To say I am a little excited for “Cinderella” is like saying I’ve been to Disneyland “a couple of times.” (For the record, I’ve logged in more than 1,000 days.) As I have mentioned before, this movie is a big deal for me. In fact, I’ve told my husband that “Cinderella” is my “Star Wars.” Stop. Don’t get me wrong, I am SUPER EXCITED for Star Wars. For heaven’s sake, I recently bought the new Dooney and Bourke Star Wars purse! That being said, “Cinderella” has me crazy excited. For those of you who don’t know, on March 13, Disney...

101 Dalmatians DVD Review
February 10, 2015 in All Posts, animation, Disney entertainment, disney home entertainment, movies, review
The Disney classic 101 Dalmatians is now out on digital HD, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, Disney Movies Anywhere and On-Demand. For years, my husband has been asking when we will be able to get “101 Dalmatians” on DVD. It seems like every time we turn on the Disney Channel the live action version is on–and while it is good, it doesn’t hold a candle to the original. Finally, it is out on DVD and our family couldn’t be happier. If you are like us and it has been a while since you’ve seen “101 Dalmatians,” trust me when I tell you it’s...

in All Posts, Ask the Disney Expert, disneyland resort, Tips & Tricks for Families
At the beginning of 2014 we wrote about the idea of making a Disneyland Resolution – thinking of something we wanted to try or do at the Disneyland Resort that we had never done. And in a previous Ask the Disney Expert post, we shared some of those things we wanted to do. I’m happy to report that we all met a goal in 2014! And yet again, we have reached out to some of our favorite fellow Disneyland experts to hear what goals they also accomplished. In 2014, we did a lot of fun things we had never done before–including the character...

We like to show our DisneySide at home with fun wall art.

What you need to know about Disney’s PhotoPass+
February 3, 2015 in All Posts, disneyland resort, photography, Tips & Tricks for Families
You most likely already know about Disney’s PhotoPass at the Disneyland Resort, but what about Disney’s PhotoPass+ ? If you’ve been to Disneyland than you’ve seen the photography Cast Members stationed at several locations throughout the parks, like right in front of the castle for instance, and if you’ve stopped for a picture then you were handed a Disney’s PhotoPass card that carries all of your pictures on it (or if you’re like me, you forget to reuse the first one, but end up with about 7 PhotoPass cards by the end of the trip!). All you have to do is go...
