Fall Dapper Day with Friends

Fall Dapper Day came right on the heels of Halloween this year, but for the most part we played it pretty chill, spending most of the day roaming, taking photos and eating food. Like previous unofficial theme days at Disneyland, you’re not only getting pictures of me, but also photos of some of my stylish…

As much as I love Christmas, I’m bummed to say goodbye to the Halloween season. I added a lot to both our vintage Halloween decor collection, as well as my spooky wardrobe, and I didn’t even get to wear all of it! But one new addition to the Halloween closet that was not going to…

Last week my friend Solanah (some of you long time readers may remember her from my old days in Portland) came to visit to spend a couple days at Disneyland, and our friend Brittany joined us. Prior to the visit we all decided to wear flowing red ensembles to Disneybound as the Emperor’s Royal Guards…

While I always love a good witchy ensemble, the Halloween season really brings it out. Not too long ago I scored a vintage top hat at a thrift store, and having recently re-watched American Horror Story: Coven, I threw together an outfit inspired by Misty Day, whose look is inspired by Stevie Nicks, known for…

While Knott’s Scary Farm kicked off two weeks ago, Knott’s Spooky Farm, the kid-friendly Halloween theme event at Knott’s Berry Farm, started last weekend. Even though the event is geared more toward children, it’s still a lot of fun! Friendly spirits roam Ghost Town, there is “Spooky Storytelling” inside the Bird Cage Theatre, crafts in…

A Visit to the Stone Age at Arizona’s Bedrock City Before it Becomes History

Just a few miles south of the Grand Canyon is a place where you can, at least for a few more weeks, step into the fanciful past of the Flintstones, the modern stone age family. This is Bedrock City. This colorful town isn’t from the stone age, but actually 1972, and was built in Valle,…

It’s hard to believe summer has come to a close, and with it, the end of my favorite summertime event, Ghost Town Alive, at Knott’s Berry Farm. Every Labor Day for the last four years we’ve spent it at Knott’s Berry Farm enjoying Ghost Town Alive, the unique, award-winning, interactive experience where you get to…

It may still be summer, but Halloween is on the mind! Why? Because last night I attended the Knott’s Scary Farm announcement event, where I learned all kinds of amazing new information about the unique Halloween event that Knott’s Berry Farm offers each fall. As the event was in the evening and inside the massive…

As mentioned in my previous post, today I’m sharing the costume I made and wore to D23, but first a little bit of backstory… When entering Disneyland one of the first things Guests see are posters for the various attractions and restaurants. One such poster in the early days was for the Casa de Fritos.…
