I’ll be back with a real update tomorrow (hopefully), but I wanted to make a quick post on here about a product you may have seen my “good friends” talking about over the last few weeks. As you know, I have a pretty direct line of communication with the feral Cats of Disneyland, and they …
Chapter 2 Dinner and a Show As we walked through the castle, we could hear that the Frozen Pre-Parade was going on somewhere along the parade route. This hadn’t started until after we left, so we wanted to check it out at some point on this trip if possible. Luckily, it must have just started …
Chapter 157 Fireworks! Parades! Duffy! Mickey and Minnie were meeting along Big Thunder Trail, and we thought about waiting to meet them, but then we found out their line was over an hour. Instead, we just lurked nearby and tried to snap some pictures in between families. One reason we certainly didn’t have time to …
Chapter 20 Waiting for Bears Previous Post | Next Post Table of Contents We were left to face something of a quandary as we found our way out of Sitka National Historical Park. We were currently right next to the Alaska Raptor Center—another attraction we’d read was certainly worth a visit—but we were also starting to …
Chapter 1 As If We Never Said Goodbye We checked in at the hotel and got our room on the 5th floor. On our way through the corridors, I loved looking down at the 3rd floor and seeing this Mickey below us. Our actual room was pretty standard (though actually quite spacious). We began to …
Chapter 156 Give Me Something Good to Eat We headed into Toontown and found out that we were literally moments too late to be able to meet the characters there. This area of the park was already closing down soon to prepare for fireworks, and they had cut the lines off even though the characters …
Chapter 19 The Forest for the Trees Previous Post | Next Post Table of Contents Sitka National Historical Park is also known as Totem Park among locals because of the extensive collection of totem poles that it contains. Before actually heading into the park ourselves, we decided to check out the visitor’s center. They were going …
Prologue It feels a little bizarre to be writing about a “trip” to Disneyland again after having lived there for more than a year-and-a-half. Tracy and I currently have a pretty awesome situation going on, however. Since she still works at CoolTech (which still has an Orange County office), and since I am still self-employed, we …
Chapter 155 Party Time! October 21, 2013 On Monday, we had tickets for our very first Mickey’s Halloween Party!! Tracy had to work until about 4:00, but then she hurried home and we started getting into our costumes. I dressed up as a Disneyland Cat. And Tracy went as Belle. Wait, here’s a better picture. …
Chapter 18 Walking Through History Previous Post | Next Post Table of Contents We quickly walked far enough west on Lincoln Street that we hit a dead end at Sitka Harbor. This is not a large downtown, but it sure had pretty views. Looking across the harbor, we could see Sitka’s main geographical landmark in …
