Odds And Ends: Weekly Cap-Off (7/25-7/31)

It's been a busy week here at Days In The Park!  We're fully back in the groove of things now that our blog redesigns are done, and we only missed Tuesday this week!  Not sure how we did miss that one day, but we'll just have to assume something must have been going on and we'll have to make it up to you guys this week.  Just to recap:

On Monday, 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 came courtesy of the Greetings From California store in Disney California Adventure.  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!


Wednesday,we celebrated a Park birthday for our "Almost" Wordless Wednesday when our very own M.J. turned "The Big 9"


On Thursday,we were back with our weekly article about our Vinylmation collecting with a "Vinylmation of the Week" piece; this week highlighting Janice from the Muppets Series #2


We were blog hopping on Friday with our friend at Magical Days With The Mouse, highlighting another fond Days In The Park memory; this week's featuring some of the Days In The Park Kiddies


And lastly, on Saturday, we spent some time talking about another one of our "Favorite Things" to partake of in The Parks, the Mint Julep




It should be a really good week at Days In The Park!  We'll be recording Episode 7 of our Days In The Park podcast which we're really looking forward to.  Our show is doing really well these days with quite a few people listening in, and we think we have another great set of topics to talk about in this one.  We'll be recording and editing this week so we can get it out quickly, so be on the lookout for it.  We also have some pretty cool articles coming!  Mark is busy writing an article about one of our favorite Park treasures from the Main Street Candy Palace (and it's not candy!), and we have a new video coming we shot on one of our favorite little attractions we want to share.  Plus, we'll be back with our regular segments so be sure to tune in for our "Magical Mystery" Mondays, "Almost" Wordless Wednesdays, and come back to hop with us for our "Disney Flashback" Friday.

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

Magical Mystery Mondays! - Where Are We?

It's Monday and you know what that means!  Well, you do if you read our blog anyways.  Time to challenge you on your Park knowledge and see if you're actually paying attention to all of the cool things surrounding you.

We don't think that today's is too hard if you spend time at The Park regularly, and we think it shouldn't be too hard to deduce where it might be even if you've never seen this sign before, so let the guessing begin!

Do you know where we took this picture?


If you think you know where it is, let us know!  Leave us a comment here (probably the best way to do it), send us a Direct Message on our Twitter account @DaysInThePark, or drop us an email at daysinthepark@daysinthepark.com; that way your answer isn't thrown out where everyone can see it and more people get a chance to guess.  We like to keep it going as long as we can and give everyone a shot!

We'll be back tomorrow morning to post up all the people who guessed correctly and give you the spot where this was taken.

Have fun, don't take it too seriously, and let the guesses fly!



We're back!  Yesterday was a pretty good day with our little game.  We got several guesses on our picture and quite a few people participating which is a really fun thing for us!

This particular shot can be found inside the Greetings From California store in Sunshine Plaza at Disney California Adventure.

As always, we like to throw a little shout-out to those who actually did get the correct answer and "win" if you will.  This week's batch had some new stars, so we get to put some all new names up.  Sweet!  They were, in order of correct guess and by Twitter name:
  • JasonTucker
  • Vicki_Icesocks
  • ChevyBurnz
  • JenTucker
And that's it for this week!  We'll be back next week with another picture for you guys to take a crack at. Meantime, if you have any spots that you know of that you would like for us to use, let us know!  You can contact us and have us take a picture of your spot ourselves (and credit you with the idea, of course!), or feel free to drop us a line at daysinthepark@daysinthepark.com if you have a picture for us that we can use.

Thanks for playing along with us!  And always keep your peepers open for those "little details".  You never know what you might see.
