Babes in Disneyland - Even as a child, Walt Disney admired President Abraham Lincoln, often dressing up in a homemade stovepipe hat and his father's frock coat to deliver the Gettysburg address to schoolmates. From that lifelong admiration we eventually got Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. But did you know these 5 facts about this classic attraction? 1.

Babes in Disneyland - While recently dining on the Carnation Cafe patio, I noticed the windows pictured here. The set of three windows is above the restrooms to the back of the dining patio. The center window is for Christopher D. Miller, Walt Disney's grandson and the son of his daughter Diane. The bottom three windows, from right to left are for a gym, Turkish bath, and... wait for it... a message parlor! Anyone else find this surprising?... Read more

Babes in Disneyland - Have you heard the news about the Market House? When it closes for its refurbishment this year it will be retrofitted to serve Starbucks coffee products. Since the Market House opened, the wonderful thing about a cup of Joe was that you could get free refills throughout the day if you kept your receipt. While Starbucks has not announced whether it will honor this tradition, my guess is that it will not. Do you think that the current size of the Market House will be able to handle Disneyland Resort guests' ... Read more

Babes in Disneyland - Believe it or not, there are still things I haven't experienced at the Disneyland Resort, and until recently, Mickey's Fun Wheel was on that list. I'm not a big Ferris Wheel fan and lived in fear of the idea of my kids getting to the top of the attraction and then freaking out as it made it's way back down. Ok. Maybe the fear was 90% me disguised as my worry about my kids. At any rate, my husband and I recently spent a day at the Disneyland Resort sans kids for my birthday and decided it was time to give M... Read more

Babes in Disneyland - About a year ago, our resident Disney historian and trivia guru Randy Crane wrote an informative blog post all about the Disneyland attraction, The Indiana Jones Adventure. (Click here to read the post.) In the post, we published a small decorder card that was given out back in the 1990s. The card was nice, but I have this decoder recently while cleaning out some old boxes and thought I would share it with all of you. This one is likely from the grand opening or shortly thereafter. You can click on t... Read more
