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.
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.
P.S. HappyHourMom and family will be at Mickey's Trick or Treat Party on October 2, hope to see you and your little goblins too!
~Trick or Treat~
Halloween Time ends November 1

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.
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)

As we headed off to the theatre in Hollywood, my son asked if we were going to the "real Hollywood". I realized that living in L.A. we take for granted things like Hollywood history. I sat up a little higher in the driver's seat and told Nick we were going to see something great! We were headed for an adventure and maybe we'd see a movie star!!! He spotted the stars on the sidewalk without prompting, and squealed with delight! As luck would have it, they were shooting on the street right across from the theatre, so we got to see all the lights, cameras and Jimmy Kimmel. It was very exciting to my 8 year old! I showed him the old style of the El Capitan ticket booth and the lights on the marquee are beautiful at night. There were ushers that helped us take our seats (another thing not recognized by kids these days). Disney songs were played by a live organist on the stage. Then the Christmas stage show began and the kids eyes lit up and so did mine, I love the parades at Disneyland and this is the same idea only here you have a really good seat! The whole gang were there, Mickey and Minnie, Buzz and Woody, Stitch and Pooh Bear and all the Princesses!!! What fun it was to get a high five from Goofy dressed as Santa as the show ends, the characters walk up the isles waving and blowing kisses.
The movie was incredible in 3-D, I felt like I was watching a James Bond movie. Check out the Totally action packed first scene! This is not the childhood Disney film we remember as kids. It's Disney on Red Bull, which is right up my family's alley. We munched our popcorn, which tastes much better in that neat Bolt pail (that you take home). From the moment he came on the screen, Rhino the hamster was the hands down favorite. The kids got the jokes and my sisters and I were rolling! (pun intended)
Rhino
The movie ends in Classic Disney fashion, with an Excellent feel good song
