Spring Dapper Day 2018 at Disneyland - 2 Days of Pixar Dapper Bounding

So while Spring Dapper Day at Disneyland was on Sunday, Charlotte and I celebrated the entire weekend with two additional Pixar inspired Dapper Bounds! The best part is that we had planned these way before they announced Pixar Fest so it was meant to be!

Charlotte found this amazing lime green fabric filled and decorated with luxo lamps that she made into a dress for herself and a matching camp shirt for me! It made for a perfect 1950s inspired Pixar bound! Charlotte hand painted her parsol, made her ears and added a working mini luxo lamp on my straw fedora.

Our 1950s inspired Pixar bounds fit in perfectly with Lightning McQueen in Cars Land!

The next Pixar bound was Charlotte who made a custom dress to look like Andy's room from Toy Story. She hand painted the fabric and handmade all of the Toy Story characters on her dress. Her purse is the toy box. I was a Dapper Buzz Lightyear with a clear umbrella to look like Buzz's helmet and Charlotte created a custom band for my fedora to show off all of Buzz's buttons that are on his chest.

We had to pay a visit to Buzz and Woody and they loved our outfits! I love all the photos we took with them!

Perhaps my favorite photo with both Buzz and Woody is this random photo that looks like it was staged!

Over at Disneyland they had a lot of fun props to take photos with!

Such a fun couple of days with Charlotte and also thankful for all the love we both received on our outfits! Hope you enjoyed out photos from Spring Dapper Day Weekend 2018 at The Disneyland Resort!

Vehicle Review: 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport - Cars Land, Food Adventures and the Pizza Planet Truck!

The latest vehicle review is for the 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport. No better place to take the Sonata Sport than to The Disneyland Resort! The sun is coming up as we are early to the parking lot! Cars Land here we come!



Take a look at the image above for a 360 view of Route 66 in Radiator Springs shortly after the nightly neon lighting ceremony! This lighting event occurs just after sunset and is a sight not to be missed!

After a great day in Cars Land, the next day it was off on a food adventure of course! But first let's take a look at the smooth lines of the 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport! All trims come with heated side mirrors and automatic headlights. The Sport version has dual exhaust pipes, a sport front grille and LED daytime running lights. The Sport also comes with 17-inch wheels.

The engine is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder GDI engine with a 6-speed transmission that generates 185 hp. Fuel economy comes in at 25 mpg in the city/35 mpg on the highway/28 mpg combined.

There are also some solid safety features including a rear-view camera, traction control, stability control and brake-assist features. Inside there is a full compliment of airbags including a driver's knee airbag.



Take a look at the image above in 360 of the spacious interior of the 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport. The driver gets an 8-way power adjustable driver's seat. The Sonata easily seats five passengers in a very quiet cabin. There is a generous amount of legroom in both rows. Plus, there is a large amount of space in the trunk.

The displays are nicely laid out. The center console has everything easily within the drivers reach. You also get illuminated vanity mirrors, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, 6-speaker audio system with HD Radio, Bluetooth, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

With Disneyland done, it was time for food adventures! The first place I went to is a favorite of mine, Joe's Italian Ice on Harbor Blvd. just down the street from Disneyland! I am having one of their latest flavors, soft serve dole whip with a chocolate shell! A must have!

The next food adventure was for these rolled ice cream waffle tacos from Sweet Cups in Garden Grove! The left is the Vietnamese coffee ice cream and the one on the right is the Monsters, Inc. one which is like a cookies and cream. And yes, they were both delicious!

I ended up my week by hanging out with my friend who owns the Pizza Planet Truck! Here we are meeting up for lunch at a local pizza place called Pizza Press located directly across the street from the Guardians of The Galaxy: Mission Breakout attraction on Harbor Blvd.

Love hanging out with the Pizza Planet Truck and seeing old friend Buzz and Woody!

The 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport offers a smooth ride, lots of room, great fuel economy, advanced safety features and fun tech items all make this a highly recommended family vehicle or a commuter vehicle.

Cars Land Sunset Lighting Moment in 360 VR

One of my favorite moments in any Disney Theme Park is the lighting moment in Cars Land that happens at sunset! Enjoy this moment in glorious 360 degree video!

My Tiny Planet Photo from Cars Land

Take a look at my Tiny Planet photo in the middle of Route 66 and Cars Land in Disney California Adventure Park! This was created using the Samsung Gear 360 Camera!

Cars Land in 360 with the Samsung Gear 360

Time to take the Samsung Gear 360 camera into Cars Land, one of my favorite places to take still photos in Disney California Adventure.



