We often get asked what else there is to do, BESIDES Disney when in California. Generally, when we do a trip to Disneyland, that’s the main focus of our trip. We almost always do the 5 day pass. We are rope-drop-to-late-night Disney people, so typically on our days off we don’t get very far. The […]
Confession: I have not actually tried the Elote in Disney's California Adventure Park. Not living near the parks, sometimes I will have a craving for something I've seen... most often on Instagram!

Elisia and I had the opportunity to see Aladdin on opening weekend. I had been looking forward to it since Disney announced that it was coming out.

This weekend I took my kids to see the new live action movie "Dumbo." While the original 1941 classic has never made my top ten movie list, I've always loved the character. The first time I went to Disneyland in 1988, the Dumbo ride was my favourite, so my parents bought me a Dumbo ornament... Continue Reading →
The first time that I went to the Magic Kingdom I remember thinking how BIG it was. Everything was like Disneyland California only on a much larger scale. I still had all the Disney feels when we stepped out onto Main Street for the first time. Our family of 19 was planning our first ever... Continue Reading →
Between the four of us, we have kids ranging from 1 - 11, and so our experiences are all different.
