Note: While this post was originally written in 2016, it is continually updated to reflect movies and shows that have filmed here since then. Over the weekend one of my friends celebrated her birthday, and she decided to do it in style by having a Gatsby themed dinner at Cicada Club, which is located in…

Recently I was contacted by the UK based, retro influenced clothing company Dolly and Dotty to see if I was interested in test driving one of their items for review. For the most part Dolly and Dotty’s website is full of the classic retro staples, with fitted dresses, swing dresses, pencil skirts and striped tops,…

Gosh, I haven’t blogged since the New Year!? That’s crazy! Well, for good reason. Like mentioned before, Patrick and I caught colds in December, and have been battling them since, including New Years.

Sorry for the radio silence since Christmas Eve. I wish I could say it was due to the busy holiday season, but alas, I finally caught the cold Patrick got earlier in the month, and we’ve spent every day since Christmas Eve bundled up and drinking gallons of tea, until yesterday. No, I’m not over…

Now that Patrick and I have seen the latest Star Wars film, I felt I could now properly enjoy and appreciate all of the items from The Force Awakens that are on view at Star Wars Launch Bay and inside the various shops at Disneyland more. So, I convinced Patrick to take a long lunch…

It wasn’t just my friend’s birthday over the weekend, but Dick Van Dyke’s as well! Everyone’s favorite chimney sweep turned 90, and he celebrated at the Happiest Place on Earth. He performed live in New Orleans Square, singing songs from Mary Poppins, which was quite the treat! Later he had his own small parade down…

I was first introduced to James Bond at the age of nine. It was 1998, and my dad and I were about to head to Las Vegas for a NASCAR race and he figured I should watch something with Las Vegas in it (this started a life long pattern of watching movies and television that…

Fall is officially in swing at the Disneyland Resort, and while Main Street USA may be lined with adorable pumpkins, one of my favorite areas of Disneyland during fall is Frontierland and the Big Thunder Ranch area. Sadly, this year will be the last autumn for Big Thunder Ranch, which includes the Big Thunder Ranch…

A Diamond Studded Affair

Despite my many visits to Disneyland Resort during its 60th anniversary Diamond Celebration, I had yet to meet our beloved characters along Main Street USA in their special outfits designed just for the 60th. Part of that was because I wanted to wear an outfit inspired by their outfits! And I finally was able to…
