Olivia's Disney Adventures

I know I just recently featured The Cherry Pit Boutique but just had to share their new Miss Mouse Hairbows. Way too cute! I love their bows because they are so well made and look absolutely fantastic. Very professional from beginning to end. I have my set on its ways and can't wait to see these in person!

Lynlee's Petite Cakes knows a delicious way to put up the gone to Disneyland sign.

What a special way to celebrate that birthday. Cupcakes make everything better especially when they are Disney themed


I found this blog when randomly skimming through the internet. I am not in Las Vegas but it has caught my attention enough that next time I am I will be stopping by for a bite.

Hmmm I wonder if they ship? :-)

Lynlee's Petite Cakes can found at http://www.lynleespetitecakes.com/ or on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/LynleesPetiteCakes

Making a bear at Build A Bear is always so much fun. What I found at my last visit to the Downtown Disney Build A Bear shop is a Mickey Ears Bear!

You cannot get this bear anywhere but the Build A Bear in Downtown Disney. It even has an exclusive embroidered foot telling the story of its exclusivity.

Of course you can dress up your bear in outfits or even Mickey Mouse ears but I think the bear alone is fantastic!

Don't rush out to buy a whole army. You are limited to 3 bears per customer.

Looking for the not so typical bow? Creations by Charity has some adorable creations to dress up those tresses. These Disney princess inspired bows are perfect for the little girl who wants the world to see just who her favorite princess is (I like Snow White).

She even has a Hannah Montana clippie for you fans out there!

Here is how little Elizabeth enjoys wearing her favorite princess clippie. Doesn't she have Snow White lips?


Or just keep it simple with a darling Minnie Mouse clippie great for all ages!

As if it can't get any better, look at these bottlecap necklaces! Wear it around your neck or ask Creations by Charity to add this to a custom bow or as a clippie.

I have ordered from Creations by Charity for a couple years now and her work is fantastic and her customer service is superb.

So sad to know that the C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A letters in front of Disney's California Adventures will not be present our next visit as we were starting a tradition of the my son Phillip taking a picture with Mickey on letter C. But although they have gone away, the memories will never leave.

During one of our past Disneyland trips we came across this ad while riding the ART (Anaheim Resort Transit) to Disneyland.

In our family this is very true. I think many families this holds true. Disneyland is a magical place to share through the generations. No matter your age there is something wonderful to enjoy but most of all you have some of the most incredible memories to last a lifetime and beyond.



My parents enjoy taking the grandchildren to Disneyland (pictures shown above of my mother with all 4 grandkids at Disneyland December 2010). The smiles are unbelievable. There is something special about sharing the stories and riding the same rides we rode as young children. I look forward to taking my grandchildren to Disneyland and taking them on my favorite ride of all - Mr Toads Wild Ride.

The Cherry Pit Boutique has created some beautiful outfits for the little girl in your life.

If I was 2ft shorter I would love to have this Minnie Mouse Applique Super Twirl Dress.

Just look at the The Cherry Pit Boutique's Tinkerbell Corseted Tutu Set and 3 Piece Disney Princesses Set. How adorable are these!


I came across The Cherry Pit Boutique on Facebook last year and fell in love with their bows. One I fell in love with and purchased several  for my nieces and myself are her Jack Skellington Inspired bows.

How cute are these! The micro bows are great for adults (although I have a  regular size bow that I wear as well). I wore this at Disneyland this past Christmas vacation. My nieces were to wear theirs as well with their Jack Skellington inspired tutus I made (will take pictures and share in the future). The day we planned to have them wear their outfits was the day it rained and didn't stop until a week after we left so that plan didn't work out. I am unsure these jack bows are for sale currently but you can contact The Cherry Pit Boutique for custom orders at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cherry-Pit-Boutique/124126273086

You can also find items for sale at:

Tell them Olivia sent you ;)

I found these Mickey pops while shopping at Walmart. They have several Disney themed Valentines goodies this season of love but these were my favorites.

I already picked up some for myself but will be going back to buy more for the loved ones in my life. Everyone needs a mickey pop!

I could just die! Bakerella has done it again! She has made Sorcerers Hat cake pops. Anyone who knows me well knows my favorite Mickey's are Steamboat Willie and Sorcerers Apprentice. And anyone who knows me knows how much I love Fantasia.

Her cake pops were created for and featured on DisneyFamily.com

 
How cute are these! I am so making a batch!

Visit DisneyFamily.com and get the recipe and details on how to make these. Cake pops are so easy and so much fun. Even better Disney themed!

Do you purchase Disney movies often? Join Disney Movie Rewards.

It is absolutely free and you can turn those points in for some really fun items. I have been saving for awhile trying to earn some of the best rewards.

Each Disney movie has a reward code so enter it at any time.

My sister-in-law uses her reward points to earn free snapfish prints and photo books. Of course many fun items for all ages.

They do have a refer a friend program so you can also refer your friends and family to receive added bonus points (if you fee generous and have no friends or family to refer you, send me your email and I will send you an invite). I believe I received points just for signing up (25 I think it was) but not finding info on current sign up points so don't hold me to that.

You can also earn bonus points various times of the year such as join the Disney Movie Rewards and preorder Tangled you can receive 325 movie reward points.

Keep those theater tickets when seeing a Disney movie because you may earn reward points. Same with Disney CDs.

You can visit the Disney Movie Rewards website at http://www.disneymovierewards.com or send me your email and I will send you a refer a friend invitation.

I love doing crafts and if I can put a disney twist on it I will. These keychains (or as I am using one as a zipper pull) were from a baby shower a couple years ago. I have so much fun finding new ways to get creative and make special gifts for others around me.

As I create more fun goodies, I will post them and share.

What are your favorite disney crafts?

When I think of Disneyland I think of the Disneyland I grew up and not all of what I see today. This bag has all those wonderful memories. I never consider spending a great deal of money on 1 purse simply because I buy purses so often and my taste changes often. This is one I would throw the credit card down on the counter as if going in for the touchdown and yell GIMME in the most animated way possible! Of course I would be far nicer, quieter, and less insane so they don't come escort me out but I WANT this one! I have said I will only purchase it with my earnings from my home business so this is my very first goal for the year.

If you love this bag too you can order it at the Disney Store website. They also have several others and even more reasonable priced ones such as this one:

I was so very lucky to get this one during my last trip to Disneyland as a birthday present. It looks small in person but boy oh boy does it carry a lot! It is so adorable! I got the white but I will be ordering the blue as well.

I am always on the hunt for great Disney themed purses (usually minnie and mickey themed) so you can always expect I have more mickey purses than any sane person should ever have lol

What a wonderful year this will be!

Not only do I have 2 trips being planned for such a magical place, I see so many wonderful opportunities for us all to have a wonderful year!

How will you make this a magical year?

P.S.
I aso figured out how to blog from my phone!
