2018 Disneyland Egg-stravaganza

Howdy Partner! Time to finish out this here egg scavenger hunt around Disneyland. Let's go!

First we need a map.

Followed by some stickers.

Lead on Ian. Where to first?

Outside The Mad Hatter's shop, Alli was already spotting eggs and rabbits.

The White Rabbit, perched on the signage.

Getting that sticker in place to show we found it.

Our next egg took us to the Disneyana store. After searching the outside, first room, and then second room, we still came up empty. The third room had Pluto, and boy was he hiding well. You had to come all the way in to see him.

Tucked back up into the corner.

Over to the Emporium, we wandered around the main store looking high, low, and everywhere in between. Only when we went into the back section did we find Tinker Bell hiding.

Found you.

Over to the Little Green Men shop, where Ian found Mickey hiding next to a Little Green Man.


And then to Le Petit Chalet to find our next egg. Ian was wondering who that egg was. I suppose Mr Toad isn't a ride we typically go on, is it?


A sharp eyed Ian spotted Goofy on top of the Toontown Train Depot.


And it sure was tight to navigate, but we eventually found our way to Bonanza Outfitters and found Thumper behind the banister.


The Stage Door Cafe was next. Minnie was watching everything below from the porch.


Our next egg location was for "A New Orleans Square Balcony". There's lots of balconies around here, but Alli spotted Daisy as soon as we got close.


I don't even know how Ian saw this one when he did. We had just walked by the entrance to the Haunted Mansion when he said "Donald!" and pointed this direction.

According to Google Maps, that's almost 200 feet away! And while T and I knew it was at the Harbor Galley, he certainly didn't. I'm doubly impressed!



Staring into the sun, we could just make out Dale in the crows next to Tarzan's Treehouse.


And by the Bengal Barbecue, Chip was hiding on a balcony.


Nice work you two! You solved all three scavenger hunts!

Alli admiring the last egg prize. We got her Belle.

For quite a while now, Ian has been wanting to do the Disney Shooting Gallery. Today we finally did it, and our hats match the theme. We're all wearing hats for people who would be good with guns. Alli is wearing a Gaston hat from WDW. Ian is wearing a Goofy cowboy hat from Disneyland Paris. And while I do have a Disneyland Coonskin cap, it's a little small. Instead I have my original coonskin hat from when I was little.

The guns are pretty heavy for a little kid. With some help from mommy and daddy, we manage to shoot some birds, spiders, tombstones, bottles, and more.

Ian had a good time, but boy did he have a heavy trigger finger. He was a little machine gun when he really wanted to hit something, rattling off 5-6 shots in a couple seconds.


To finish our day, we popped over to California Adventure. From the Food and Wine booths, we sampled a strawberry ice cream float. This is actually a returning item from last year, and it's one of my favorites.

It's been months that T has been looking for the pull-apart bread from Sonoma Terrace. Finally today she found it!

Two flavors even! A spicy jalapeño cheddar that had a nice kick to it. And a regular cheddar sourdough. For $4 each, I'd say that's not too bad of a deal considering it's Disney.

We all had a lot of fun finding eggs and exploring the park! Count us in for next years Egg-stravaganza!

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 2

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Ready to head to the apple orchards? By staying overnight nearby, we were able to get an early start to the day and arrive right when the orchards opened on Saturday. The drive in to Oak Glen was quiet and peaceful. There was even one stretch were we saw deer amongst the apple trees eating their breakfast. Having read multiple reviews ahead of time, it was clear that this was going to be a madhouse later in the day. According to everything I read, Oak Tree Village opened up at 8am. I thought getting there around 8:30am would give everyone a little time to get set up. But when we arrived, it was like a ghost town. There's lots of shops stalls, but nothing is really open yet. Looking around for anything to do, at the back of the village we found a pen with chickens, a duck, a peacock, and some pigeons. And right there by the pen was a vending machine for corn feed. Ian asked if he could have money for it, but sorry buddy, I don't carry coins. Ian sud

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 1

It's the weekend! This year we're not going to get the chance to fly to Michigan to visit the apple orchards there. Theresa was still really wanting to go and the kids have been getting really excited about picking apples so Theresa found a place relatively close by and made it happen! Welcome to Oak Glen! Just a 2 hour drive from our house, this mountain community had its first apple orchards planted all the way back in 1867. Now home to over 30 different orchards, this 5 mile loop is affectionately known as Apple Country. After Ian got out of school, everyone piled in the car and headed for the hotel T booked. We're making it a 2 day event, staying the night in between so we can get an early start in the morning. After checking in and getting up to our rooms, Ian was very happy to find a quarter (remember this one, it'll come back later). Time to head to our first orchard! Snow-Line Orchard has been in production since 1898. I was really happy to come on a Friday. It

Alli takes on more 40" rides at Disneyland

It's been a full weekend already, spending 2 days in Oak Glen California visiting apple orchards, but we're not done yet. Weekends are perfect for a Disneyland visit. I love seeing all the different Halloween decorations, plus Alli just turned 40" tall so she's got lots of brand new things she can ride. Hats this week continue the Nightmare Before Christmas theme from last week. From left to right, we've got a Jack Skellington style top-hat from Disneyland years ago. Next is Jack Skellington bursting out of a pumpkin which I think was offered last year at Disneyland. Then there's a Scary Teddy hat, followed by a Santa Jack hat complete with beard. Both parks open today at 8am. At 8:05 we were in a long line of cars trying to enter the parking structure, and by 8:45 we had made it through security and were walking through Downtown Disney. I always opt to take the 1 mile walk from the parking garage to the entrance instead of dealing with the tram. One other &quo
