Dine with Princesses at Ariel’s Grotto

2014-09-19T07:00:00-04:00September 19, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

If you have young daughters, no trip to a Disney park would be complete without visiting the Princesses. At the Disneyland resort in California, one great way to meet a lot of Princesses at one time is to make a dining reservation at Ariel’s Grotto – located in Disney California Adventure. Ariel’s Grotto is a fun, beach themed restaurant that looks over Paradise Pier. There is indoor and outdoor seating (be sure to note your request if you have a preference). They do utilize a group seating method where they start seating the entire restaurant at once, so while we [...]

Death Match 2014

2014-06-13T07:00:00-04:00June 13, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

PRE-TRIP REPORT About a year ago, I got a great idea for a road trip. I'd take my kids, fly from my hometown of Houston TX , to San Diego CA, and then drive from San Diego to Oakland. We'd stop and see all the sights along the way, and then fly home from Oakland. Then I asked my friend Gina, who lives in California, if she'd like to come along. With her kids. She agreed, and Death Match 2014 was born. Two ladies and seven kids, for a 15-day road trip up the California coast. We plan to visit [...]

Celebrating Love at Disneyland

2014-05-12T07:00:00-04:00May 12, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

Our 23rd Anniversary was just a week away. We rarely do anything big and splashy for our anniversary, usually just a special dinner out or at the most, an overnight hotel stay downtown. And besides, this was not even a “special” year like 25th Anniversary or even better, a 50th Golden Anniversary. But who’s to say it’s not special to mark staying married for 23 consecutive years?! Anyway, I was surprised when my husband said, “Let’s go to Disneyland for our Anniversary!” He knew I’d been itching to go to Disneyland for a while. You don’t have to ask me [...]

My Favorite Things (Disneyland Resort)

2014-03-17T07:00:00-04:00March 17, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

I grew up with family in southern California and have visited Disneyland many times. While I love Walt Disney World as well, here are a few of my favorite things about Walt’s original park. Location. The Disneyland resort is only 160 acres (compared to 40 square miles at the Walt Disney World Resort). You can see the entrance of Disney California Adventure from the entrance of the Disneyland Park. Being able to walk from your hotel, to one park and to a second park and then back to your hotel means you don’t have to rent a car or spend [...]
