My family is a bunch of science geeks who would spend an entire afternoon watching The Science of Disney Imagineering DVDs. That is if I would let them sit all afternoon and watch them. I know I have mentioned these DVDs before, but I have a specific direction in mind with this. Audio Animatronics. This…

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage Opens June 11, 2007
I have a secret. I don’t like it when attractions close. I know that the parks are always changing and won’t ever really be finished; however, it’s hard to see an attraction close. It’s almost like a part of the family leaving. The Submarine Voyage is one of those attractions that held a special place…
Our Recent Family Trip to Disneyland
A few weeks ago my brother and his fiancé were in town during a long weekend off from school, so what did we do? We went to Disneyland of course! Me and my two kids went (poor hubby had to work), along with my sister and her husband, and of course my brother and his…
One Man’s Hero
While we were in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, our family stopped by Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream. It wasn’t really a planned stop, at least not at the time. We were heading for Toy Story Mania. When we found out that it was down, we decided to spend our time in Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream…
Disney’s PhotoPass and PhotoPass Plus: A Great Option for Great Photos
In our family, I’m the one that has taken and documented our girls’ lives in photographs since they were born. My husband has always been the one with the video camera until our oldest daughter discovered her video making skills. I had to always remember to make sure that I was in some of those…
Tales From a Disneyland First-timer

App Review: Disneyland Explorer
There are few things that I like more than a cool app for my iPad 2…except for one thing: a cool DISNEY app for my iPad. So, when I got wind of the new Disneyland Explorer app by way of Twitter, I had to see and try it for myself! Firstly, the Disneyland Explorer app…
Disneyland bound!
We are going to spend one day at Disneyland! That being said, I have to say that we have never, ever been there. Now, let me clarify just a little….my hubby and I have been to WDW in excess of 14 times since we have been married, and we are well acquainted with the…
Paradise Pier Hotel – Theme Park View Family Suite
When we planned our trip, we made our reservation for a Theme Park view. The view was a high priority so that my son would be able to watch World of Color from the room. Yes, we did know that the animation is not visible from the back, but being out of the crowds was…
Trip of the lifetime on the Lilly Belle
I had heard that people could ride on the Lilly Belle during the Year of a Million Dreams at Disneyland; however, I was never able to on my two trips during that time frame. When my family and I went to Disneyland last week, I half-heartedly asked at the Guided Tours kiosk if we could…
