Disneyland 2011

It started as a typical Pleasanton morning. Then I was called downstairs. I was told we were going to Disneyland. It was the best weather we had there since our 2004 trip. Here are some highlights from a busy couple of days.

That's all for now! Be sure to check back for photos from Discovery Kingdom's Holiday in the Park.

My Favorite Disney Movies- Part 2

Here's the rest of my favorite Disney movies.

Pocahontas (1995): American native girl Pocahontas meets English captain John Smith and they fall in love. The relations between the natives and the Jamestown settlers are strained when Smith takes responsibility for a death of a tribesman.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996): Victor Hugo's tale of Quasimodo, banished to a life in the belltower of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. The hunchback falls in love with Esmeralda, a gypsy girl, whom is also the desire of evil Minister Frollo.

Hercules (1997): Hercules, part God, part mortal, sets out to prove himself a hero, much to the dismay of Hades. With the help of Phil (a satyr, his trainer) and love-interest Meg, Hercules battles numerous demons and becomes a star.

Mulan (1998): Based on a Chinese folk tale, a daring young girl risks everything by joining the army disguised as a man, in place of her ailing father.

Tarzan (1999): Based on the story by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan, raised by apes in African jungle, meets female counterpart and battles human and animal foes.


Bolt (2008): Bolt, a German Shepherd, has lived his whole life on the set of his action TV show, where he believes he has superpowers. When separated from the studio by accident, he learns that dealing with the real world is not quite as simple as he thought.



The Princess and the Frog (2009): A fairy tale centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana who lives in New Orleans' French Quarter during the Jazz Age.
