Disney California Adventure: Cars Land Save the Date

Excited to share with you the Save the Date announcement for the new Cars Land opening at Disney California Adventure. I will be attending some private preview events (and will share with you whatever I am allowed to) prior to the big big extravaganza on June 13-15th.

I am so honored to be a part of this historical event in Disney history. And more excited to share all the details with you. Meanwhile here are some photos of a charming save the date- Disney style!

Included was all of the vintage looking poster art post cards for all of the attractions and new things in DCA.

I am in love with these all, and hear you can get full size ones in the park soon.

Easter in the OC.

IMG_3899

A basic run down of my Easter weekend….   There was lots of swimming and tennis matches. Which was necessary after two delicious brunches this weekend and many cocktails.   Egg decorating, that was incredibly fun and competitive. Ultimately The Husband won with this modern simplistic egg that both represented our county and had wonderful [...]

Family Field Trip: California’s Calico Ghost Town (The original Knott’s)

IMG_2883

Off if Hwy 15 on the way from Orange County out to the high desert (and on to Las Vegas, Nevada) is a wonderful piece of history that is not to be missed. I first came to Calico Ghost Town over 30 years ago- and it has changed a bit- but the original, historical buildings [...]

Tam O’Shanter Inn: Walt’s favorite restaurant is waiting for you (D23 Disney & Dickens)

IMG_1475

In Los Angles, near the Disney Studios in Burbank is a little restaurant, that was Walt Disney’s favorite. Disney employees came so often it was referred to as “The Studio Commissary”.  Near the fireplace in a quaint corner is table 31, where you would find Walt sitting nearly every day at lunch time. I completely [...]

Jim Abbott and the Challenger League.

IMG_5986

Jim Abbott  is a very famous pitcher who pitched for several major league teams including the Anaheim Angels. And Jim has one hand. That’s right- he is ‘handicapped’ or in some circles  would have been called ‘special’ as a kid. As a child he began his astonishing sport career by being giving opportunities from coaches [...]

Last week these signs started appearing on freeways around my home. And my clever friend Steve mentioned “Hmm what if you are on a business call that is going to make you $300? Is it worth it then?” I replied with “You would think DEATH should actually be the deterrent- because to a lot of [...]

Why we never have fresh squeezed lemonade.

It is officially Spring Break around these parts, which I have renamed for those of us who work from home ‘week of guilt and low productivity’. This is the first year I didn’t grab the kids and go to Catalina Island or San Diego for at least part of the break. So when I came [...]

Why we value Ice Cream Truck experiences.

IMG_0297 copy

I know. This is the creepiest ice cream truck you have ever seen. And the ice cream man driving it? Let’s just say he made Hannibal Lector look like a boy scout. So why on earth would I yell for the kids ‘ICE CREEEEAAAAAM TRUUUUUCK!!” And frantically grab money to give them as we all [...]
