disneyland: Happy 68th Birthday Disneyland July 17, 2023 - 07/12/23 08:13 PM
Happy 68th Birthday to "The Happiest Place on Earth" Disneyland!  On July 17, 1955 the first theme park named for founder Walt Disney officially opened in Anaheim, California. Some of Walt's famous welcoming words from the opening day statement still echo throughout the park. They are posted on brass plaques at the entrance, while others are broadcast in Morse Code  from the New Orleans Train Station. 
"To those who come to this Happy Place, Welcome!" 
Walt Disney's revolutionary idea of a family-friendly amusement park was scoffed at by most folks as an ambitious folly. Executives at Anheuser-Busch flat out told Walt … (8 comments)

disneyland: Happy Birthday December 5 to Walt Disney! - 12/03/22 10:06 PM
December 5 is the birthday of Walt Disney, the late creative genius behind animated classics such as Snow White and Cinderella as well as Disneyland. 
The Walt Disney Family Museum at the former Presidio in San Francisco, is a great place to learn about the man behind the myth. In addition to the main galleries and special exhibitions, a classic Disney film can be viewed for an extra fee. To commemorate this special occasion, the Museum will host a number of exciting activities throughout the month that highlight Walt’s life, work, and legacy. Happy Birthday, Walt!

disneyland: Happy 65th Birthday Disneyland July 17 From Far, Far Away - 07/15/20 09:08 PM
Happy 65th Birthday Disneyland! Sadly, I am sending this birthday wish from what feels like far, far away as Disneyland remains closed in the plague year of 2020 due to efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19. On July 17, 1955 the first theme park named for founder Walt Disney officially opened in Anaheim, California. Some of Walt's famous welcoming words from the opening day statement still echo throughout the park. Some can be seen posted on brass plaques at the entrance, while others are "heard" in Morse Code broadcasting from the New Orlands Train Station.

disneyland: Happy 64th Birthday to Disneyland July 17 - 07/17/19 04:52 PM
On July 17, 1955 the famous theme park is dedicated and opened by founder Walt Disney in Anaheim, California. Scoffed at as an ambitious folly, Walt's dream has since become "The Happiest Place on Earth" to millions.
 
On that first day, many things went wrong. The asphalt hadn't had time to properly cure and ladies found their high heeled pumps sinking into the black goo. Walt had to make hard choice between water fountains and bathrooms. He wisely chose bathrooms. (Water fountains were soon hooked up.) Thousands of fake tickets were distributed, resulting in overwhelming crowds. And of course, many rides … (6 comments)

disneyland: I Survived 118 Degree Heat at Disneyland July 8, 2018! - 07/09/18 01:57 PM
I Survived 118 Degree Heat at Disneyland July 8, 2018! 
by Disneyland Annual Passholder
Many folks consider visiting Disneyland and California Adventure in Anaheim, California during summer vacation. Here are some pros and cons to help survive the recent extreme heat wave.
Pros of visiting Disneyland in 118 degree heat:
1) Fewer visitors attend either Disneyland or California Adventure, making the Parks less crowdesd. Also most fellow park visitors are die-hard Disney fans.
2) The lower attendee count results in shorter ride and attraction lines. People literally just "walked on" to Pirates of the Caribbean. Other popular ride line waits were 15 minutes or less.
3) Refillable drink … (4 comments)

Halloween is the Time to Meet Jack Skellington and Sally at Disneyland
By Cupertino REALTOR
Michelle Carr Crowe
Everyone has their special favorite Disney characters. If someone favors characters such as Jack Skellington and his girlfriend Sally, Halloween is the time to find and meet them-even ask for autographs and photos like the family photo here!
Naturally the best place to find Jack and Sally is near their home-the Haunted Mansion ride. Disneyland re-creates the Haunted Mansion into the Nightmare Before Christmas during the fall for their "Spooky Celebration" pre-Halloween through New Year's Day.
Thanks for reading about "Halloween is the Time to Meet Jack … (0 comments)

Who can forget that magical song, "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers?" 
"The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers  
 
is Tiggers are Wonderful Things
Their tops are made out of Rubber
Their bottoms are made out of Springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, pouncy, flouncy
Full of fun, fun, fun
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is
I'm the only one!"

Sunday He Was Discharged From Physical Rehab, On Wednesday-Disneyland
by San Jose REALTOR Michelle Carr Crowe
Many of you know about my husband's recent series of healthcare crises-a heart attack, two surgeries, then two strokes in the past few months.
Yet we had a big goal to go to Disneyland for our anniversary. We prayed a lot. I drove the whole way there and back (usually he drives).
Steve was discharged from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center Sunday and Wednesday we celebrated our twenty-fifth anniversary in Disneyland. I definitely recommend renting scooters!

3 Fun Freebies at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure
By Michelle Carr Crowe, Santa Clara County home selling expert
We all know a family vacation to Disneyland is expensive, but did you know there are actually quite a few fun and free things you can have or do in Disneyland and/or California Adventure, both located in beautiful Southern California? It's true.
Several of my clients reward their families with a Disneyland vacation once we sell their Silicon Valley homes, whether they are San Jose homes, Cupertino properties or Saratoga estates. It can be a great way to relax and celebrate success together.

Save $220 with Kodak Contest
By Michelle Carr-Crowe, Lynbrook & Cupertino Schools Expert
If I won the ActiveRain 'I could save $220 with Kodak' Contest, I have four things I would do:
•1)      Take $100 in $1 bills and do a "money tree" experiment
•2)      Give an extra $1 to each person who actually "picks" a dollar off of the tree with printed instructions (on my new Kodak printer of course) to give the second dollar away.
•3)      $19 for lunch for me and the people who help me set up and film the project!
•4)      Take 100 pennies and give … (0 comments)

An Honest Gardener Named Jose Acosta Made My Thanksgiving Holiday
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
"Where did I put it?" For hours, I'd been searching the usual places I set my REALTOR® photo ID card and badge holder necklace which also holds my professional identification, debit and credit cards-my desk, my charging station, the car, and next to my bed. No luck.
I was supposed to be packing for our annual family reunion Thanksgiving trip to Disneyland but the mounting anxiety prevented me from moving forward. I kept fussing and double-checking the same places, and then looking in odd ones-my library book … (5 comments)
