Holidays at the Disneyland Resort 2015

ByKimberly w/Get Away Today

Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. Today marks the official beginning of Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, and since so many families visit during this magical time of year, I thought it would be fun to share all that’s going on. If you’ve been before, you should know that this year will be different than previous years because it’s also the Diamond Celebration. This is the ONLY year where the holidays and Diamond Celebration will happen at the same time, so it’s one not to miss. Here’s an overview of what’s different, what’s the same, and what’s new:

It is so much fun to share a Disney related craft each month, but it seems like lately the universe is buzzing with just one thing… Star Wars! With the new movie coming out right before Christmas and Star Wars Season of the Force coming to Disneyland in just a few weeks, I knew I had to make something that celebrated the two.

This year has been extra special as the Diamond Celebration kicked off over Memorial Day weekend. With the changes, some of the seasonal celebrations have had some tweaks this year, which means that the holidays (both Halloween and Christmastime) are going to be unlike any other year at Disneyland. The Disneyland Resort also made some exciting new surprises. See what’s in store!

Cinderella Dress Makeover (she: Adelle)

ByAdelle Belnap

Just like the Disneyland Resort got a dazzling transformation for the Diamond Celebration, the classic Cinderella got a pretty incredible makeover! And with Halloween right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to pretend I’m a Fairy Godmother and transform our classic Cinderella play dress into the modern version with beautiful butterfly accents. Luckily, you won’t need a magic wand to for this Cinderella dress makeover. All you need is an hour of time and a few craft supplies. Can you say Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo?

ByAdelle Belnap

We are in the midst of summer and that means I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! One of my favorite treats ever since growing up have been Mickey Mouse ice cream bars. I used to get them when the ice cream van would make its way through my neighborhood. Now we get them each time we visit Disneyland as a family. Because I believe in Disney magic at home, I figured out a fun and easy way to make our own Mickey Mouse ice cream bars.

Where Not to Buy Disneyland Tickets (she: Kimberly)

ByKimberly w/Get Away Today

Each year during the busy travel season, we hear stories firsthand from families who bought Disneyland tickets for what they thought was a great deal, but then find out they were scammed. And that is NO fun at all. With that said, I thought it would be good time to warn families about where not to buy Disneyland tickets for their summer vacation – just to be safe.
