Vehicle Review: 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT - Food and Adventures at Disneyland!

Time to check out the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT! I love driving smaller vehicles and was excited to drive the Hyundai Elantra GT! The 2-18 Hyundai Elantra GT was beautifully redesigned and I love the cascading grille and the vertical LED running lights.

Took an early drive down to the San Diego area to pick up a friend. The drive was amazing! The 2.0L DOHC 4-cylinder engine supplied plenty of power to handle the Southern California freeways! You get good gas mileage with 24 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.  Put the 2018 Hyundai Elantra into Sports Mode and you may never get out of the car! The large 17-inch alloy wheels grip the curvy foothill roads on the way to my friends house.

The style package on the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT gives you blind spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert, two of my favorite safety features on any vehicle. You also get the side mirror turn indicators, proximity key with push button start, leather wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter, power driver's seat and heated front seats.

Time to load up the trunk which is huge for a small car! So much room for all of your luggage and more!

The layout of the cockpit is surprisingly roomy and filled with tech that larger cars have.

Awesome to find a panoramic sunroof! One of the unexpected finds on the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT! This comes in the Tech Package that also includes full LED headlights and taillights, leather seating surfaces, electronic parking brake, the Qi wireless charging pad for compatible smartphones, ventilated front seats, auto-dimming rearview mirror with BlueLink, HomeLink and Compass and carpeted floor mats.

Not that I need any navigation tool to help me find which way it is to Disneyland! But we are almost there! I love the large 8-inch infotainment touchscreen that has both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay across all trims.

We reached Disneyland and it was time to enjoy a Teddi Beara Lavender Sparkler which tasted like lychee and was absolutely delicious and refreshing!

We picked up some reading material as well! The second volume of Tales of The Haunted Mansion came out and was a must buy after reading the first one and how amazing it was!

Then it was time to eat and it was time to try a secret menu item, the Galactic Style burger from the Galactic Grill in Tomorrowland! Think of it as a tasty cross between an In N Out animal style burger and a McDonald's Big Mac! Amazing and delicious, a must have!

When you close down Disneyland you can get a cool photo like this in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle all by yourself!

And just as important is a photo on a nearly empty Main Street!

The 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT came in at $27, 460.00 as tested. A solid, fun-to-drive hatchback with great tech and safety features makes this a vehicle worth looking at!

The Legendary Hatbox Ghost Materializes in Disneyland for the 60th Anniversary!

Photo taken at the 2013 D23 Expo by myself

The Hatbox Ghost did appear in The Haunted Mansion when it first opened back in 1969. The effect of his head disappearing and appearing in a hatbox he held in his right hand was never convincing and the Hatbox Ghost disappeared into legend. But he appeared on several pieces of merchandise and then the rumors of his return materialized when this audio animatronic figure appeared at the 2013 D23 Expo. But finally, the Disney Parks Blog made the official announcement that the Hatbox Ghost would make his long-awaited return in May!

Disneyland Photo Report: Halloween Creeps Into The Park - Merchandise - Crows and Ghostly Materials

Hey everybody - it's time for another Disneyland photo report! Summer is just about over and the fall is setting in! That means it's almost Halloween Time! So come along with me and see what's new! A light crowd today as we head into Disneyland!

The colors of the flowers! So bright and cheerful! The park is happy to see us!

A closer look at the flowers!

As we head onto Town Square, Disneyana is presenting art to help celebrate the 45th Anniversary of The Haunted Mansion!

A great take on the stretching portraits! How cute do these characters look?

Donald and his nephews visiting the mansion. Dewey is feeding the ghost horse that pulls the hearse.

Hmmm reminds me of the painting called American Gothic.

This is perhaps my favorite piece of art on display here. The organ in The Haunted Mansion was the one used in the movie 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. So that is Captain Nemo, played by James Mason, as the spirit playing the organ.

Merchandise such as this Goofy pumpkin have arrived. Don't worry you will see more merchandise below!

Walking down Main Street I saw this skull in the window. I'm sure it has been there for a long time and not just part of the Halloween decorations slowly going in.

I also noticed this awesome stained glass spider web in one of the windows on Main Street as well.

As promised back to more Halloween merchandise! Check out these cute Pumpkin Mickey and Minnie mugs!

Here is a larger mug for those of us that require more coffee in the morning!

A cute tabletop decoration. Would have been cool if it was an actual alarm clock!

Love this candy bowl!

Halloween hand towels!

Cute Mickey-o-lantern!

Great Witch Minnie reusable bag!

Another great tabletop decoration!

I love this Countdown to Halloween!

The Haunted Mansion is preparing itself for Jack Skellington's yearly visit!

The sign lets us know that September 12th will be the day that Jack's back!

One of my favorite signs in the park!

Oh no, the crows have invaded the Fortuosity Shop on Main Street!

It's like a scene from The Birds.

So many crows!

One last look at some of the crows!

Halloween Time is quickly approaching! The Halloween Time festivities begin September 12th at Disneyland! Will you be there?
