MLB Mickey Mouse (All Star Game)

They are auctioning off all the 989 pound statues, but if you want a small one, they sell 7.5 inch figures! I'm very tempted to buy one!! Here are the All-Star designed Mickey statues.

All-Star Game #1 - Disneyland Esplanade, Anaheim

All-Star Game #2 - Anaheim Convention Ctr, Anaheim

This is my favorite statue out of all 36!

All-Star Game #3 - The Grove Anaheim, Anaheim

This one is cool, the top half is the sky, and the bottom half is the stadium.

All-Star Game #4 - Anaheim City Hall, Anaheim

Here are some extra photos of Mickey posing in front of some "high-profile" locations in Southern California!

One of the best locations, the Angel Stadium! So dramatic!

Nicely shaded below an enormous Angels cap!

And lastly, Mickey & me! Although I took a picture with all 36 statues, I felt this photo most appropriate to post since the All-Star Game was held at the Angel Stadium! This ends my Mickey scavenger hunt, I had lots of fun!

PS) Thanks Jenny for accompanying me to all the locations. That was a fun-filled 3 days!

MLB Mickey Mouse (American League)

So, one day I was driving back home and in the distance I caught a quick glimpse of a 7.5 feet tall Mickey Mouse statue! For my love of all things Disney, I had to find out what it was. I came closer to the statue and noticed that it was designed in a Major League Baseball theme. I found out online that there are 36 of these Mickey statues scattered across Southern California in celebration of All-Star Week festivities.

There are statues in 30 different Major League designs, 4 all-Star designs and an American League and National League design. I quickly penciled in plans to find all 36 before July 13th (the day they would all be removed)!! Here are statues from the American League.

American League - Hilton Anaheim, Anaheim

Los Angeles Angels - Angel Stadium, Anaheim

Oakland Athletics - The Muzeo, Anaheim

Toronto Blue Jays - OC Performing Arts Ctr, Costa Mesa

Happy July 4th @ Disneyland!!!

This 4th of July, we decided to go to Disneyland with Jenny (Danny's lil sis) and her boyfriend , Eric. After a fun-filled day, we watched the fireworks show. Surprisingly, the park was not crowded and the wait for each ride was approximately 15minutes! That definitely lifted our spirits to the max! Here is a view of our play day!

Space Mountain - Danny and I were ready for the camera with our poses!

They had a huge Toy Story 3 toy box on display. We had a little too much fun?!

Wonder why we decided to plaster our faces onto the window, when we have never seen an action figure sold like that, haha!

Tourist picture time!

Us @ Big Thunder Mountain

One of Danny's favorite rides : Soarin' Over California @ Disney's California Adventure

Toy Story Midway Games - An attraction where guests wear 3D glasses and hop on-board a spinning vehicle that takes you through a virtual environment to 5 different Toy Story-themed games, and using the on-board cannon you fire simulated projectiles at virtual targets.

Danny shooting his cannon to hit as many targets as possible to get a higher score!

Horrible accuracy, but at least I won!

Someone scored 556,600 this month! That's insane! I need to practice more!

We tried out the "Animation Academy" where they have a Disney artist teach the audience how to draw a Disney character. One session is just around 10 minutes, and he teaches a different character each session. So, you could technically keep going to the sessions and learn to draw more characters. When we went he taught Jack from "Nightmare Before Christmas." Each seat has a drawing board, paper and pencil to get you started.

On stage the artist takes you through step by step on how to draw the perfect Jack.

This is my progress. I think my Jack head is a little squashed!!

The artist hard at work...

Artist Danny and his completed sketch! (That's pretty good for your first time!)

So, we concluded that Jenny and I had a more cute look to Jack. What do you think?!

This is the finished piece of the Disney artist. Good job, Danny! You were quite spot on!

California Screamin' - Wanna take a ride with us? Here is me doing my best to tape the entire ride!

(Don't mind Danny and Jenny's hands! They seem to be "posing" for the camera)

...And here is me at work, trying to keep the video camera steady as Danny and Jenny enjoy the ride, haha!

At the end of the day, we enjoyed the Disney 4th of July fireworks show!

Here is a short glimpse of the fireworks finale.

BONUS PICTURE! This was the first time in many years that Danny and Jenny went to Disneyland together. We thought it'd be nice to show them back then (1987), and how they look now! What cute siblings!

This is bye for now! See you soon!
