Disneyland - September 21st, 22nd, 23rd

I was really excited for Disneyland this month because I knew that the holiday (halloween) stuff would be up!  I love Haunted Mansion at Holiday time.  It is more happy than usual.  It makes me smile.  I also love all the pumpkins and harvest stuff that is up!  It makes me smile!  I love autumn!  We didn't get to the Harvest Party at Big Thunder Mountain Ranch, but we will in October when we go with the kids grandparents!  

We stayed at Portofino Inn & Suites this time, a new hotel for us.  It was older, but clean and comfortable.  The reviews online made me nervous, but it turned out to be pretty decent.  We walked to the park most days, as it was super close.  I took SO many pictures this month, perhaps to make up for last month where I took very few.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Halloween at the Entrance Gate to Disneyland

Halloween inside on all the light poles (I really need to take a full shot of Main St. USA Halloween Decor)

Meeting Tigger, Pooh and Eeyore

Halloween Haunted Mansion with Nightmare Before Christmas

Well hello there Mr. Skellington *smiles*

Halloween is the best time of year at Disneyland, in my opinion. 

Meeting Jake from Disney Jr. and exploring Cars Land again -- lots of fun!


Meeting Pinocchio for the first time and keeping cool with frozen lemonades during a heat wave! 

Girls being girly and meeting the princesses . . . love the new location across from It's a Small World.  Perfect use of that space there! 

Feeding the kiddies SUGAR -- love seeing their happy faces and love seeing all the smiles from older peoples at Disneyland when they see their sugar coated faces!


Meeting Pluto and Mickey!  I love character meetings, it really is what makes Disneyland the happiest place on earth.  It makes it superior to other theme parks!

Downtown Disney at the Lego Store . . . love to see the Master Builder creations they always have there.

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...
