I’ve always loved surprises. Back in the 80’s when I collected stickers, I can’t tell you how many “goodie bags” my mom bought me in the local sticker shop just because not knowing what was in there made it that much more exciting and enticing for me. I can’t say I’ve changed much since then – I still love mysteries where you get a prize in the end. So of course I love special things like the Pick a Pearl station in Japan’s Mitsukoshi store in Epcot. I still have the first pearl I got at a similar set-up in Silver Springs with my sister. I finally decided my kids should get to experience the fun so a little while back they got to pick their own pearls and see what awaited them inside.
Here’s how it works:

Hey Ferb, I know what we’re going to do today! Don’t we wish all our kids had no trouble entertaining themselves like Phineas and Ferb? I know I do. Well here’s something to keep them busy and have a chance to win some great prizes –
Disney.com is celebrating summer this year with all things Phineas and Ferb. Kids can stay entertained all summer long with their favorite Phineas and Ferb characters by building their own beach or carnival, checking out their favorite episodes and clips from the show, or by testing their knowledge of the show to earn online prizes with the Trivia-inator. Plus, starting this week, kids have the chance to win the ultimate summer vacation with Disney.com’s Phineas and Ferb Summer Vacation Sweepstakes. To enter, help Phineas and Ferb in their latest adventures by finding BigFoot in the forest, playing a carnival game, or by saving the fish from the giant squid.
Kids ages 6-16 will have the opportunity to win the grand prize of a trip of their choice to New York City, NY; Los Angeles, CA or Orlando, FL. Plus, a cool BMX bike will be given out every week of the sweepstakes. The three week sweepstakes will end on Aug. 6.
Kids can enter here, get the official rules and check out some Phineas and Ferb summer fun.
Check out some screen shots from the Phineas and Ferb site:
Now I can’t promise this won’t upset any big sisters in the family! Good luck and happy summer to all!
Apologies to anyone trying to access the site today. We had some issues with WordPress plug-ins and our hosting site. We are taking steps to insure that site does not go off to Neverland without us again. And now…straight on till morning!

You might know, if you are a friend or family, that it is not unusual for me to be wishing someone a belated birthday (I sometimes think the pixie dust has taken over the memory cells in my brain). I’m sure you do know, Disneyland Park celebrated its 55th Anniversary on July 17th. I did remember, I swear, but I really wasn’t going to post about it.
You see, I’ve sadly never been to Disneyland, so I have no memories of my own to share from there. I am hoping to change that soon (and if anyone wants to send my family there, we’ll be happy to oblige! 😉 ) because I do think it a sacrilege to have not experienced Walt’s original park and the history there. So rather than bore you with my talking about a place I’d never been, I was just going to let it go.
However, today I happened upon a video from someone who had taken their dad’s old 70’s movies of their visits to Disneyland and transferred them to video. She was apologizing for the quality of the film, but I saw it and thought it was perfect, even fitting in with the 55th Anniversary tagline of “the Happiest Memories on Earth“. Of course, the music helps to bring a nostalgic tear to your eye – even if you haven’t been there, being a fan of Disney parks can transcend location sometimes. I asked her permission to share the video here with all of you, in hopes you would enjoy and appreciate it as much as I do. It’s wonderful to see some now long-gone attractions captured in one family’s vacation. I know there are thousands of others out there with this same wonderful history, all thanks to Walt Disney.
So thank you, GrumpyCD for sharing your family’s Disneyland memories with us:
What are some of your favorite Disneyland memories? Or are you like me and you’re just waiting to create some?
In part one and part two of our Tom Sawyer Island pictorial review, we saw caves, mines, a fort and even a play area chock full of adventure. Today we conclude that adventure by visiting the final spots on the island.
When we left off, we were about to cross this barrel bridge to parts unknown, yes? As always, click to enlarge photos.

This week on the Meet Your Moms Panel series here in ZannaLand we are meeting a wonderful mom that started on the panel in 2009 – Cathy S! These informal interviews are meant to be a jumping off point from the bios that appear on the DisneyWorldMoms.com site where you can learn about every panelist’s background and experience with Walt Disney World, and see their personal videos as well. Once you check them out there, you can get to know the panelists a little better here!
The few times I’ve hung out with Cathy I’ve loved her sense of humor and personality. We’ve had a lot of fun on twitter too – she and Disney Dad Jonas are killer at 80’s movie quotes! I hope you enjoy getting to know her a little better –
