This WEEK at DAYS in the Park (1/23 - 1/28)

We had a great week here at Days in the Park!  We spent an absolutely wonderful day at Disneyland this past weekend where we took a few hours just to roam around and take pictures with the kiddies.  It's not often as of late that we've been so busy while at Disneyland, though!  We have so many things in the hopper that we're working on that our entire 6-hour jaunt was dedicated solely to our "tasks at hand".  But we had a lot of fun doing it, got a lot of great material to share on our blog (and some other blogs, too!), and we can't wait to get it out there!  Plus, this week was a good one on the blog, as well!  It's been quite some time since we had almost a  full week's worth of articles at the ready, but we did this week!  We hope that everyone enjoyed reading along with us, but in case you missed anything at all:

Monday, Chad ran off to play with our friend Beth at "Pursuing the Magic", with an article for her "In Pursuit of Pirates" series and a look at Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean attraction

On Tuesday, with Monday already taken, we were back with one our favorite weekly segments, "Where Are We? - Magical Mystery Mondays (Tuesday edition!) where we challenge our readers to guess, where, at Disneyland a particular picture was taken.  This weeks picture?  Fowler's Landing in Frontierland/New Orleans Square/Critter Country!

In this week's "Almost" Wordless Wednesday, we continue our "random ramblings" throughout the Disneyland Resort with pictures of King Triton's Carousel of the Sea, the Paradise Pier boardwalk, Disneyland mailboxes, Beaker, and more!

On Thursday, we introduced our brand new weekly segment where we're taking your questions (which we find from your Google searches), and answering them here on our blog in their own article.  This week's conundrum?  Are FASTPASSes good after their posted times?

And finally, on Friday, we're talking about our first foray into the world of RunDisney, and the beginning of our pursuit to participate in the Disneyland Half-Marathon during the final weekend in August

Like we said earlier, we're really excited to have been able to produce almost a full week's worth of articles for our readers; it really has been quite some time since we've been able to do that.  Things just got so crazy over the holidays, and throw in a little flu/bronchitis, etc. for good measure and honestly, it's a wonder we published things as often as we did.  But we're back on schedule now, and enjoying every minute of it!

We have some really neat things coming up inside Disneyland that we're working on for the blog.  We talked about our RunDisney adventure this week (and will continue to do so often in the future), we're finally going to talk a little bit about the "One More Disney Day" program, we have another book review coming from Mark (and maybe even a giveaway too - teaser!), and of course, we'll have our regular articles ready to go like our "Magical Mystery Mondays", "Random Ramblings with Days in the Park", and our "Disneyland Tips & Tricks Thursdays" based on questions from your web searches.

If you haven't already, we definitely want to encourage you to listen to the latest episode of our podcast, the Days in the ParkCast which we plan on releasing sometime in the next couple of days.  We have our friend Beth (from "Pursuing the Magic" and "The Magical Blogorail") on the show and it was truly special for us.  She is one fantastic lady and we are so fortunate to have met her when we did and she means the world to us.  It really was a privilege to have her sit down with us (on the other side of the country, no less!) and talk some Disney Magic.  Plus, we hint at a pretty exciting bit during the show, and you just might be hearing a lot more from Beth in the future as well and with more regularity; have we said too much?  If you haven't taken the time to start listening to us yet, we'd love to have you give us a try!  You can subscribe to our show and listen to us in iTunes, or you can listen to our show on our "ParkCast" website: http://www.daysintheparkcast.com.  Give us a listen and let us know what you think!  We'd love to hear back from you!

We can't wait to see what the next few weeks, and months, will bring to "Days".  Thanks so much for stopping by!  It's going to be a great week, so come on back.  We love having you around!
