May 30, 2011 in All Posts, Disney entertainment, review
“It’s the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! Come inside, it’s fun inside!” I am a big, big Mickey Mouse fan. Mickey and his Clubhouse gang are in regular rotation in our home.

As a mom, I love that my kids always answer out loud when Mickey asks, “Do you wanna come inside my clubhouse?”. I love that my boys are growing up the classic characters and learning from them at the same time.Early last week, The Walt Disney Studios released...

in All Posts, disneyland, disneyland resort, fun facts, merchandise, new orleans square, shopping tips
Yesterday, Mlle. Antoinette’s Parfumerie, reopened at Disneyland in New Orleans Square. The store originally opened in 1966 and closed in the early 1990s when Disneyland made a number of changes to the New Orleans Square stores. The new Mlle. Antoinette’s Parfumerie is a distinctive luxury boutique, that is home to classic fragrances from Givenchy, Guerlain, Christian Dior, Acqua di Parma and Emilio Pucci. Unlike the original store, guests will NOT be able to mix and make their own signature scents. If Disneyland is thinking about bringing back some of its classic stores, I am going to get down on my knees and BEG to bring...

Fun Fact Friday: Items for sale at the Baby Care Centers in the Disneyland Resort (including prices)
May 13, 2011 in All Posts, babies & toddlers, disney california adventure, disneyland, disneyland resort, Tips & Tricks for Families
Did you know that the Baby Care Centers at the Disneyland Resort offer a variety of baby and toddler items? In order to keep with the theming of the Baby Care Centers, especially at Disneyland, these items are discretely displayed so that they blend in with the rest of the center. The items are the necessities you can’t live without and are available at a “convenience” price (which means they are way more than you would expect to pay anywhere else). Nonetheless, it is great to know that should you run out of diapers, wipes, or formula, your baby...
