Summertime at Disneyland is both a wonderful and dreadful experience at the same time. The park is bursting with color, energy, and entertainment…but the crowds are overwhelming and the heat can be brutal. It can be easy to write off summertime at the resort as “too much”, but if you look through this album, I […] Read more…

Lands After Dark: Avengers Campus
I have to say, I think I enjoy Avengers Campus a lot more at night – both for aesthetic reasons (those glowing lights make the details pop!), and for practical ones (no shade = brutally hot during the day). There’s just something really cool about seeing the Quinjet illuminated and the Orb of Cagliostro in […] Read more…
Unusual Angles: Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge
It’s a little hard to declare anything in Galaxy’s Edge unusual when the whole land is designed to be that way. No alleyway, building, or path is supposed to look familiar. That’s the point. So when pulling pictures for this post, I instead tried to think about areas I don’t see much – whether on […] Read more…
Queue Closeup: Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride
One of my favorite attractions in Fantasyland is Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. I just love the hand painted sets, ridiculous storyline, and of course…taking a tour of the majestic Toad Hall. Shall we take a motorcar ride to nowhere in particular? Let’s go. Our tour of Toad Hall starts in the garden. Here, we’ll find […] Read more…

Welcome back to another round of park snapshots! This edition is a mix of old and new – some photos from this spring, and some I’ve been holding onto for years. I hope you enjoy this virtual walkthrough and it holds you over until your next trip. Fowler’s Harbor is always so quiet. It’s such […] Read more…
Queue Closeup: Rise of the Resistance
As you walk through Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll see Storm Troopers and First Order flags clearly marking their territory. But on the outer edges of the land, you’ll see signs of a Resistance outpost. If you play your cards right, the guards outside may let you in. Shall we try our luck? We’re in! After a […] Read more…
Springtime Photo Album 2022
There’s something special about springtime at Disneyland. The park blooms with flowers, from the carefully manicured beds on Main Street to the sunken gardens in Paradise Gardens Park. You’ll see ducklings exploring the resort’s various bodies of water, hidden Easter Eggs decorated as classic characters, and the return of the Food and Wine festival, which […] Read more…
Lands in Pictures: Avengers Campus
Avengers Campus draws fans of all ages into California Adventure. From the detailed ruins of the ancient sanctum to the towering fortress housing the Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel fans have a new stomping ground to explore within the park. I’m particularly fond of the sanctum – the architectural details are really stunning and it […] Read more…

Holiday Photo Album 2021
Christmas Eve has always been one of my favorite days of the year. I love the mix of cheer, excitement, and extra sparkle from holiday decorations – especially at Disneyland! From the massive tree on Main Street to the shiny streamers in Cars Land, the resort goes all in on the fun. And that goes […] Read more…
Queue Closeup: Jungle Cruise
Are you feeling adventurous today? I’ve heard there’s a boat company in Adventureland that will take us on a river cruise. We might be able to spot some wild animals! Let’s head over to the boat house and see if they’ll take us. The boat house is home away from home for jungle explorers. Check […] Read more…
Halloween Photo Album 2021
After missing out on the Halloween season at Disneyland last year, it felt so good to be back! The resort has so much energy this time of year, and it’s so much fun to see all the attraction overlays and see the villains, even from a distance. Here are a few snapshots from the park’s […] Read more…
Snapshots Vol. 2
You may remember a few weeks ago I shared some snapshots from my visits to the parks. I just want to take a minute to say thank you – I’ve never received so many DMs, emails, and messages asking for a follow up post! I’m so glad you all share my love of random Disneyland […] Read more…
Unusual Angles: Paradise Gardens Park
Paradise Gardens Park is a magnificently open land. Its southern border is Paradise Bay, and park’s attractions all face the waterway, giving guests beautiful views from almost everywhere. You’ve probably seen photos of the waterfront countless times, but many of the best views are actually found with your back to the bay! From this vantage […] Read more…
