My Soundsational Disney Summer

This has been such an amazing summer of Disney adventures and also a great summer of Disney blogging!  I’ve linked up with some amazing Disney blogs that are doing some great things for the Disney blogging community.  One such blog is Babes in Disneyland by Lisa Robertson of The Three Disneyland Moms fame.  Today her weekly [...]

Trip Report Thursday – My D23 Expo Highlights

Suitcase contents are strewn around the room, stacks of Vinylmation are piled on tables, and I spent most of my afternoon clearing space on my computer to fit all of the pictures I need to upload… all signs point to the end of vacation, and if those weren’t enough, the post-Disney blues have set in [...]

Disney World Trip Report – Day 1

After three-plus years of sitting on my Disney Bucket List, the day had come to check one off the list… Disney World with my best friend and her family was gleaming in the early-morning Orlando sun like a field of pixie dust encrusted wishes.  After a near-midnight plane touch-down, we were a slightly bleary-eyed group [...]

Trip Planning Thursday – D23 Expo ’11

I can’t believe that the D23 Expo is only 35 days away!  I’m so excited to have the opportunity to do this again.  The 2009 Inaugural Expo was so indescribably awesome, I don’t know what they will do to top it… but I’m sure they will come up with something! I thought for my first [...]

Bitten By the Vinylmation Bug

When I first saw a Vinylmation figure on-line, almost two and a half years ago, I thought, how silly!  Who would ever want something so strange? When I saw them in person about a year later, I thought, well, those are actually kind of cute, maybe I’ll get one.  At the end of that trip, [...]

Disney Treasure Hunting

As I mentioned last week, Friday was antique treasure hunting day… one of my favorite days.  My mom and I pile in the car, drive across town, and embark on a journey through our favorite antique store that usually last for several hours… all in the name of finding that one hidden Disney gem that [...]

Magic Delivered

I had kind of a crummy day today. I spent the long ride home in rush hour wondering if I was making the right decisions for my life. It just wasn’t a good day. But, when I walked in the door to my house, the most coveted item I can think of was waiting with [...]

The November Forecast for Rays of Disneyland

Looks sunny… Things are looking brighter than ever here at Rays of Disneyland!  A huge thanks to all the new readers who have come here from NaBloWriMo.  Welcome… I hope you stay and play awhile.  NaBloWriMo really got the ball rolling here and November will continue with near daily updates.  Here’s the plan so far… [...]

Celebrating 20 Years of Disneyland Magic

While Disneyland is celebrating its 55th Anniversary this year, when I arrive at the Happiest Place on Earth in two short weeks, I have my own milestone to celebrate.  This trip will mark 20 years of visiting Disneyland for me!  It may seem like a silly thing to keep track of, but it means the [...]

Christmas Greetings from Disneyland

Ironically, a small bit of Main Street had donned Christmas Decorations for a promotion in September. I can remember watching the Disney Christmas Parade when I was really little.  After the rush of excitement from opening presents and dressing up for church, my mom and grandma and I would curl up in the family room [...]
