Growin up, Thor was never my favorite comic book character. Even within the realm of the Marvel Universe, it was a bit “too out there,” even for a comic nerd like me. But when the first Thor film came out, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. A big part of my new appreciation for Thor is because of Chris Hemsworth. His ability to combine comedy and believability has continued to be the reason the Thor franchise is so successful. Thinking back to “Thor: The Dark World,” it was kind of a mess and letdown, but we...

My name is Lisa and I have a Starbucks problem. Let’s begin by saying I adore coffee. I love the way it smells, the way it tastes and the way the warm cup feels in my hands. I also LOVE Starbucks because they are a fun place to hang out and grab a quick bite to eat. When some Disneylanders were upset Starbucks were coming to the parks, this girl jumped with joy. If you are a Starbucks diehard like me, you’ll love these need-to-know facts about Starbucks at the Disneyland Resort. The Disneyland Resort Starbucks Locations: Disneyland on Main...

November 28, 2021 in All Posts, book, review

If you were like me, you scoured through a stack of recipes straight from Disneyland’s City Hall. Or, if you were one of the lucky ones, you...

The result is a colorful swirl of peppermint goodness and it measures a whopping 18-inches long! With last year’s closure, we have missed this Disneyland tradition and I’m so glad to see it is back for 2021! A very limited number of these impressive candy canes will be produced by our candy makers this season. They will be sold only at: ...
