Ever wanted to make Real DOLE WHIPS at home! Same as Disneyland and Disney World

Ok If you've ever been to a Disney Park like Disneyland or Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, chances are you're had a Dole Whip Pineapple Soft Serve treat.

If you are like most people, you start feeling homesick and want to go back to the park, the second you leave. Me too! For those of you who want to relive those memories at home and enjoy a taste of the parks when you can't get there I present to you a way to make and enjoy REAL DOLE WHIPS AT HOME!

There are plenty of recipes out there that come close, but this is the real deal. Why settle for a cheap knockoff when you can have the exact same thing they have at Disneyland? If you want to know how I get my Dole Whip then check out this video, I provide links to the wholesale website that I buy my Dole Whip SoftServe Mix from and even instructions on how to break down the large bag into 1qt batches you can make for your family!

Disney's The Haunted Mansion

By Dan-O Florez

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion! I am your host, your ghost host. Kindly step all the way in please and make room for everyone. There's no turning back now.

Our tour begins here in this gallery where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state.

A nice shot of both shoes. Thanks for sharing photos of your shoes with your many followers.

Many clients request the wallpaper from the mansion to be incorporated into the shoe design.

Or TOMS

Marc Davis Original concept artwork is always a great inspiration for me when painting Disney themed shoes.

All our ghosts have been dying to meet you! This one can hardly contain himself!

The infamous Hatbox Ghost!

Also on Vans slip Ons

Perhaps Madame Leota can establish contact. She has a remarkable head for materializing the disembodied.

When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake,
Spooks come out for a swinging wake!
Happy haunts materialize, and begin to vocalize. 
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!

Now don't close your eyes and don't try to hide,

For a silly spook may sit by your side.

Shrouded in a daft disguise, they pretend to terrorize.

Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize! 

As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree, 
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree.
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes start to shriek and harmonize.
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell, 

weird glows gleam where spirits dwell.

Restless bones etherealize, rise as spooks of every size!

Ah, there you are, and just in time! There's a little matter I forgot to mention. Beware of hitchhiking ghosts! They have selected you to fill our quota, and they'll haunt you until you return! Now I will raise the safety bar, and a ghost will follow you home!

Hurry back! Hurry back! Be sure to bring your death certificate, if you decide to join us. Make final arrangements now! We've been dying to have you!

Maleficent Movie Review!

This past weekend I took the family to see Disney's newest feature Maleficent.

Check out my silly review below!

I answer your questions!

Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror

"You're traveling to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but also of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose bounderies are that of the imagination. At the sign post up ahead, your next stop, the twilight zone"

Today's painting journey was inspired by one of my favorite Disney attractions Twilight Zone Tower of Terror! 

Check out the quick little clip I threw together to showcase my artwork. I used a clip of the intro video from the Disney attraction and spliced in an audio clip from the original series and added photos of the shoes. Let me know what you think!

This specific pair was inspired by the concept artwork for the Tokyo Disney Sea version of the ride

Here is an actual picture of how the ride looks today.

It looks as though imagineers stayed pretty true to the original concept design

Of course this is different from the original version of the ride at Florida's Disney Hollywood Studios park

This version is personally my favorite because it operates differently than all the others. This original incarnation of the ride features a 4th dimension room that once the elevator reaches the top of the floor it actually moves forward into a spooky scene featuring elements from The twilight zone and an amazing light effect that ends with the freefall that the ride is famous for. 

Here is a shoe that I made inspired by this version of Tower of Terror (the other shoe is Rock'n Roller Coaster but I'll save that for another post!)

Other newer versions of the ride all operate in one single elevator shaft that takes you up to view a long hallway and a ghostly mirror but the elevator stays in the same drop shaft as you go up in. 

Here is a photo of the California Adventure/Disneyland Paris version of the ride as they were built to be identical to one another.

The final result of the shoes are pictured below

I do hope you've enjoyed todays terrifying post and feel free to DROP IN anytime....
