Birthday Celebration at Disneyland

April 24, 2016November 27, 20162,248 Comments

Every year we designate a December and January visit to Disneyland for both of our boys’ birthdays. On these particular visits, they get to pick out what rides we hit and get any treats they want…wait, they do that every visit?! HA! My youngest turned 7 this year so we visited the park in late January to celebrate his day. On our way to the park, I like to tweet @disneylandtoday for a fun little birthday shout out that makes my kids’ day.

Happy Birthday tweet from @disneylandtoday for my birthday boy!

Hayden is one of the pickiest kids you may ever meet. The only treats he wants from Disneyland are Mickey shaped soft pretzels, Mickey cake pops, hot dogs and macaroni & cheese, all depending on his mood. This particular visit he wanted a Mickey pretzel as soon as we got to the park. Mickey pretzels can be found at Pretzel Carts located all throughout the park. They also sell a side of nacho cheese at an additional cost or cream-cheese filled pretzels. Continue reading →

Cozy Cone Motel at Cars Land

I wanted to share some of my favorite snacks from Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park. It is such a fun little spot for a snack pit stop! There are 5 giant cones that offer snacks such as “Route” beer floats, churro bites, pretzel bites, flavored popcorn, soft serve ice cream, and chili “cone” queso. In front of the cones is Sally’s Cozy Cone Motel lobby where you will find Lightening McQueen, Mater and Red from the movie Cars hanging out for photo opportunities.

Back to the snacks, the churro bites cannot be missed. They are served in a classic orange cone and come with a slightly spicy chocolate dipping sauce. We recently tried the Oreo Cookies N Cream churro, which was a chocolate churro filled with cream filling. Yum!

What is fun about the different cones, is they often have special treats they are offering for a limited time, such as the Cookies N Cream churro. At the Chili Cone they have a macaroni and cheese with bacon served in a bread cone. I hope it becomes a permanent snack! Continue reading →

Weekend in LA – Part 4

Ice cream was a definite theme to our weekend in LA and there was an abundance of options to choose from. We were in Mid-City and stopped in at Sweet Rose Creamery. Sweet Rose Creamery offers a wide range of classic ice cream flavors as well as seasonal flavors.

You could get your ice cream in a cup, cone, or if you were feeling wild, they offer an affogato. Affogato is an espresso shot poured over a scoop of ice cream. Sweet Rose Creamy also serves Caffe Luxxe coffee and a selection of tea from The Art of Tea. Continue reading →

Christmas Time at Disneyland – Pooh Corner

November 25, 2015November 27, 20162,006 Comments

Christmas time at Disneyland is so magical and something we all deserve to experience. Being annual pass holders, we are fortunate enough to get to experience all of the different seasons at the park. Each October I always announce how much I love Halloween time at the park, but once we move on to Christmas, I suddenly cannot pick a favorite.

We were there right after Halloween and when I left the parks I was ready to decorate my house for Christmas. Between the decor, music and snow at night you can’t help but feel like Christmas is right around the corner, Thanksgiving what?!

Once we step off of the Winnie the Pooh ride in Critter Country, my kids run straight into Pooh Corner for a treat. I never seem to mind, since it is my favorite candy shop between both parks. During their Christmas season, they have so many adorable Holiday treats that it is hard to decide, so I end up grabbing a few.
