Disneyland- My Favorites!

 Yes, I love Disneyland.

If you have followed my blog for any time at all,

you are pretty aware of that fact!

And if you happened upon my little blog

because of the Pink Ear Pixie Blog Hop,

go ahead and poke around a bit.

You will find a lot of Disney love here!

 So, I had a hard time narrowing down what

I wanted to talk about in this post.

I love it all!

So I decided to talk about my favorite things!

Well of course!

My favorite place to stay at the Disneyland Resort

is the Disneyland Hotel!

After many trips to Disneyland over the years,

we finally got to stay at the Disneyland Hotel 

last Summer for our family vacation

when we celebrated India's high school graduation.

It was Magical!

Who is my favorite Disneyland employee?

Why, that would be my beautiful daughter,

India!

She is a tour guide (or "Bookie" as 

they call themselves)

on the Storybook Land Canal Boats 

in Fantasy Land.

India is in the Disney College Program.

She works there full time, 

takes college classes, 

and lives in the DCP student housing.

She LOVES this program

and we are so proud of her!

Currently, my favorite ride is

"Soarin Over California"

which is a hangliding style adventure

where you get to experience the beauty 

and fragrance of our beautiful state.

Yes, I said fragrance, because you can actually

smell the orange groves, ocean air,

vineyards and desert dust!

However, "Soarin" just may be moved

bumped off the pedestal on

May 21!

Why is that?

Well.........

The Little Mermaid  MY princess.

Why?

Well, of course,

she is a redhead that sings and loves the ocean!

She is me!

This was my Mother's Day present from India.

Do you see what is peaking behind the

pin cards?

That would be a preview ticket for me!

YES!!!!! 

I get to ride the new Little Mermaid ride

in Disney California Adventure

before it opens to the general public!!!!!!!!!

You see, my Hot Rockin' Hubby

and my India put their heads together

to buy me plane tickets to go next weekend

for a special time, just India and me!

And the previews for the ride are that weekend!!!

YAY!!

Oh, and look closely at those pins India sent me.

The Tinkerbell pin on the right 

is a special pin that only cast members can purchase.

Special me!

My favorite food in Disneyland

is Dole Whip. 

When we were there visiting India in March,

it rained like crazy on her day off.

So we donned our lovely pink ponchos

and got our Dole Whip at the 

Tiki Room anyway!

SO YUMMY!

Because I sew most of my daughter's clothes,

and all of their costumes,

it is hard for me to decide which is my favorite

Disneyland outfit.

This one is pretty close to my favorite!
For Halloween 2009, 

both of my girls chose to be 

Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

Ahnalin has worn this in Disneyland several times!

I made her this outfit for our trip last summer.

I LOVE the appliqued I made for the top!

I was able to customize it to make

the little girl look like my Ahnalin!

And this one......

do you have any idea how hard it is to find

Dumbo clothes for little girls!

Dumbo is Ahnalin's favorite movie.

I have sung the lullaby

"Baby Mine" to her every night

since she was placed in our arms.

So she begged for a Dumbo dress

I loved making this special outfit for my baby!

I have made many more.

And as I love to design

custom garments for clients,

I love to make special Disney 

outfits for other little girls!

If you would like to talk to me

about creating a special outfit for your 

little princess,

You can leave me a comment

and please include your email address.

Or, you can convo me through my

Etsy shop!

I will contact you and we can create

magic together!

And look, do you see me?

I mean, the Goosegirl?

When we went in January,

we got to see
It's A Small World 

still dressed up in it's holiday finery.

I was thrilled to see the Goosegirl all fancy!

I could go on and on. 

Disneyland is a special place for our family.

We have made many wonderful,

happy memories there over the years.

Thank you for letting me share a few pieces of Disney Magic

that are so special to me.
