffirm their love for each other at Cinderella’s Castle! This was a part of “True Love Week”, which is a part of the year long WDW’s Limited Time Magic celebration that continues on all throughout 2013!

Oh, and while you’re in Disney World, don’t forget to sample some delicious Valentine’s Treats!

Another part of the “Limited Time Magic” campaign is the transformation of Cinderella’s Castle in Disney World and It’s A Small World in Disneyland Park – during the nightly “The Magic, The Memories, and You!” show, these are turned into beautiful red and pink displays, perfect for Valentine’s Day lovers on both coasts!

…If you happen to be in the doghouse because you forgot about V-Day, I recommend you check out the Disney Store’s selection of Valentine’s Gifts….better late than never right?

T.G.I.F Pic Of The Week – Walt’s Vision Comes To Life At Disneyland

I know I mostly talk about how amazing Walt Disney World is, and it really is a great place to vacation for adults and kids alike, but the truth is, it isn’t the *original* Disney Theme Park - that title belongs to the Disneyland Theme Park in California, the place Walt created and saw his dreams and visions come to life!

I am lucky enough to have traveled to Disneyland once before, and am planning to go again sometime in the fall of 2014 (in time for their Halloween Festivities!), and I found myself going through some of my old pictures from that trip to the “Land”, and remembering just how great it is….

From the words that greet you as you enter the Happiest Place On Earth

To the view down Main Street USA of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle

To a delicious character breakfast complete with Mickey Waffles at the Plaza Inn

To a spin on the Teacups

 

Disneyland has it all, and best of all – it’s all courtesy of the imagination of the man behind the mouse – Walt himself!

I can’t say I like Disnleyland better than Disney World, but I CAN say that I love them both for different reasons, and I know that I can’t WAIT to return to sunny California for more of the Disney Magic I love so much!

T.G.I.F. Pic Of The Week – Designer Disney Purses? Yes Please!

There are SO MANY Disney souvenirs available at the Parks that I know I have to hold back and not buy them all because well that would get expensive, not to mention I would never be able to get my suitcase closed after!

…Of course one solution to THAT dilemma is that you could always buy another bag while at WDW to keep all those new treasures in. And if it’s a bag you’re in the market for, Disney – or should I say designer Dooney and Burke has you covered – with some amazing designer bags themed after everyone’s favorite Park and Mouse!

 

How about an adorable clutch, classic carryall, or fun colorful tote?

Personally I am VERY into this Iphone case – it is definitely my favorite Dooney and Burke item and I can’t wait to get my hands on one!

 

One perk of being an Adult Walt Disney World vacationer without any kids is that you may have a bit more pocket money than those with kids, so what do you think – would you splurge and buy one of these bags?? Check them out online and decide for yourself!
