Losing mom a year and a half ago was devastating, but we are all learning to continue living, as we know Mom would have wanted. Our father is no exception. Recently our Dad had the chance to house sit and preach at a friend's church in the Anaheim area. He wasn't sure about making the... Continue Reading →
One thing that I really liked about exploring the Disney Wish is that it felt really big, but really manageable all at the same time. There was a lot of fun stacked on top of each other, made accessible through elevators as well as staircases. While the individual spaces did run on the small side,... Continue Reading →
None of us expected to be here. No one planned for it. But post-pandemic, we found ourselves planning a memorial trip to Disneyland in honour of our late mother. Unfortunately our mother was diagnosed in February 2021 with Glioblastoma, an aggressive, un-treatable brain cancer. She passed away after a 9-week all-too-brief fight in April 2021.... Continue Reading →

Truth be told, we weren't planning on heading to the parks this year as we are planning to go to Walt Disney World next spring, but the opportunity to travel with my husband's family came up and, well, who can say no to that? Lodging There... Continue Reading →
Welcome to another Disney Friends Blog Hop! When you're done here, hop on over to the next post and loop your way around. This month's theme is "Disney Splurges". We choose Disney Parks: Splurge or save? I am a fan of saving money. I'm married to an accountant, so we are always looking for ways to... Continue Reading →
The Toy Story franchise is truly something special. It's always been one of our Dad's favourite Disney movies, so I think that endeared it to us even more. My son watched the movies on repeat when he was two years old. Despite the rave reviews, I was hesitant going into Toy Story 4. The third movie had... Continue Reading →
Post-Disney blues are a real thing. There is nothing more depressing than coming home from a Disney vacation. All of the anticipation is replaced with a longing to go back in time and do it all over again. We have experienced this many a time and have come up with a few ways to... Continue Reading →
