Life is a Journey

So unless you are living under a rock, EVERYONE knows that it is Halloween time at the Parks. I know I haven't posted in a while and I sincerely apologize for that. Hopefully these pics will brighten your day. Thank goodness for smartphones...I'll always know where I parked! Here's a little update on the new parking structure. I was on a mission to get my COCO mug and I did get it but these little guys got my attention. I didn't buy one but now I sure wish I had. Here's my mug - video taken the next day at home. I finally tried out mobile ordering on the Disneyland app. It was great! This is the Cruella De Ville brownie! I love, love, love the mine poisoned apple! While I devoured my Cruella De Ville dessert, I made a quick video of the new food guide that you can pick up at City Hall. Next, I bought a large poisoned apple mug and this one came with my choice of grapes or pineapple. I chose the grapes because Disneyland ...

I went to Disneyland on Friday the 13th knowing that the Halloween goodies would be open to all but not fully realizing just how many people would go! Getting there was a nightmare...the last 4 miles took FOREVER. Thanks to some jerks that kept cutting into my lane, I missed getting into the parking structure. They closed it as I arrived. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I was rerouted to the Woody parking lot - ugh, talk about inconvenient! It took an additional 20 minutes to get to the parking lot and then 10 minutes to wait for a bus. By the time I actually got to the Park I was starving so the first order of business was to EAT! My friend from work met me at the Park and she had never been to the Jolly Holiday Bakery so that's where we went to grab a sandwich. Before placing my order, I snapped pics of the Halloween goodies....make sure you click on the pictures to enlarge them. You'll be able to smell the desserts. I promise! This chocolate cookie crumb cheesecake is what...

Confused? Don't be. On Tuesday, I took a test with a company in Orange County and I think it went quite well. Since I was out there and I didn't really feel like sitting on the 91 freeway for 2 hours, I decided to go to Disneyland. I loved seeing the pumpkin characters above the turnstiles! The City Hall area is apparently being renovated. As I was walking by, I saw that the horse had been disconnected from the trolley! The colors of Halloween! By this time it was 4:20 in the afternoon and I was STARVING. I went to the Carnation Cafe and ordered a fantastic cheeseburger with fries. Oh it was good. You can see that I had practically the whole place to myself! After that GREAT burger, I walked to Frontierland and stopped to check out the cool Halloween stuff. Here you see a Leota snow globe. It is really cool and has a battery operated light which I turned on for the photo. At $24.95 it was a bit too steep for this unemployed Disney Freak so I h...
