I received media passes for our visit, but all opinions are my own. Today I am sharing the ultimate guide to Universal Studios Hollywood so you can enjoy it like a pro, and take in everything possible! First of all, you will want to get your Universal Studios Hollywood 2018 Tickets! And you can stay at a preferred hotel and you will get early admission to the park! A couple of weeks ago I was able to go back to Universal Studios Hollywood. I had such a great time (without my kids) and I ...
California
A pixie-dust filled day spent celebrating Pixar Fest at Disneyland!
My trip was provided by Disney. All opinions are my own. Earlier this week I spent a pixie-dust filled day Celebrating Pixar Fest at Disneyland!

I am excited to share everything Pixar with you today so you can see how fun it all is, and plan a trip of your own to experience it. Pixar Fest at Disneyland only goes ...
Planning a road trip through California
California isn't too far from us, and we have access to all sorts of fun things like Disneyland and Universal Studios Resort. While we love visiting places like that – our favorite thing to do is visit places like beaches and national parks. I recently found out that California has nine national parks. It sparked my interest so I have been researching what the best national parks in California are because I am now planning a trip through California. I have been to California a lot, and even w ...
Disneyland Holiday Visit + the updated Star Tours – The Adventure Continues ride #TheLastJediEvent
I just got back from an incredible weekend in LA for the press junket for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. We started the weekend off by going to Disneyland for the Festival of Holidays. I have been there a couple times before, and I have to tell you, that this is my favorite!!! Everywhere you look it is decked out with beautiful Christmas decor. Not only the Christmas decorations have me running to the entrance to see how amazing it looks - but also the fact that they have updated the Star Tours - The ...
La Jolla Cove in San Diego
While I was in San Diego for PBS Kids at the PBS Annual Meeting, I was able to visit La Jolla Cove. I have wanted to go there for a long time, but I have only been to San Diego once in the last 25 years and we just weren’t able to make it happen last time I was there. I was NOT disappointed! What a great stop. If you are in San Diego (area) this is a MUST-SEE stop! You can walk out on the beach, stay up on the sidewalks, or go down on the rocks. Any place you chose, you will have a great v ...
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood #WizardingWorldHollywood
I was provided media tickets in order to do this review. All opinions are my own. A couple of weeks ago I was able to visit Universal Studios Hollywood. It was my first time there since they have finished the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter and I couldn't wait to explore it. There is a lot to experience (food, drinks, rides) and the whole environment is truly magical! This is a great place to spend a day (or two or three) and discover everything. We are sharing more about the ...

Visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco
Another fun part of my trip to San Francisco was visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum. (You can read about Tour of Pixar Studios and our Tour of Pixar Studios, and the Pixar Archives) I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have been so many different museum's in my time, and so I figured I knew what it would be like. I was wrong. The Walt Disney Family Museum in short, is incredible. They have integrated so many tech things into it that it makes it not only educational but entertaining. Are those ...
My trip to PIXAR Studios to meet The Good Dinosaur #GoodDinoEvent
A couple of weeks ago (I can't believe that it has been that long already!) I was able to go on an amazing trip to San Francisco. For part of that trip we were able to go to the PIXAR Studios (the ACTUAL home of wonderful creation) and get a lot of behind the scenes sneak peaks. It was one of the coolest things I have ever done! I not only got to get a tour of the different buildings and the grounds (which ROCK!) but I also got to go behind the scenes of The Good Dinosaur Movie that comes out ...
The beginnings of Toy Story and a tour of the PIXAR Archives
On my trip to San Francisco, we were able to to do a lot of amazing things (like visit Google HQ), and tour the PIXAR campus and learn more about The Good Dinosaur, but being able to visit the PIXAR Archives to learn more about TOY STORY was incredible. We were the first public tour they (PIXAR Archives) has ever had - so it was really a privilege. I can not begin to tell you how cool this was. We got to see original drawings from the artists, 3-D models, photos and many other timeless pieces ...
