Days in the Park Week in Review (12/5 - 12/10)

It was a fun week at Days in the Park.  Technical problems made it impossible to do an article every day like we would have liked, but sometimes that's just the way that particular ball bounces.  If it didn't exist, we couldn't blog.  But it does exist, so it seems like half the time it doesn't work.  Go figure...  Time for a recap!

On Monday and Tuesday, we challenged you with our weekly "Magical Mystery Mondays" to guess where in The Parks we were when we took a particular picture.  This week's was very special because Monday was what would have been Walt Disney's 110th birthday.  As we shouldn't have to note at this point, without Walt's vision and his willingness to dream, none of this would be possible, and we certainly wouldn't be here blogging about it  Monday's picture was in his honor.  We have a lot of fun with these every week, so make sure you stop by each and every Monday to participate with us.  Guess correctly, and you'll find your name posted on our blog come Tuesday morning!


In this week's "Almost" Wordless Wednesday, we took readers along with us through one of our favorite attractions, and buildings, in Disneyland on a little tour of Disneyland history in the Disneyland Opera House


On Thursday, we released another episode of our Disneyland podcast, the Days in the ParkCast.  This week's episode was one of our shorter, mini-episodes known as our "Banzai!" podcasts.  In it, we discuss Mickey's Halloween Party (which we attended in October) and give you our thoughts about this one-of-a-kind annual event; what we experienced, and what you can expect to experience should you attend.  It was a lot of fun to talk about, and a lot of fun to listen to we think.  Come on by and give us a listen!


And finally on Friday, Chad hopped back on board for his monthly ride around the blogging world aboard the Magical Blogorail Blue Line.  This month, we're talking the #1 Disney experience we've yet to experience but would love to do one day.  Chad's choice?  Walt Disney's apartment, of course!  So come on by, read what he had to say on the matter, and then check out all of the other wonderful writers along the rail and see what they chose as their #1 Disney experience wish.




We didn't get to do as much as wanted this week, but we're really proud of everything that we did!  Walt Disney's birthday is very important to us, for obvious reasons, and we think it made an excellent choice for our Monday guessing game, and it segued perfectly into our "Almost" Wordless Wednesday.  We've also been working really hard on our podcast over the past few weeks, and there are two new episodes out for our listeners.  These are so much fun for us to do, and we hope that people enjoy them as much as we enjoy doing them.  It's so much fun to just grab a mic and start blathering away about something that we love so much.  If you haven't taken the time to listen in it, we'd love to have you give us a try!  You can listen to, or download, our show on our "Parkcast" website: http://www.daysintheparkcast.com, or you can subscribe to our show and listen to us in iTunes.  Give us a listen and let us know what you think!  And on Friday, what's better than a Blogorail article?  We have so many wonderful Disney bloggers on each and every one of the Blogorail loops; why don't you check them out?  If you're here, you obviously love Disney and there are some fantastic ones there.  We encourage you to check them all out!

The Holidays are in full-swing at the Disneyland Resort, and so are we!  We can't wait to head out this weekend and score an entire new plethora of pictures and information for our readers.  It's something we love doing, and we hope that it enables you to come along with us during our Days and enjoy Disneyland right alongside us.  That's what we try to do, and we hope we're successful to at least some degree.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  It's going to be a great week, so come on back.  We love having you around!
