By now you have likely heard the news that the Disneyland Resort has raised ticket prices on virtually all of its admission offerings and stopped selling new Southern California Annual Passports. (Existing passholders can still renew and get the So Cal passport.) No one likes paying more for stuff, including me. That being said, I am not angry about the price hike and here’s why. 1.

This week, we were asked what our favorite place to shop in Downtown Disney is… I always pop into WonderGround Gallery when I pass through the Downtown Disney District. It’s so interesting to see favorite Disney characters, films and icons through the eyes of the up-and-coming artists whose work is showcased there. It’s my favorite spot to pick up a unique souvenir—from home décor and knickknacks, to clothing and works of art. I’ve also enjoyed attending the artist signing events, where I got some amazing pieces autographed and was able to chat with the talented artists in person. The...

This week, we were asked if there was anything we wanted to do at the Disneyland Resort that we had never done… Something I’ve never done at the Disneyland Resort but would love to do is spend New Year’s Eve in the theme parks. My husband and I talked about it before our son came along, but we never got around to planning a trip. I’m always reading about the special entertainment and fireworks offered, and I think it would be so much fun to ring in the New Year at The Happiest Place on Earth while fireworks burst...
