Horsing Around in Circle D

Horsing Around in Circle D

*I was recently part of a fun Blog Swap, where some of the lovely ladies from the SoCal Lady Blogger Group decided that we would see what it was like to blog in someone else’s shoes. You will see my post about Grace posted up on Megan’s blog, Sunshine Wonderland in the near future. Mindy from Budget Fairy Tale was chosen to guest post for me. The most obvious thing I could think of to ask Mindy to write about for me was about horses, given that’s part of my blog’s name and something I felt wouldn’t be too difficult to ask someone to write about. Well, Mindy had the brilliant  idea to join our loves for Disneyland with my love for Horses to create this wonderful post. I hope you enjoy learning about the horses of Disneyland as much as I did!*

Hi everyone! My name is Mindy and I blog at Budget Fairy Tale. I want to thank Erin for having me on Horsing Around in L.A. today! Since I love writing about Disneyland, and Erin loves writing about horses, it only made sense for me to combine our loves and write a little bit about the Disneyland horses!

If you’re a long time resident of L.A. then no doubt you have been to Disneyland, probably multiple times. I’m sure you are familiar with the gorgeous Disneyland horses that pull the street cars. The same horses also lead Cinderella’s Carriage at Disneyland weddings! But have you ever thought about where they go at night? It’s not like the Mickey and Minnie costumes that can be placed on a shelf or hung in a closet. Live animals need careful care and attention, of course. That’s why Disneyland has a full working ranch on property called Circle D!

Disneyland at Night!

Disneyland at Night!

By Erin

Disneyland is a magical place to be. Living in Southern California I am lucky enough to be able to come here all the time to enjoy this magic. Being able to photograph this magic at night is a special treat and something I enjoy doing when I get the chance. If you look closely… you will also see that it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at the happiest place on earth!!

Do you plan on making a visit to Disneyland during the Holidays?

Halloween Time at Disneyland! #JustGotSpookier

Halloween Time at Disneyland!

By: Erin

Halloween is looming in the air and Disneyland is no exception when it comes to spooky fun, sweet treats, extravagant costumes, and most importantly magical memories.  Every September Disneyland magically transforms into a Halloween wonderland and starting tomorrow night on Friday, September 27th, it’s time for Mickey’s Halloween Party! Tickets start at $51 for annual passholders. It is well worth it for all of the spooky fun, treats galore, and super short lines for all the rides! Things just got spookier at Disneyland!

Here is some of what you have to look forward to at Disneyland during Halloween Time and at Mickey’s Halloween Party! I love all the special Halloween touches that Disney has so thoughtfully put into place. Have a spooky magical time! 😉