We are here in the heart of Radiator Springs! The town with one traffic signal! Make sure you look up to see that signal! Take your time to look at all the buildings in the land and you are looking at some of the best work that Walt Disney Imagineering has done in a some time!



It is time to watch a race at Radiator Springs Racers!



Standing in the middle of Flo's V8 Cafe, one of my favorite places to eat in all of Disney California Adventure. Also make sure you check out who is traveling Route 66 behind me!



I love the rotunda inside of Flo's V8 Cafe! I also love the cool light sculpture above me! Make sure you look up to see that!



We end the look at Cars Land in 360 with my favorite entrance into Car Land. You get a real sense of the scale of the land. Just think Star Wars Land they are building in Disneyland will even be bigger than this!

Let me know your thoughts on this field test of the Samsung Gear 360 camera and what else in the Disneyland Resort you would like to see in 360.

Disneyland and DCA in 360 with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera

Every since Samsung announced their venture into the world of Virtual Reality (VR), I was excited to see what products they were going to offer. I got the Samsung S7edge that came with the VR Headset. I loved the content that was available but was floored when Samsung announced the Gear 360 Camera! I took the Gear 360 Camera to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on December 23rd and 24th to field test it.

The camera is easy to use and to pair with my phone and got a lot of looks from people walking around me, But let's get to the content that I shot! Below you will find two examples from Disneyland and two examples from Disney California Adventure! Use your mouse on the photo to move around and see what we captured!



This first 360 photo is the main entrance into the park. The famous Floral Mickey Mouse greets you to Disneyland. As Walt said that Mickey was a personification of him (Walt voiced Mickey in the early days) that the Floral Mickey is a personal greet by Walt himself to his park.



The next image is of the one of the most photographed locations on earth, Sleeping Beauty Castle! The castle was kept small because European castles were meant to be large and imposing, Walt didn't want that for his castle. I find that Disneyland's castle is the most charming castle of all.



Next, we move across the esplanade into Disney California Adventure and into the popular Cars Land, based off the hit Pixar film Cars! We are standing in the heart of Cars Land, right below the only light signal in the area. This land feels as if the animated film was actually shot on location here.



Lastly, we have one of my favorite locations in Disney California Adventure. This is the bridge next to Grizzly River Run that takes you past Frog Jump Falls. Take a look around the area and you feel as if you are somewhere in the high Sierras.

I hope you enjoyed this field test of the Samsung Gear 360 Camera and the 360 photos that we took. If you have any suggestions of other areas of the parks that you would like to see please let me know in the comments below! Next up will be some short video testing in the parks in the coming weeks!

Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters Toy Cars at Cars Land in DCA

Walking around in Cars Land, I stopped by Sarge's Surplus Hut in Disney California Adventure to see if there was any new merchandise. And I found these beauties! They finally got toy cars for Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters! There are five cars to choose from!

Will you get one or get them all?

Sasaki Time's Favorite Disneyland/DCA Photos for Facebook Covers

As many of you know, I love taking photos in The Disneyland Resort. I wanted to include some of my favorites to show you and if you want to use for your Facebook Cover photo then by all means please use them. I may also do another post for some of my photos to be used as phone screensavers. Hope you enjoy some of my favorite photos!

Sleeping Beauty Castle is one of my favorite things to take photos of. The time of day and weather conditions add to every photo.

Sasaki Time at Dapper Day's Fall Soire 2015!

One of my favorite days of the year at The Disneyland Resort is back! This time it is the Dapper Day Fall Soire! Always accompanied by my lovely friend Kristen, we choose to Disney Bound in 1950s attire to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Disneyland!

The smaller of the two Dapper Day's here but this year found a beautiful but hot day and a large crowd that Disneyland hot capacity and even had to close its gates in the evening!

A little time with my friend Jack, the Pumpkin King!

Lunch at our go to place, the Carnation Cafe on Main Street for their delicious meatloaf!

ProTip: Make reservations well in advance! You will get seated faster and on hot or rainy days you will get seated inside!

Then it was time to cross over into Disney California Adventure!

The vintage posters in the Paradise Pier area are begging for us to take a photo in front of!

With our 1950s inspired attire, Cars Land is the perfect area to take photos in!

The lights in Flo's V8 Cafe remind me of a satellite and the dawn of the Space Race!

We are getting our kicks on Route 66!

Flo's V8 Cafe and is another perfect place to take a photo!

With my John Lasseter Monsters University Hawaiian shirt on, I had to take a photo with the Big guy, Sully that is! Sully loved my shirt and MU pennant!

A perfect end to another wonderful day at The Disneyland Resort on Dapper Day!
