Thor Ragnarok Review – by a diehard Marvel dad
October 19, 2017 in All Posts, Disney entertainment, movies
When the first Thor movie came out, I remember loving the story and the music, I also remember being shocked that I laughed…out loud a few time. I couldn’t believe that Chris Hemsworth could be awesome as Thor, and funny too. I will admit that I was not a huge fan of the second one. It was a bit too dark, and seemed to drag at times. When I heard about the third one coming out I figured I would just catch it on DVD ( is that still a thing?) or whenever. Last night my wife and went...
Printable Motivational Words from Walt Disney! Friday Freebie
September 22, 2017 in All Posts, disney at home, disneyland resort, home decor
Maybe it’s just me, but September has felt crazy and exhausting, so a few motivational words from Walt Disney are just the thing I need to perk me up! This is maybe my favorite quote, period. I mean Walt was the king of doing things well – and his legacy has proved it! Walt’s work ethic, his vision, his attitude towards his work – it’s inspiring. I want to see this quote and have it remind me that whatever I’m doing (and especially at work) to not just do things just to get them done, because I know I won’t...
Don’t get caught off guard and miss out on your favorite rides
August 29, 2017 in All Posts, attraction tips, disneyland resort, vacation planning
It makes me so sad when I hear people say after their Disneyland trip, “We got there and our favorite rides were closed.” Refurbishments are a must and in order for the Disneyland Resort to maintain the look and safety of its attractions are known for, each ride much be closed once per year for regular maintenance. Typically, these closures take place during the off seasons to ensure the largest amount of attractions possible are available during the most crowded times at the Resort. Sometimes, however, as in the recent case of attractions being closed for the building of...

When you tell someone you are making Bananas Foster Bread Pudding you will get a lot of oohs and aahs – it’s a very fancy sounding dessert and once it’s all plated it looks pretty darn special too (admittedly, in the pan it’s not much of a looker).
