Resort Updates – July 2024
It’s August! Halloween season is just weeks away now, but I’m soaking up the last bits of summer for as long as I can (even if all the stores have moved on to back to school & all things Halloween!).

Resort Updates – June 2024
I can’t believe it’s already July. Summer is flying by and I’m trying my best to savor it before the fall and Halloween and then the holidays come crashing in.

Now that April is here, we’re definitely in full spring mode in California.

March at the happiest place on earth was busy – and not just because of the crowds. Construction continues […] Read more…
Resort Updates – February 2024
It’s March folks! And for me, that means I’m ready for spring and sunnier weather…even if the official first day of spring is still more than two weeks away. March also means the Disneyland Resort’s refurbishment season is winding down, and I have to say, this was one of the quietest months I’ve seen at […] Read more…
Resort Updates – January 2024
Hello there friends! I hope you had a lovely start to the new year. While I was on my usual blogging break, the resort was pretty busy.

Resort Updates – September 2023
Now that it’s October, Disneyland is in the home stretch of one of my favorite seasons of the year. In “normal life” I really don’t care that much about Halloween, but the park knows how to get even indifferent Halloween fans like me into the spirit.
