Memories at the Happiest Place on Earth

Today's post is dedicated to someone very special to me and I'm filling it with pictures of her favorite things at Disneyland!  I have so many wonderful memories at Disneyland with her, many more than I have time to write about today.  It's a joy to think back to the great times at Disneyland with my Mom!


Happy Birthday Mom!  I love you :)


My Mom's favorite character is Dopey!  If she's not at Disneyland with me I make sure to take a picture each and every time of him to bring back for her.  I have so many fond memories of when I was little of both my Mom and I yelling out to Dopey as loud as we could: "We love you Dopey!!" anytime we saw him in a parade or show.  It made the moment that much more special anytime we could get him to wave back to us!



Dear Dopey



This second Dopey picture is more of an "action shot" of him in the finale of Fantasmic! :)

Next up is a shot of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Christmastime!  My Mom and I both love to stand in front of the pretty castle at Christmastime and let the snow, or as we call it: "snoap" (snow+soap!) fall over us!  It's one of the prettiest sights to see at Disneyland and I'm so happy I've been able to share this sight with her!



Sleeping Beauty's Winter Wonderland



Our next picture reminds me of my Mom because she took the exact same shot back in the 80s before I was born!  This picture is stored safe in a scrapbook of mine but it inspired me to take the same shot now. I'll make sure sometime to scan it in and post both side by side!  It's neat to see the "then and now" of the same shot!



Doll Parade



Another fond memory I have of going to Disneyland with my Mom is that we always stop past the Enchanted Tiki Room to sing along with the birds!  From probably the time I was able to talk (or even before that) she started teaching me the song so I was able to sing along with her.  We still sing along even now and have a blast every time we do!



Tiki Room Tuesday! - Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing!



To finish off today's post I have a picture of my friend Erin, my Mom, and myself during our last trip to Disneyland!  Can you tell we coordinated the "red shirt day"? :)



Morning in the Hub



Again, have a very happy birthday Mom!  I love you :)
