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!

Seriously this bag makes "Around 89 1/2 cup Dole Whip Servings" for $20.88 and even included a large bucket and a whisk and Free Shipping. 90 DOLE WHIPS for $21.00

Oh and you're welcome!

Spring Dapper Day 2015 at Disneyland!

Twice per year people flock to Disney parks from all over the country to participate in Dapper Day.

Dapper Day is when folks don their finest apparel and hit the parks in style. While many choose vintage fashion, there are many people who use contemporary clothing and even those who dress inspired by characters mixing dapper day with disneybounding. This springs Dapper Day took place on March 1st.

Here's my video for my first Dapper Day!

For my 1st Dapper Day I chose to do the latter. I DapperBounded as a Star Wars Rebel Pilot

My outfit was made of bright orange Dress pants, A light orange button up dress shirt, a white sweater vest, an orange black and white bow tie, yellow aviator sunglasses to simulate the goggles the pilots wore and I custom painted a newsboy cap to match the pattern of a rebel pilot helmet.

I was fortunate to meet up with some friends I made at the #DisneySide #MakerAllStar Creator Conference, Leo Camacho (MrLeoZombie on youtube), Sarah Sterling (ImSarahSnitch on youtube), as well as youtubers Keith Lapinig (KeithLapinig on youtube) Brizzy (BrizzyVoices on youtube)

As part of the Dapper Day experience there is also an expo that was going on at the Grand Californian hotel. At the expo,  I ran into #DisneySide #MakerAllStar Conference friend, Charis (CharismaStarTV on youtube) pictured below

I was also fortunate to be apart of one of my favorite youtubers shows, Adam the Woo's The Daily Woo

You can see the episode below!

   

Also I later got to meet up with Adam the Woo again and I even hung out even more with Mig Vee (Wacky California on youtube)

Pictured above is Adam the Woo, Mig Vee, Justin Scarred (LiveFastDiePoor on youtube) and Tyler Evans, TylerEvansRockJournalist on youtube)

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.

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!

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!
