This year we’ve already seen the the second annual Disney’s California Food and Wine Weekends, and the openings of Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyer Island and the new Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. Coming up, Disney has … Continue reading "Happy Birthday, Disneyland!"

July 8, 2007 by Laura Gilbreath

I’ve been asked about “Tips” for visiting Disneyland…so here’s a few things that I hope will be helpful. 1. Be at the park when it opens.

June 13, 2007 by Laura Gilbreath

Whew…the Finding Nemo event was a whirlwind – it’s hard to believe I was only away from home for a total of 30 hours – it sure seemed a lot longer than that!
