Lunar New Year is traditionally celebrated by Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese cultures, which are represented throughout the Park. As a Vietnamese-American, it is fun to see how the Lunar New Year gets the Disney magic treatment when I visit. Highlights of the festivities, which will...

Disneyland does something I find extremely wonderful – they share their famous recipes!

One of our family favorites is shortbread cookies, and I was surprised at the ease of Disneyland’s shortbread cookie recipe – it’s only 3 ingredients (well without the chocolate), that’s about as easy as cookie making gets! If you are looking to do something fun with your kiddos...

So when a recipe rolls by with a short ingredient and direction list like this one for the pumpkin bread served at Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel, plus it’s one that my kids would be able...
