There’s a New Redhead In Town

March 22, 2019, 4 Comments

After over 50 years of men, both real and animatronic, shouting “We wants the redhead!” Disney chose to finally change the infamous “wench auction” inside their classic attraction Pirates of the Caribbean last year. There was a mixture of reactions to the change, and I myself debated on writing about it here on the blog.…

After Patrick wrapped up his conference in Palm Springs, we headed to the high desert to spend a couple of nights at the Pioneertown Motel. Long time readers may be familiar with previous visits to Pioneertown, a real town originally built as a live-in backlot of sorts made exclusively for westerns back in 1946. But…

The Return of Adventureland Day

March 5, 2019, 3 Comments

As it is already well established, I love Disneyland and a good theme, so I was overjoyed when I heard that Adventureland Day (put together by Tiki Tony), one of the newest unofficial theme days, was returning. The event encourages Guests to embrace all things Adventureland whether it is with tiki-tastic clothing, safari-wear (or adventurer…

A Visit to the Aquarium

February 19, 2019, 2 Comments

Over the weekend a group of my friends and I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific. I honestly hadn’t been to an aquarium in ages, so it was a fun diversion for the weekend. I fully intended to really go nuts shooting photos here of the cute seals, brightly colored fish, and other fun…

The Outlet Mall Masquerading as an Assyrian Palace

If you’ve ever driven along Interstate 5 through Commerce, just outside Los Angeles, you’ve likely spied a grand ancient looking palace and perhaps wondered “What on earth is that!?” Well, it’s an outlet mall actually. Yes, an outlet mall, known simply as The Citadel. But it wasn’t always that way. The building was actually built…

Peanuts Celebration 2019

Last year Knott’s Berry Farm introduced a new entertainment offering to its unique seasonal schedule, Peanuts Celebration! Sadly, last year I didn’t have time to visit, but this year I was not going to miss it! As some of you may know, Charles M. Schulz’s beloved characters call Knott’s Berry Farm home, but typically the Peanuts…

Valentine’s Month at Disneyland

January 25, 2019, 2 Comments

This year Disneyland introduced “Valentine’s Month” to the park with extra decor, special food items, and even a scavenger hunt to celebrate the holiday of love. I’ve always enjoyed a good scavenger hunt, so Patrick and I went over to the park for the day to experience it. For those familiar with Disneyland’s Easter Egg…

On the Basis of Sex

Rarely do Patrick and I go out to the movies these days as I’ve grown increasingly more annoyed with people on their phones at the movies. But earlier this week we made it to the cinema to see On the Basis of Sex, the film that follows the early career of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader…

I don’t know about you, but 2018 was one long year for me. A lot happened, both good and bad. On a personal level, the year had its bumps, but overall wasn’t terrible, on a better personal note, I cultivated a lot of friendships this year, which left me so happy. However on a national…

I’ve been fighting a cold for over two weeks now, and due to that we didn’t go to Knott’s Berry Farm, as per our tradition on Christmas Eve, but I couldn’t let this cold stop me from visiting Disneyland Christmas day, which has become our tradition since moving to California! But I did opt for…
