It’s been a tough week for the invisible people in our family. There’s no way to sugarcoat this so I’m just going to come right out and tell you: So-So was fired from The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland for being “too scary.” You’d think that being a frightening ghost who says “WhooWhoo HaaHaa” to the […]
Disneyland 60th Diamond Celebration offers special food that you will NOT want to miss
Disneyland kicked off its Diamond Celebration on May 21, 2015. It’s hard to believe it’s been 60 years since Walts vision became a reality and the first visitor entered the park. In true Disney style, they have whipped up some very exclusive food offerings that will only be available during the celebration. I had the […]
Halloween is still sweet. Roll with the changes
It’s finally happened. My kids don’t want me to dress in a costume for Halloween. That would be, to use a direct quote, “Totally embarrassing.” It used to be our thing. When they were little and I could pick out their costumes, I got the chance to show my Winnie-the-Pooh love by dressing us all […]

The Story of the Disneyland Corn Dog
I don’t know about you, but I go back and forth. Sometimes I think life is all about “The Big Picture” things. Reaching for our dreams. Setting goals then achieving them. The biggies: Births; Marriages; Deaths. Then, sometimes I think life if all about the outtake. Life’s small pleasures. Sometimes, especially when I’m really hungry, […]
The Kite Song
This is a kite that waved and the confetti that floated above Disneyland’s Main Street during a ceremony for two Disney legends– Richard and Robert Sherman. Two pretty remarkable men you’ve probably never heard of, but who wrote the soundtrack to many of your childhood memories. You can read my full story here. ***** While […]
The Sherman Brothers get their own window Disneyland
Next time you’re walking down Disneyland’s Main Street, instead of focusing on the Castle in front of you or the art, t-shirts and gifts that fill shops, look up at the names on the second and third story windows. There is a real person behind each one. A real Disney legend. Having a Main […]
