February 27, 2016 in All Posts, animation, Disney entertainment, movies
Zootopia is coming out in theaters on March 4. Last year I attended a media preview event in which I got to see a number of scenes from the movie and got a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was made. (Click here and here to read those posts.) My family and I cannot wait to see it the very first weekend it comes out at the Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime by our home in Burbank, California. My husband and I have been going to movies at the Burbank AMC 16 for as long as we can remember and...

Not to long ago I was invited to attend a super secret sneak peek at the new Disney film The Jungle Book. The early look was hosted by the film’s director Jon Favreau and visual effects supervisor Rob Legato. Yes, I just said Jon Favreau. It was one of those moments that “college me” would have not believed while sitting in the $2 theater watching the movie in 1996. Back to the screening viewing event. I didn’t know what to expect from The Jungle Book. How would they pull off a live action movie with talking animals? I quite...

Volunteering at Disneyland runDisney Races!

Are you looking for a way to participate in runDisney race weekends without having to actually run the race? Get in on the excitement and consider volunteering your time at Disneyland runDisney races! I have participated in four runDisney races in the past few years – two on the West Coast and two on the East Coast. The excitement of participating in these races is unlike any other experience, but there is no way these races could take place without the hundreds of people who dedicate their time and energy to make sure the runners have an amazing race. From the water...
Yesterday the Consumer Products Safety Commission recalled two infant onesies sold at Disney Parks and Resorts due to the fact that the snaps can come off and become a choking hazard. The Darth Vader Infant Bodysuits were sold in five sizes: 3M, 6M, 12M, 18M and 24M. The garment has a gray body with black sleeves and trim. The artwork on the front of the bodysuit shows an infant Darth Vader holding a light saber with the text: “If you only knew the power of THE DARK SIDE.” The Disneyland 60th Infant Bodysuits have a light blue body...
Zootopia will be charging into theaters nationwide on March 4, and given all of the incredible footage I’ve already seen from this movie, and the early access I was given to see how this amazing film came together, I am beyond excited to see it. It is a great animal movie following in the footsteps of films like Bolt, Robin Hood and The Rescuers, updated for a new generation with animation like you’ve never seen. Zootopia is a movie that takes place in an animal world. This world is not populated by humans–just animals. These animals live, work and...
Looking Toward the Future of Frontierland With a Heavy Heart for the Past
January 11, 2016 in All Posts, big thunder ranch, disneyland, disneyland resort, frontierland
I’ve tried to write this post a few times this morning, and didn’t know where to start. I have never been one of those Disneyland fans to get overly emotional about changes to the resort, but this morning I must admit that my heart is a little heavy thinking about the permanent closures in Frontierland that went into effect this morning at the Disneyland Resort. My heart is sad to say good-bye to Big Thunder Ranch, Big Thunder Barbecue and the goats, not just because they are fun places to visit, but because I will no longer be able...
