The Disneyland Resort has responded to the mega-success of Disney’s “Frozen” in a very big way. Beginning today, January 7th, the Disneyland Resort will officially be even “cooler” with the official launch of “Frozen Fun.” The all new immersive experiences span both Parks and Downtown Disney and are truly incredible. My family and I had the opportunity to visit and enjoy the fun on the first preview day, and while not all of the offerings were open, we loved what we saw and cannot wait to visit the Disneyland Resort again for more Frozen Fun adventures.

If you’ve got a little one who hates those automatic flush toilets at the Disneyland Resort, pack some Post Its in your bag for your next visit! I’m sure you are thinking that I’ve lost my marbles, but just stay with me. Simply puts one over the sensor before your little one takes a seat (or hovers) and no more flushing toilet until you are ready for it to flush!

One of the highlights of any celebration at the Disneyland Resort is always the foods. For me, I’m partial to the desserts. The Three Kings Day celebration at the Disneyland Resort offers many incredible latin inspired food offerings, one of which is the bunuelos. On the first day of The Three Kings Day, I was given the opportunity to join Chef Toby as he taught me how to make this sweet treat. Even better, he shared the recipe so that you can make Bunuelos Navidenos at home. Bunuelos Navidenos is a fairly easy to make dessert that can be...

As a game-loving family we were thrilled when Wonder Forge asked us to review their game Pictopica Disney Edition. We had a blast playing as a family and recommend this game for ages 7 and older. That being said, although game play may be too difficult for younger children, our 4-year-old was able to answer a lot of the questions and worked with me to play and got really wrapped up in the fun. In this trivia games, players take turns being the host and asking the questions. Other players “wager” coins valued 1 to 5 (spaces on the...
