Wicked Fun For Everyone!

Wicked Family Fun ~ Disney Style!

I love looking back at our Halloween memories year after year... remember these? (click here)

This was Kaia Rae's first official year Trick or Treating... as she toddled to each candy station instead of saying trick or treat she would ask "pleeease"- so sweet!

Nick collects candy with a character from Meet the Robinsons.

~Fairies of all ages are still granted permission to find their inner magic~

"Oh, look at the sky Mom!!!! How did they do that????"

My response "Disney thinks of everything," of course!

"SPOOKY SKY"

Disney's Halloween Time Starts TODAY

Psst...

Wanna know one of the best-kept secrets of the Disney Parks?

Although summer vacation and Disneyland go hand in hand, there's a time to visit when you can see a whole different side of the Disney Resorts -- autumn. Have you ever seen their decorations? Living in So. Cal. we often miss out on a real fall season... not at Disneyland! The parks are transformed with fall decorations that turn the park into a autumn wonderland. Can you tell this is my favorite time of year? Starting today, the weather is often nicer than summer, the crowds are mostly gone, and the Parks are bustling with special events and harvest fun.

Halloween Time Fun starts by clicking here!

At Disneyland Park, there's the much-beloved Haunted Mansion Holiday, which transforms the spooky attraction into Jack Skellington's "Nightmare Before Christmas" domain, this year's Halloween Time brings some new twists. Space Mountain has had a spine-tingling transformation into Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy – a spooky twist that's truly out of this world! There are also the brand-new fireworks extravaganza "Halloween Screams," hosted by Pumpkin King Jack Skellington himself.

Mickey's Trick-or-Treat Party at Disney's California Adventure Park is an extra special treat– with live music, candy to collect, games to play, and more. Even the youngest Disney fans can run-a-muck through candy corn acres and enjoy all the fun with none of fright! This special limited-admission event only happens on select nights and sells out every year, reserve your spot at the party.

I have to admit, making this a tradition was a total accident, but we all look so forward to it, we wouldn't miss it!!! Check out all the fun we had last year (click here)

Halloween Time ends November 1

Food and Wine Festival Ala Disney

The Fourth Annual Food & Wine Festival at Disney's Callifornia Adventure
is in full swing and continues through June 7th.

This years' 45-day "World Celebration" spotlights the flavors, people, cultures and traditions from around the world.

This unique event is not something I'd expect at any Disney Resort and pleasantly caught me off guard.

California Adventure had me at "hello" the minute I heard I could get a Margarita from Mickey there. Add a Food & Wine Festival... "Mama Like!"

This is my first year visiting the park during the Festival to enjoy the all the activities (drink, drank, drunk) giggle~

This would make a perfect "Girl's Night Out", or "Date Night". If you have a pass it is an absolute "Disney Must Do". So go ahead get a sitter and head on over to California Adventure's Food & Wine Festival-

Tell them HappyHourMom sent you~

Mickey Goes Green

Happy Earth Day Friends!

We have a few plans to celebrate Earth Day.

First today, we will head over to our local Disney Store... have you heard???

Disney Store locations nationwide will host a plastic bottle recycling program called “Recycling is Magic.” To help educate children on the benefits of recycling, Disney Store is inviting everyone to bring in empty plastic bottles and toss them into a unique recycling bin. On April 22, while supplies last, guests can exchange three empty bottles for a free commemorative Earth Day reusable water bottle.

Recycling=free present from The Disney Store sounds like fun to me!

 

Next, my whole family will be going to see the movie Disneynature earth. Even Nick's 3rd grade class is going to see Earth together. Watch the trailer. For Tickets to The El Captian Theater call 1-800-Disney6 . Want to see Earth with your friends? Save 40% on a group of 20 or more at

The El Captian Theatre by calling (818) 845-3110.

Additionally, for every ticket sold for Earth during the first week of it’s release,

Disney will plant a tree in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered rainforests in the world.

Plus- Wildlife experts showcase exotic animals from around the world, LIVE only on the

El Capitan Stage!!!

P.S. You can download Earth Educational materials for free at www.disney.com/earth. There is a super cool 8 page Earth activity guide and a 58 page Earth's educator's guide.

Places To Take The Kids For Spring Break (series)....Hannah Montana The Movie

Ever since we saw her first concert, Miley Cyrus won me over! She performs like a rock star singing her heart out and gives each show her all. And after meeting her, I was convinced Billy Ray's real talent is in raising his daughter... not singing or haircuts!!! I personally am excited to take Nick and his friends to see this kid flick. I am anticipating an "afterschool special" type of message. Wouldn't that be nice?

Here's a peek at the movie and the Let's Get Crazy music video.

As for where to see it... There's only one place to be*

I'm a big fan of The El Capitan Theatre...

You may remember as I've posted before.

*Side Note- Do you remember the Jonas Brothers Movie? Well, it played here and opening weekend they made a top secret live appearance before the movie to the "thrill" or should I say "shrill" of their fans. 

Not that I've heard Miley will be at the theatre.... I'm just saying.

This special theatre is a history lesson, Old Hollywood style. It's not just going to the movies it's an all day event. My son loves the "Hollywood Scene". I wonder where he gets it? All I have to do is say the word and he's ready to go in his coolest jeans. "How do I look Mom?", turned into "will you get me an agent?" Yes, he keeps asking. (I just might have to look into it)

April 10th-21................Hannah Montana The Movie
