Exploring LA: Things to do in Los Angeles

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 […]

Copycat Cozy Cone Elote

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! It seemed simple enough so I went for it. For anyone that doesn't know what Elote is, it's also known as Mexican Street... Continue Reading →

Magic Kingdom: First Impressions

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 →
