Good day, once again time for another special edition of “In the Parks”. While Friday is my regular day to appear at MiceAge, additional columns are offered if news/photos warrant.

(Note, there are NO April Fool’s Jokes in this column, there are some other choices at the MiceAge front page if you are looking for that).

This will be the second “special” this week, as last Saturday we ran my photos and thoughts regarding the new “Celebrate – A Street Party”. If you missed...

More photos coming!


OK folks, the newest "event" at Disneyland premiered yesterday. And it is NOT a parade, but for many folks, they will love the "Street Party".

"Celebrate - A Street Party" had its big premiere Friday at 3:30, and will be offered for the next few weeks twice a day at 3:30 and 6:30 PM (On off-seasons weekdays, it will be offered once at 7 PM).

The park was surprisingly busy with Disneyland even closing...

Running Late, photos are being added currently... SORRY!

FREE FOOD ALERT!!!

Mimi's Cafe on Harbor (across the street from Howard Johnson's Anaheim Plaza Hotel) is giving away $3,000 in FREE Gift Cards on Tuesday, March 31st. The cards (which will vary in amount, they will hand out 75 of them, must be 18 or older to qualify), of course, the line will form prior to 9 AM, but if you are in the area, this is a great deal.

The reason Mimi's on Harbor is handing...

Good day, and welcome to March Madness, which isn't just the NCAA/NIT Basketball Tournaments, it is also Spring Break crowds at the parks, plus this weekend is when the major Coaster Enthusiasts show up from out of town to visit Knott's and Six Flags Magic Mountain. (Heck, the weather out here is really nice!).

A quick reminder regarding Disneyland and parking, the crowds are the heaviest on Fridays and Sundays in regards to parking (aka Locals/AP holders), so be prepared to be sent...

Happy Friday the 13th!

Lots of news this week, including the announcement of a new "official" Disney Fan website, and we do welcome them into the mix, but on the other hand, there is a lot more than "Just" Disney in entertainment, and will be focusing on that this week.

Warning, more commentary than usual this week....

Also, alas, no free food offers this week either. But I hope you had a chance to get free Jack In The Box and/or Arby's...
