Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort 2017



A spell is cast during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort as more spooky fun expands into Disney California Adventure Park this year, from Friday, Sept. 15, through Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2017.

For the first time, Cars Land in Disney California Adventure will transform with a special Haul-O-Ween makeover as the citizens of Radiator Springs don Halloween costumes and decorate their respective homes for the season. Lightning McQueen, Mater, Cruz, Red and DJ will be all dressed up–as a super hero, a “van-pire,” a pirate, a clown and a punk rocker, ready to go “trunk-or-treating.” Attractions transform, too, with Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree turning spooky as the Graveyard JamBOOree, and Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters getting a seasonal twist to become Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.

At Disneyland, guests will enjoy frightfully fun thrills on popular Halloween attractions Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, along with themed foods and merchandise, plus spooky décor that includes a giant Mickey Mouse jack-o’-lantern and a Pumpkin Festival on Main Street, U.S.A. 

Guests are invited to dress in costume for Mickey’s Halloween Party where they will trick-or-treat throughout Disneyland for candy and healthy snacks. And this year, capturing memories during the party will be easier than ever as guests who have admission to Mickey’s Halloween Party will enjoy the added bonus of unlimited Disney PhotoPass.

Beginning July 24, Mickey’s Halloween Party Tickets* may be purchased by the public online and on mobile devices at http://Disneyland.com/party, as well as at the Disneyland Resort main gate and by phone at 714-781-4400  Make sure to buy your tickets early as they do sell out quick!  


**Highly recommend!  This is my absolute favorite event at Disneyland!**

LEAP!



Are you ready to take the leap?

Dare to dream big with the new trailer from The Weinstein Company's LEAP!, featuring Carly Rae Jepsen's hit song from the soundtrack, "Cut To The Feeling." Elle Fanning, Nat Wolff and Maddie Ziegler star alongside Mel Brooks, Kate McKinnon and Carly Rae Jepsen in the upcoming animated family comedy.

LEAP!
In Theaters Nationwide August 30th

11-year-old orphan, Félicie (Elle Fanning) has one dream - to go to Paris and become a dancer. Her best friend Victor (Nat Wolff), an imaginative but exhausting boy with a passion for creating, has a dream of his own - to become a famous inventor. In a leap of faith, Victor and Félicie leave their orphanage in pursuit of their passions. But - there's a catch, Félicie must pretend to be the child of a wealthy family in order to gain admittance to the prestigious and competitive Opera Ballet School in Paris. And with no professional dance training, she quickly learns that talent alone is not enough to overcome the ruthless, conniving attitudes of her fellow classmates, led by the devious Camille Le Haut (Maddie Ziegler). Determined to succeed, Félicie finds her mentor in the tough and mysterious school custodian, Odette (Carly Rae Jepsen) who, along with Victor's encouraging friendship, help her reach for the stars.

JULY 6th

Heritage Park is the largest multi-use sports complex in the Las Vegas Valley.  Surly the Squirrel will make an appearance at the park’s indoor aquatic center on Thursday, July 6 at 7:30pm where the park will be showing the original, THE NUT JOB.   Surly will meet and greet with kids before the movie begins and will also interact with children while they participate in on-site craft activities.


THE NUT JOB 2: NUTTY BY NATURE – August 11, 2017
In NUT JOB 2, Surly Squirrel (Will Arnett) and the gang are back. We are once again in Oakton where the evil mayor has decided to bulldoze Liberty Park and build a dangerous amusement park in its place. Surly and his ragtag group of animal friends band together to save their home, defeat the mayor, and take back the park. NUT JOB 2 also features the voice talent of Katherine Heigl (The Nut Job), Jackie Chan (Kung Fu Panda 3), Peter Stormare (Penguins of Madagascar), Bobby Cannavale (Ant-Man), Isabela Moner (Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life), and Maya Rudolph (The Angry Birds Movie).


Pinot's Palette



Are you running out of things to keep the kids busy this summer? Pinot's Palette invited our family over for an afternoon of painting to experience the new craze.  Our daughter was super excited and my son, well, let's just say he didn't complain!  As soon as we walked in I was absolutely blown away! You remember that feeling when you were a kid walking into a huge toy store and just in awe?  That was it!  The entire place just popped, it was full of color, creativity and smiles.  We picked the painting we wanted to paint, got our colors, apron and took our seats ready to paint!  

They give you instructions on a sheet of paper, very easy to follow, even for the kids.  The paint brushes were numbered and the paint was given on a paper plate with every color you would need to create your masterpiece.  I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the kids, painting and expressing our creativity.  My son had even made a comment that it was so relaxing that he could do it all day!  There were a few places where the kids seemed to get stuck a bit, but there was always an employee walking around to assist.  In the picture to the right, you can see they were drawing a chalk outline for her to follow as she painted.  That helped her extremely!

I know during summer without a doubt it can be hard to keep the kids busy and you sure don't want them sitting around the house all day!  One reason I think we enjoyed it more was that it was something different.  Something new and not our same old routine.  I highly recommend a family day at Pinot's Palette!  Even if you're a little hesitant like I was, it will not disappoint!

Prior to the game, the D-backs, Chase and Building Homes for Heroes will present Army Specialist and Purple Heart Recipient Alexis Jacquez Gamez with the keys to a newly remodeled mortgage-free home in Sun City during a special recognition on the field. In addition, Major Dan Rooney, founder of Folds of Honor, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch and proceeds from the D-backs 50-50 Raffle that night will benefit Folds of Honor. Folds of Honor provides educational support to spouses and children of fallen and/or disabled service members. 

The D-backs will host Military Appreciation Day on Sunday, July 2 and will honor all military active duty, reserve, retired and veterans from past, present and future. As part of Military Appreciation Day, the D-backs will recognize veterans who represent the past; Fry’s Food Stores and the USO will treat more than 200 military members and their families from Fort Huachuca to represent the present as part of Fry’s Diamond Days; and the future will be represented by a U.S. Army Oath of Enlistment ceremony of 50 soldiers on the field prior to the game. 

D-backs players and on-field personnel will wear specially-designed Stars & Stripes uniforms and caps on Saturday and Sunday. The game-worn gear will be available for purchase at D-backs Authentics (section 134) beginning July 7, with net proceeds benefitting the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation.
