Whilst at Disneyland, I found myself taking *SO* many pictures of little details that, when put together, create Disneyland's intoxicatingly complete atmosphere. I want to highlight these in a new post segment called 'It's the Little Things'. Since last post was about the Jolly Holiday Bakery, I figured that would be a great place to start!

What an adorable little building. There are glass cases flanking either side of the cash register queue and I noticed these wonderful little treasures inside:

Bell Jar with Robin print.
This was the first trinket that caught my eye.
Ceramic statuette of Mary riding side saddle, *swoon*.
Hummel, haha.

Wish i knew what happened when you wind it up! Very cute.

I'd be super interested to know who acquired these treasures, and how I can get that job! Whilst they are more suited to my grandmother's home than own, I still think it lovely that time was taken to theme even a bakery queue.

Sweet treats at the Jolly Holiday Bakery!

Although I normally approach planning a Disney vacation with a level of gusto and meticulousness that most find irritating, I went into my trip to Disneyland with a shortish list of must-do's to be completed in no particular order. At the recommendation of countless blogs and podcasts, a visit to the Jolly Holiday Bakery was a must-do!

Referencing the 1964 classic Mary Poppins (one of my all-time favorites), the Victorian-style building is a bright and cheery yellow and, along with the Plaza Inn on the other side, 'caps off' Main Street USA very nicely. Notice the weather vein atop the sign: 



Although the Bakery sells lunch faire and coffee, I was there to sample the baked goods. My friend Ryan and I decided we would share the Red Velvet Cupcake, and Peanut Butter and Chocolate Whoopee-Pie, and the famous Matterhorn Macaroon! :


All three were delicious. For taste, my favorite was the Red Velvet Cupcake for its lovely color (I LOVE PINK) and real cream cheese icing that I didn't find too sweet. I will say, however, there is something charming about eating a Matterhorn Macaroon in view of the Matterhorn, a lovely experience not to be missed!
