Disneyland opened in 1955 and since opening day, each cast member has worn a name tag. Some without an actual name printed, but all wore a tag. Here’s a great set of photos taking you through the basic name tags of the past and present. They have certainly morphed, but more or less have kept […]
Happy Easter everybody! If you haven’t tried the Easter Egg hunt at the Disneyland Resort, I highly recommend it! You can pay $5 for a map and you get a prize at the end, or just go around hunting for free and you can get a pat on the back. 😉 There are 12 eggs […]
RETRO DISNEYLAND HISTORY Remember the Viewliner? Very few do! This narrow-gauge, miniature train ran along parts of the Disneyland Railroad main line and made loops through Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. It only ran from mid 1957 to late 1958 when construction began for the Matterhorn and the Submarine Voyage. It was billed as both the “fastest […]

You can get your pictures taken by professionals, and their cameras are better than your smartphone! Although if you ask nicely they will take a […]
First of all, I would like to send a huge thank you to author Joe Cosgrove for organizing a signing event at Club 33 for his book, “Walt Dreamers Me“. I would also like to thank the great people in the MouseWait family for holding a raffle for some extra spots that allowed my wife […]
It seemed that Disney was just about to create the perfect storm of crowd-control nightmares when they announced their “Monstrous All-Nighter” for May 24th. Both parks were open from 6am to 6am on a holiday weekend, right before summer, while hosting a Grad Night. I can still vividly remember their previous 24-hour event and would […]
If you want a break from the heat, drop by Innoventions and check out Iron Man Tech Presented by Stark Industries. It’s a small display showing some set pieces and costumes from the movie. You can even virtually “suit up” and become Iron Man! Here are some pictures from my last visit. Enjoy!
