Here We Are

Buena Vista Street, Disney California Adventure

Sunday marked the fifth anniversary of “Tours Departing Daily.” Can you believe it’s been 5 years?

In some ways it’s crazy to think that we’ve been at this for that long, but when I look back at all the pictures we’ve taken, the experiences, the people we’ve met, the hours and money invested, it feels like forever. It’s kind of like being married in a way. It’s hard to remember a time before this. A time before we were taking pictures at Disneyland and sharing them on the internet.

Pinocchio’s Daring Queue

Disneyland, Fantasyland

Pinocchio’s Daring queue might not be as daring as his journey, but it does manage to pack a lot into a small space. And no, I’m not talking about people…

Headed for Splash Mountain

Critter Country, Disneyland

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t ride Splash Mountain nearly enough. I could blame it on the camera equipment—and that would be mostly true—but really it comes down to the fact that I enjoy simply being at Disneyland enough that riding anything is supplemental. Most of my time is spent observing my surroundings and how people interact with them.

Big Thunder Morning Ride

Disneyland, Frontierland

A Big Thunder morning ride isn’t for everyone but, for some, it’s the perfect start to a day. The same could be said for a 24 hour Disney event. With the recent announcement of another party to kick off the 60th anniversary of Disneyland over Memorial Day weekend, I decided to revisit my collection of shots from 2012’s One More Disney Day. This was from the first morning when everything was fresh and palpable energy filled the park. It was a completely different story 24 hours later. Michaela and I haven’t attended the subsequent parties but it feels like time to give it a try again.

When Mary Poppins Drops In

Disneyland, Main Street USA

If the weathervanes around Disneyland have taught me anything, it’s that I’m most likely to notice small details when I’m putting forth the least effort to look for them. In this particular case, I was sitting at the end of Main Street, mostly people watching. The sunset was filling the sky with brilliant color and I just happened to glance up and see the silhouette of Mary Poppins above the Jolly Holiday Bakery.

Luggage for Exotic Travels

Adventureland, Disneyland

With a name like “Tours Departing Daily” we sometimes get questions about what exactly it is that we do. What is our website? Do we offer tours? Travel arrangements?

Not exactly…
