Disneyland's Summer Line-Up

It's going to be a Soundsational Summer at the Disneyland Resort taking place from June 3-Sept 5! (IT STARTS TODAY PEOPLE!) So mark it down in your Calendars, I know we have some plans to visit the Parks in the next few months. The Resort is extra fun during the summertime. Our Disney Annual Passes (So Cal) get blacked out soon. But if we want to buy a discounted blockout day ticket, they are $50 per person. Of'course there is always the possibility of upgrading our passes.... Hmmmm!

 

Disneyland has officially kicked off their new main street show, Mickey's Soundsational Parade including a new drumline, new colorful floats, and some of my favorite characters including Rapunzel, Mary Poppins, Princess Tiana, and Ariel.

And speaking of Ariel, we have all been waiting for the Little Mermaid ride to be finished and the time is finally here. Introducing the coolest thing to happen to California Adventure, since the WORLD OF COLOR. Ariel's Undersea Adventure opens June 3, and I can't wait to get on.

When they shut down Mulholland Madness, my daughter was really bummed, because it one one of her favorite rides in California Adventure. But I knew something bigger and better was coming our way. This summer Goofy will be teaching all of us how to fly. I'm really looking forward to seeing how my daughter feels about this new ride! Looks pretty Goofy, if you ask me. 

Star Tours is back for the next generation with a new adventure. Can't wait to see what it's like to travel to another galaxy and back all in the matter of a few minutes. I know my husband is looking forward to this Star Wars inspired ride.

If you still have yet to see the show World of Color... You are missing out! We've seen it a number of times & it still is breathtaking! Plus now they've added new stuff for Pirates of the Caribbean with the mermaids and scenes from Tangled! Yay!

And who could forget about the nighttime party - ElecTRONica, which is still going on at California Adventure. It's not summertime until you have a glowing drink at the parks! Cheers!

Glow Fest at California Adventure

~Glow Fest Summer Fun~
Don't miss the party!
The lights go out in August
Extended through Labor Day!

Glow Fest was so wildly popular what can Disney do to top that?

 A "Tron" themed Dance Party is in the works.

A nighttime street party debuting this fall at Disney California Adventure will be tied to the upcoming “Tron: Legacy“ film and will feature sci-fi themed music, dancers and cocktails.
See the complete story here.........

GlowFest at Disneyland 2010

As the sun goes down at Disney California Adventure Park the Ultimate Summer Street Party comes alive.

If you have not had the chance to be a part of this GLOWtastic event there is only about a month left (Until Aug 29), so do your inner teenager a favor & GO-GO-GO to GLOWFEST!

The best way that I can describe it is it feels like Spring Break in Cancun.

They serve adult beverages like the “GLOWtini” & the “GLOWjito” of which I highly recommend BOTH! They come with a special glowing ice cube, that makes your drink light up! So Freakin’ Cool.

But it’s not just for adults, the kids LOVE it too! Check out Kaia & her Best Friend Mya getting CRAZY @ GLOWFEST!

People are dancing in the street, including the Go-Go Dancers on the Platforms. Disney characters & Movies scenes are blasted in large screens.

Everyone sings along to the music being spun by a DJ, playing Black Eyed Peas, Selena Gomez & the Glee Cast to name a few.

It goes on every Summer Nightastic in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot until the Park Closes. It is a PARTY unlike anything you have ever experienced at Disneyland before.

(Disclaimer: I was not compensated in any way for this post. I just enjoy things that GLOW!)

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-
