When I took my first stroll down Buena Vista Street, I saw a nostalgic city street. I saw signs of Disney and a time long gone. I noticed quaint little stores, ice cream shops, and an old-time trolley. But, I hate to admit it, I was focused on making it into Disney California Adventure and…
Top 3 Reasons to Experience Disney’s Cars Land by Night
Taking a walk down Radiator Springs during the day was fascinating. I loved the rides, the music, and the general feel of Disneyland’s newest addition. But strolling down Route 66 at night knocked my socks off! Here are my top three reasons to stop by Cars Land at Disney’s California Adventure Park after the sun…
Radiator Springs Comes Alive at the New Cars Land
When CARS came to the theaters in 2006, I was mesmerized. My youngest son, who was only a year old when CARS came out, grew up worshiping Lightening McQueen and Mater, and has collected quite a treasure of CARS memorabilia. When I turned the corner into Cars Land last week, I saw Radiator Springs through…
The World of Color at Disneyland’s California Adventure
During my 2 days at Disneyland last week, I was able to see the incredible (and I mean incredible!!) World of Color water and light show at Disney’s California Adventure Park. World of Color is part water show/part laser light show. Add in some Disney music and magic and a little bit of story telling…and…
Disney/Pixar’s BRAVE Movie Review
I am finally home, back at my own computer (being back on my computer is just as good as being back in my own bed!), and ready to share all of my adventures in California for the World Premiere of Brave as well as the opening of Cars Land. While I was in North Carolina…
World Premiere of Disney Pixar’s Brave at the Dolby Theater #BraveCarsLandEvent
To call this past week a whirlwind is an understatement. I had so many incredible experiences associated with the opening of both the movie Brave and the new Cars Land at Disney’s California Adventure, but probably the experience that stands out most in my mind was the World Premiere and Green Carpet event at the…
Disney’s California Adventure Pixar Play Parade – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
I had the best seat in the house for the Pixar Play parade on Tuesday and only wished that my kids could have been with me to enjoy it. All of their favorite Disney/Pixar characters were present and the costumes, floats, and dancers were full of color and fun. Just looking through these photos makes…
Meeting Kevin McKidd and Other Fun Things About Attending A Red Carpet Event
I am heading out of the hotel in just a few minutes for another very packed day of Disney-style fun, but I had to show off a few pictures from my GREEN carpet experience last night (normally, of course, there would be a red carpet leading up to a world premiere of a movie, but…
Los Angeles, Here I Come! #BraveCarsLandEvent
I am beyond excited about my trip to Los Angeles for the premiere of Disney/Pixar’s Brave and the opening of Disney’s Cars Land (and a little bit stressed about all I have to do before I leave next Sunday). I was hoping that you, my loyal readers, could help me check off one thing from…
Michelle Obama Speaks at Disney’s Magic of Healthy Living Press Conference
There are a few benefits to living in the Washington DC area, including (but certainly not limited to) exclusive invitations to breakfast press conferences with Disney’s CEO Robert Iger and First Lady Michelle Obama. Yeah, I don’t want to brag too much…but that might have been the best breakfast invitation ever. If you know anything…
