Leaving The Grid on Flying Tires - ParkCast #10

In this episode, we’re going back in time and revisiting some character information from a previous episode as Mark got to meet one of his “goofy” heroes.  We’re also bidding a fond farewell to some of our favorite Disneyland spots, and looking FORWARD to a few more.  And the debate over the Dole Whip and the Mint Julep rages on as we discuss that timeless question: “Can a beverage be an attraction”?  Lastly, Mark gets his day in the spotlight as we finally reveal one of his favorite, and a very personal, Mickey in our Hidden Mickey segment.  So pull up your chair and sit a spell; we’ll all be happy that you did!

In this episode, we're introducing a whole new podcast segment!  Well, wholly new for our podcast anyway, as we invite a guest to sit down in the Days in the Park studios with us (all the way from New Hampshire, no less) to join in on the fun.  In this month's show, which we've dubbed our very first "ChatCast", we sit down with Beth Doda, the lady behind the great Disney blog and website, Pursuing the Magic and The Magical Blogorail, to talk all about her love for Disney, and how she got her start as a Disney blogger.  We had a great time just chatting her up about all manner of Disney blog, and Walt Disney World, related topics so pull up your chair, sit a spell, and join us for all of the fun!  We'll all be happy that you did!

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!

Days in the Park Week in Review (12/12 - 12/17)

We feel like we had a pretty productive week here at Days in the Park!  Take a look at what we had going on this week!

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 featured a very special "little" lady from the Paradise Pier area of Disney California Adventure Park.  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 a stroll around The Park recently and shared some of our favorite pictures from the trip, both from the Holidays at Disneyland and not

And finally on Friday, we reviewed one of our favorite books about Disneyland, Steven M. Barrett's Disneyland's Hidden Mickeys: A Field Guide to Disneyland Resort's Best Kept Secrets - 3rd Ed.  We love the entire Hidden Mickey phenomenon that takes place at all of the Disney properties, and consider ourselves avid Hidden Mickey hunters, so it was an honor to be asked to review it.  Come on by and find out what we thought about this "little yellow treasure" and see what the Hidden Mickey phenomenon is all about for yourselves!

---

Although we didn't post every day this week (we're discovering more and more as we go on that if we can't, we need to just let it go), we were very busy behind the scenes working on some pretty darn cool things for our readers, some of which will rear their heads at you this very week!  Our Magical Mystery Mondays continue to do well, and we continue to have lots of people stop by to take a look and guess at our spots.  Guess we need to find more spots.  Wednesday are always a lot of fun for as well, as we get to share with you from the plethora (do you know what a plethora is?) of pictures we take every time we go into Disneyland.  This week's was great because we had some of the kidlets along, and they got to help us choose as well!  Everyone loves a good pictures!  And Friday's book review, a first on this blog, was a lot of fun to do.  If you haven't read it yet, go check it out!  We love Hidden Mickeys (you'll hear more about that this week!) so it was an honor to be asked to do it.  Great fun! 

Good things coming this week!  Like we said, we have more coming about our love of Hidden Mickeys, so be sure to hang around and check that out.  There might even be a surprise (or two!) inside.  Hint Hint.  We're also working hard on our ParkCast (podcast) and have a new episode we'll be dropping this week, as well as sitting down to record our very special Christmas episode, where we'll deal with all things Disneyland during the Holiday season.  We have lots of guests lined up and some cool things coming, so we hope that you'll stay tuned for that!  If you haven't taken the time to start listenign to us yet 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!

It's Christmas week!  Which means busy, busy, busy!  We might not be able to post as much as we'd like over the next couple of weeks due to family and church obligations, but we hope that what we do post will be a lot of fun for our readers, and will keep you coming back for more!

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

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!

Forget Christmas in July; It's Halloween in December! - Days in the ParkCast Banzai #2

Hangin' with the Pumpkin King

You’ve heard of Christmas in July?  Well, since it’s actually Christmas month now (December), we’re celebrating Halloween instead!  In this special Banzai episode of the ParkCast, we’re travelling back in time to October 21, 2011 to relive a special Day in the Park at Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland.  Come along with us as we take a walk down memory lane (or Main Street U.S.A. if you prefer) and talk about all of the wonderfully creepy and fantastic things this one-of-a-kind Halloween Party at the Happiest Place on Earth has to offer.

Pull up a chair, sit a spell, and listen along; we’ll be happy you did!  You can listen to our ParkCast on the Days in the ParkCast website or in iTunes!

Days In The ParkCast Episode 1 Is Live!

Well, the day is finally here!  We've been hard at work over the past week or so getting our first show/podcast ready, and we're pretty excited about it!  And when we say first show, we mean it literally.  We went into this when we recorded a week ago with nothing but a microphone and recording software, and nothing else; no experience whatsoever.  We think we've had a pretty good showing for our first time out, but you'll have to be the judge of that.
