Summer Endastic, Los Angeles, and Hollywood's Newest Shrine. This TR is Legally Long!

All photos can be viewed in their original, large format on my DisneyColor flickr account.

[[(skip to Celebrity wax figures)]]

Summer has gone out with a bang. With the end of Summer Nightastic comes my 16th Birthday and we all know what that means.


Free money at the Disneyland Resort!

Throughout the day I spent about $65 of the $72 I was granted on my favorite Disney collectible - Vinylmations.

I was on a mission to collect as many designs as possible as I snapped some shots for MiceChat to enjoy. My mom was picking me up at 3PM sharp so I had to hustle in order to accomplish my agenda.


Good morning Mickey!


The once bald trees surrounding Snow White's Grotto now present themselves covered in Pink blossoms.


Good morning Matterhorn!



These rocks look sort of funny...


I always wanted to get a picture of the tea party and castle in the background, so here it is, finally!



Mickey likes to bathe in morning sunlight with his pants and shoes on.


The first roller coaster I've ever been on.



Toontown's harvest...



Somebody forgot to paint this one red...


I would stand clear before you pop toontown popcorn....


What happens when gods get angered at all the celebrating...


I decided to pay a visit to Sally May. She recently shaved her chest.


Oopss... shouldn't have said that...


I love when Disneyland advertises stuff that is FREE (besides park admission). I love the Mark Twain.


The grim grinning ghosts got bored in the graveyard...


Before I made my way over to DCA, this lady at the Star Trader shop kindly gave me my Birthday button. I hadn't known where to get it before and was pleasantly surprised that the shop carried them.

She was quite possibly the nicest CM I've ever met.

"I love it when there's an 'i' in the name!"


I want the rest of my life to be just like my high school musical!!


To anyone who claimed there was no Nightastic merchandise, guess again! Disney is so much better than that!

[/sarcasm]

By this time it was getting late so I decided to quickly head back to Disneyland and get a nice shot of the Fairy Godmother. She is such a sweet lady. She was delighted when I asked her to pose for me .


3PM was steadily approaching, meaning we had to hit the rode for Hollywood to see a play with more pink than your eyes can handle.


Part 2 coming soon!

Those pics are seriously gorgeous - I especially love the one of the Mattherhorn tracks, the lighting is amazing! What kind of camera do you use?

Welcome to Hollywood!



The walk of fame was covered with creepy creatures, including Darth himself.

Some of the stars...

RIP Jett Travolta


And RIP king of pop



Now onto the Chinese Theater where stars of the early 20th century can still be remembered through hand and shoe prints.









Katy Perry has dominated the Roosevelt Hotel...



Snow White is coming to the El Capitan!



By the time we checked into our room at the Renaissance Hotel we were greeted by this amazing view of the Hollywood Hills.



Marilyn Monroe played Big Brother on us...



The time had finally come! We took a cab to the beautiful Pantages theater to see none other than...



Legally Blonde the Musical!

The theater is absolutely breathtaking.





The show was absolutely amazing, of course. I can honestly say Becky Gulsvig does Elle "so much better" than Laura Bell Bundy (original Broadway Elle Woods)

Afterwards we quickly ran to the stage door to get our autographs from the cast. Here's a few shots I got in the process.

Becky Gulsvig (Elle Woods)



Jeff McLean (Warner Huntington III)



MTV's search for the next Elle Woods Rhiannon Hansen (Margot)



Mamie Parris (Paulette understudy)



Sorority girls



The Judge



And last but not least, Spencer Howard (swing)



Next up - Madame Tussauds!

Part 3 coming soon!

(sorta): I will, hopefully, be seeing Legally Blonde in a couple weeks (I have to talk to my friend, who is getting the tickets, and see if she has them yet) and I'm so excited! Becky is so much better than LBB, eh?! Hard to believe, LBB is wonderful.


On-topic: Very nice pictures. Preeeettyyyyy.

One woman is of flesh while the other is of wax.

This can only mean one thing - welcome to Madame Tussauds!



Prepare to have your mind play horrible tricks on you.



She is VERY short "in person"


Me and Carrie are about the same height.



Zach was sporting a slick haircut.



Britney Spears in her 2008 VMA dress.



I found her staring at me from across the room.



I'm sorry ladies, you can't take this home.





Jenny from the block.



Beyonce doing her Single Ladies jig.



The second floor was a trip back in time.





















The Godfather!



So seductive!



Time for some sexy action/adventure!











He may be wax but he's still intimidating. Yikes!



Unlike this angel.



Steven Spielberg



Kobe doing a Kobe!!!



Governor of California.



And more famous faces...









Well, that's all folks! Thanks for reading my trip report and be sure to leave a comment!

I love the wax museum! I was wondering how much one would cost should they ever be sold. Some of them sparked my interest ahem...
