June 28, 2012 in All Posts, character dining, disney california adventure, girls, princess
Until very recently, the Kuske Family’s Disneyland Resort adventures have primarily focused on pirates, talking toys, and rebel spies. However, since our daughter Emma is getting older and more interactive, we’ve been able to branch out and try things not previously on our itinerary. Our once timid baby girl has blossomed into a talkative and excited little lady who loves to visit with her favorite characters, especially the Disney Princesses. Our last several trips to the park have involved visits to Princess Fantasy Faire, princess souvenirs, and most recently, lunch at Ariel’s Grotto for Ariel’s Disney Princess Celebration!Ariel’s Grotto is...

During the hot summer months, it’s always nice to find a place to cool off and rest for a bit at the Disneyland Resort and It’s Tough to Be a Bug! in Disney California Adventure is perfect for just that!

Every evening at Disney California Adventure Park, the arch way into the Mad Tea Party in Hollywood Land fills with smoke and the party’s two “bouncers”–modeled after Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum–welcome guests into the Mad Tea Party. Guests go down the rabbit hole and see a gigantic stage where the Mad Tea Party band–featuring the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat–play dance music. The band plays every hour for 20 minutes and when they aren’t playing, some of Southern California’s hottest DJs are spinning the hottest dance and party music. After experiencing the main stage area, guests can...

June 23, 2012 in All Posts, girls, princess
All my daughter has talked about the last month is the New Disney Pixar movie Brave and it’s Scottish princess, Merida. She even does a perfect impression of the newest princess saying, “I…am Merida,” as seen in the previews. With that in mind, I couldn’t be more thrilled to be reviewing more wonderful dolls from TollyTots today! The dolls we received are no doubt going to be long time favorites in our home. Just like the Belle doll I reviewed a couple of months back, these 15-inch dolls are made with incredible detail and are of the highest quality. The hair...

When D23, Disney’s Official Fan Club had its first Destination D event, called “Disneyland ‘55”, at the Disneyland Hotel, I had the privilege to attend. The end of Day 1 was an amazing concert, “E-Ticket: Music from Disney Parks”, featuring Richard Sherman. During his portion of the program, Richard reminisced, played songs, and told stories of his days writing music for Walt Disney and Disneyland with his brother, Robert. In one of those stories, he talked about one day when Walt called the Sherman Brothers and told them he had something to show them. He took them into an...
