It’s an exciting time of year to be at Disney – whether you’re there for the Halloween decorations and party or the Christmas ones, It’s a fun time. There’s definitely a lot of construction happening now too, and Disney doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. They announced a couple of new projects now, with […]
Carnation Cafe review
When I took my trip to Disneyland and the D23 Expo this past summer, we booked almost no dining reservations. For a Walt Disney World veteran who makes reservations 180 days in advance, this felt crazy! We booked one lunch at Ariel’s Grotto but nothing else. About a week before we left I panicked I […]
News, rumors, and round up – October 2017
It feels like a tiny bit of a lull in the world of Disney right now. Lots of exciting announcements over the summer, and then all of the big things in fall like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and Food and Wine Festival. Christmas will be coming soon, so there’s still lots of stuff […]
Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout
Throughout my life I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the Tower of Terror. Growing up I was, appropriately, terrified of it. As a child I got scared of anything that seemed remotely spooky or like it was trying to frighten you. So the eerie atmosphere of the Tower of Terror was enough to keep me […]
Storytellers Cafe breakfast at Disneyland’s Grand Californian hotel
My trip to Anaheim in July was a bit of a whirlwind – I knew it was going to be busy, so we didn’t plan too many dining reservations. The cool thing about Disneyland is that unlike Disney World, you can score a lot of last minute reservations – even when it’s pretty busy. So […]
My Disneyland/D23 Expo Haul
I don’t think I buy as much Disney merchandise as some big fans, but I also buy more than others. I’ve tried to stick to buying things that I really love and will actually use. I like having these items as reminders of my trip and the good memories associated with it. Disney has so […]
Disney mug of the month: Disneyland
Mugs, mugs, mugs! Have I mentioned I love them? The only reason why Jason is okay with me continuing to buy them is because my dad is making me a shelf so I can store and display them all. Jason is just sick of them taking up so much cabinet space. And counter space since […]
Thoughts on the park news from the D23 Expo
At the D23 Expo last month we got a lot of big news about the new things coming to Disney parks. I shared an update of what all those things are, but today I wanted to share some of my thoughts about what we heard. Some things are very exciting, while others have people with […]
News, rumors, and round up – August 2017
It’s funny because I started out last month’s round-up talking about what an awesome month June was. Unfortunately July fell back into pretty horrible territory for me from a personal standpoint, but I’m going to keep fighting through it. It’s only August and I’m pretty much ready for 2017 to be over! But at […]
Walk in Walt’s Footsteps tour at Disneyland
On my most recent trip to Disneyland we decided to do the behind the scenes tour that they offer, called Walk in Walt’s Footsteps. We booked it for July 17th, which was exciting because it was the birthday of Disneyland. The park originally opened on July 17th, 1955, so it was celebrating its 62nd […]
