Just like religion and politics, discussing Disneyland and Disney World can sometimes lead to a very heated debate. Seems some people have strong opinions in one direction or the other. I’ve decided that I love both and for very different reasons. If you’ve only done one, you may ask yourself, why even bother trying the…

Finding Memories
When we go to either Disneyland or Walt Disney World (or any vacation for that matter), we usually keep souvenirs like maps, postcards, and other things that will remind us of our trip. Some of this, we scrapbook, but some we keep in small containers, so the kids can go back and look through them. …
Disney’s PhotoPass and PhotoPass Plus: A Great Option for Great Photos
In our family, I’m the one that has taken and documented our girls’ lives in photographs since they were born. My husband has always been the one with the video camera until our oldest daughter discovered her video making skills. I had to always remember to make sure that I was in some of those…
Traveling Through Disney with Autism
I just felt that this picture was fitting when talking about Disney and Autism. As most of us know, Disneyland and Walt Disney World are bright, beautiful, and sometimes overstimulating. Yes, I just said “sometimes overstimulating”, and I’m sure most of the parents with children on the Autism Spectrum will know exactly what I mean. …
Tales From a Disneyland First-timer
What can I tell you about Disneyland that you don’t already know, or haven’t already heard? Even as a first time visitor with my hubby last month, I knew that it would be a good Disney time. I knew the magic would be there, and I had read about the rides and attractions that we…
To Walk Where Walt Walked…
I cannot say with any great certainty when my love affair with Disney began, I just know that it’s always been there. Our first trip to the Walt Disney World Resort was in 1975. There was only the Magic Kingdom and we made the trip in a day after staying with some friends in Ft….
App Review: Disneyland Explorer
There are few things that I like more than a cool app for my iPad 2…except for one thing: a cool DISNEY app for my iPad. So, when I got wind of the new Disneyland Explorer app by way of Twitter, I had to see and try it for myself! Firstly, the Disneyland Explorer app…
Disneyland bound!
We are going to spend one day at Disneyland! That being said, I have to say that we have never, ever been there. Now, let me clarify just a little….my hubby and I have been to WDW in excess of 14 times since we have been married, and we are well acquainted with the…
Disney Rewards—A Word of Warning
Some people are not credit card users, and I understand the pitfalls of not paying off your credit card debt monthly. But for those of us who like to use credit cards to our advantage in order to get the points or bonuses offered—without incurring any finance charges—the Disney Rewards Visa card from Chase is…
Paradise Pier Hotel – Theme Park View Family Suite
When we planned our trip, we made our reservation for a Theme Park view. The view was a high priority so that my son would be able to watch World of Color from the room. Yes, we did know that the animation is not visible from the back, but being out of the crowds was…
Have Time?? Take the Disneyland Holiday Tour!!
My family and I were at Disneyland the week of November 14th – 20th. Through the week, we saw people sitting on the Main Street curb for one to two hours before the parade. While we wanted to see the parade, we didn’t want to spend that much time sitting and not spending the time…
Trip of the lifetime on the Lilly Belle
I had heard that people could ride on the Lilly Belle during the Year of a Million Dreams at Disneyland; however, I was never able to on my two trips during that time frame. When my family and I went to Disneyland last week, I half-heartedly asked at the Guided Tours kiosk if we could…
