Radiator Springs ~Standby or Single Rider ?

Radiator Springs Racers was at the top of our must do rides and we were not disappointed!

You can see the lines for standby on the right and the single rider is completely open

We jumped in the single rider line which meant we didn’t ride together but we were all able to ride it several times in a short amount of time.

Definitely the way to go if you don’t want to wait in the 60 min lines ! Check out our reel below to see our clips of the ride✨

Starwars Transport to Disneyland…Unique Opportunity ⭐️

What an amazing treat! We had the opportunity to fly on the special Star Wars Transport to Disneyland from Alaska Airlines ⭐️



Not only did the porgs fly on the winglets but we also watched as the sun was rising .. absolutely amazing and we were completely geeking out ! So cool!


A huge thank you to @friendlikemisty for the heads up about the special plane ⭐️
.
If you are wanting to try to find the plane to book your own “Star Wars” adventure, call Alaska and tell them the plane registration number is N538AS. You can find where it’s going next by using flight-tracking website Flightradar24.
.
And if you book a @disneyland flight through @alaskaair then be on the lookout … you may be flying in this one of a kind plane ⭐️⭐️⭐️

American Girl Doll, california, Disneyland, family adventures, Review

American Girl Doll Store ~Los Angeles ~Review

American girl just released their Disney Doll Collection and it was perfect timing with our trip to Disneyland. We knew we needed to plan a detour here to not only visit the flagship store but also to treat our little to some Disney Magic for her doll . She loved it all!

After checking out the whole store, she was able to narrow down her choices and pick a beautiful new Cinderella dress for her doll to wear for Disneyland ✨It was so much fun! Have you seen these sets? They are so beautiful and come with so many unique accessories. They are $55 each set and considering the quality and the accessories I feel like it’s a great deal . The dolls are $125 each but again such a great value for what you are getting!

Our little has been on her own agenda with wanting to visit all the @americangirlbrand stores when we travel and so Los Angeles ofcourse was on her list! The Los Angeles store is located in Westfield Century City and is absolutely beautiful! .The mall is in the heart of Los Angeles so grab coffee before driving there as traffic is almost always crazy. This past year we also visited the Nashville and Washington DC stores.


There are two floors ..the main floor is where the salon and shopping is . And the salon has ear piercing and hairstyles for both the girl and their doll. There is also pet pampering too!!

Check out our reel ⬇️

The second floor is the cafe where you can have brunch, lunch or our favorite Teatime❤️

Have you visited the American Girl Doll store in Los Angeles? What did you think? We would love to hear your thoughts on it so comment below ⬇️

Teacups at Disneyland

“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “It’s very easy to take more than nothing.”
.
One of the best rides…ever!

Disney Photo Shoot Ideas for Senior Pics

My son had his own personal photo shoot right in the middle of Galaxy’s Edge which was so cool!!


We were doing his Senior Trip @disneyland and knew we wanted some of his Senior pics taken there. Thanks to the amazing PhotoPass Photographers Team @disneyland that made that dream a reality. The Photographers were so creative and had lots of ideas to bring the pics to life! We loved how they stayed in character as they did the photoshoot.

Here are the details on the photopass⬇️

⭐️ It is part of the Genie ➕.. so for around $30 a day you get all day pics ,lightening lane on select attractions and audio tales from behind the scenes including fun facts of the park . Definitely the best value!

Or

⭐️ Another option … for around $25 a day you can purchase the photo pass .

This is such a fun way to take special pics and either option is so affordable!!

Have you ever thought of taking special photos like this at Disney? Or have you? Let us know in the comments!

Check out the finished results ⬇️

Pixar Place Hotel

Entrance to the Pixar Place Hotel

Pixar Place Hotel is only a few months old but is absolutely beautiful! . It opened in January 2024 and was originally the Paradise Pier Hotel.
.

The hotel is full of art and sketches of some of your favorite Pixar characters. There are hidden Mickeys in the ceiling lights and hidden Pixar characters added to the floors .. so look up and down as you venture through on your way to the parks . There is also an “Up” inspired elevator .. so cool!


The Pixar Place Hotel is also one of the more affordable Disneyland Hotels so what’s not to like? Beautiful, fun and affordable! Oh and it has its own secret entrance into California Adventure..yay!!


Let us know if you have stayed here and your thoughts! Did you love the remodel into Pixar theme or miss the Paradise one?
