Magic Mountain Mondays #43: Jet Stream

Mmmm...drop.

In August of 1995, I took a bunch of photos (on film no less) at Six Flags Magic Mountain using an inexpensive camera. I was working as an Operations supervisor at the time, and the purpose of the project was to create a slide show for an employee appreciation party for our Operations staff. I’ve carted these slides around for over 25 years and I finally had them digitally transferred this year. About 2/3s of them aren’t available for posting because they are crew pictures and I have no way to request permission to post them. But I do have 50+ available that are just various shots of the park. Enjoy this time capsule from August 1995.

Disney Wish March 2023: Day 4. Castaway Cay Day! Sun, sea, and sand...and bikes! (so many bikes).

Our first time! On Castaway Cay! But seriously, it lived up to the hype. This *is* vacation time - a quiet island, blue blue sea, sand, activities...on and on. I'd happily take this port twice on a cruise. For such a small island, we sure ran out of time before we did all we wanted to. Enjoy!

Disney Wish March 2023: Day 3. Nassau, mixology, and fireworks at sea!

Disney Wish March 2023: Day 3. Nassau, mixology, and fireworks at sea!

On Day 3 we started much like day 2...early morning pool and Aqua Mouse time (sadly, POV footage lost). Then we briefly departed the ship in Nassau before coming back aboard for a mixology class, a fancy dinner, and then fireworks at sea. A lovely day all around, even as we looked forward to day 4 at Castaway Cay! Enjoy!

Dapper Days April '23 - dressing up, shopping, a Disneyland visit, & a bunch of music and dancing!

April 15-16, 2023: We're back at the Disneyland Resort for the Spring 2023 Dapper Days Expo. Somehow we find ourselves at Dapper Days regularly - if nothing else we really like the shopping, dancing, and music at the Expo. And honestly we're at Disneyland quite a bit wearing collars and dresses, so that's not too tall an order. Here's some scenes from the 2023 spring event. Enjoy!

A weekend in April, 2023: LA Kings and Disney and LA Galaxy and more Disney. Oh my!

It wasn't a 3-day weekend, but we treated it like a long weekend anyway. A Stanley Cup Playoffs LA Kings game on Friday night, Disneyland on Saturday morning and afternoon, and then the LA Galaxy game that night. Rest on Sunday? Nope, we're up for more at Disney California Adventure. We fit in a handful of rides, visited Oga's Cantina and Trader Sam's, found an awesome photo op at the Disneyland Hotel and even grabbed a few more items from the Food & Wine Festival before it concluded. Enjoy!
