Vintage Disneyland-themed Party
March 4, 2014 in #disneyside, All Posts, birthday parties, disney at home, personal
As I mention in my post about my Disney Side @Home Party Play Date, I chose to go with a “vintage Disneyland” theme when it comes to Disney, that is what best fit both my personality and my home decor. I accomplished the look for my party by using some of the things I already had around the house, my printer and help from my friend Ryan, who is the owner of the ultra chic Tin Parade Party Goods. My tablescape was the most important place where I set the tone for my vintage Disneyland theme. I started with a...

Do you show off your “Disney side?” That has been Disney Parks and Resorts question for 2014 and recently, I along with social media influencers from across the country, were asked to throw Disney Side @Home Parties so that we could show our playful Disney side while away from the Disneyland Resort–our home away from home.I decided to combine two things that are very near and dear to me for my Disney Side party–vintage Disneyland and fun party games. I know those seem a bit random, but let me explain: I love everything vintage Disneyland. I have a house...

This past Sunday (February 23, 2014), I attended the first of two Dapper Days planned for the Disneyland Resort this year with my husband and it certainly exceeded our expectations! After reading how much fun Lisa had at the 2013 Spring Dapper Day with her family, I knew I had to add this outing to my list of Disneyland firsts. According to LA Weekly, the event grew from 15,000 to over 20,000 participants decked out from head to toe in their finest gear, as Dapper Day is, according to DapperDay.com, “your chance (to) enjoy your favorite rides and attractions while looking your...

in All Posts, disney at home, disneyland, Jessica, recipes
I’m back with another great Disneyland recipe to share, and yet again it’s a keeper! I’ve got to say, I’ve been holding off on trying this one because “bran muffin” just doesn’t have that “ooh-yum-gotta-make-it-now” ring to it, at least to me. And honestly, I was prepared to call this my first flop and throw it out. But no! Disneyland surprised me again with a totally do-able, delicious breakfast treat! Here it is: Disneyland’s Bran Muffin Recipe (Original) Ingredients: yields 18* muffins 1 lb. 11 oz. Bran flakes 35 fl. oz. Whole milk 18 fl. oz Vegetable oil 3...
Expert tips and hacks for families heading to the Disneyland Resort

I remember my first trip to the Disneyland Resort as a parent like it was yesterday. We planned, prepared and packed for days. My excitement and anticipation was through the roof. And even though I spent more than five years working as a tour guide and writer for the Resort, that first trip as a mommy will go down as one of the most memorable days of my life. Since that first trip, we have had two more sons and hundreds of visits to the Parks, and the key to more fun and less stress is to travel smarter...

Personalized Leather Bracelets – A Disneyland Resort Must-Have
in All Posts, disneyland resort, Kendra, merchandise, vacation planning
It’s no secret that I L-O-V-E to make each and every one of my Disneyland Resort trips extra magical in some way, shape, or form. As I’ve mentioned previously, this can be accomplished in many different ways such as: booking a character dining experience, ordering/ wearing something personalized, or taking a special photo to mark the occasion. I’m often on the hunt for that extra special souvenir- one that is unique and that will be useful or wearable long after the trip is over. I believe I may have found the perfect combination in my most recent purchase- a personalized...
