Sour dough bread is rising in popularity especially throughout social media!

In San Fransokoyo in California Adventure, we found Boudin Bakery that specializes in sour dough bread. The “Mother Dough” is over 166 years old and was originally given to Isidore Boudin by a 49er from the Gold Rush. The Mother Dough then flourished in the foggy San Francisco environment and even survived a fire and an earthquake!

We were able to watch the bakers in the many steps of sour dough bread making, and then bought a loaf to eat and another to bring home!

An evening in California Adventure! Here you can find San Fransokyo, Radiator Springs, Avengers Campus, and Pixar Pier!

We watched a bakery tour to learn about making sourdough bread, raced Lightening McQueen, slung spidey web, and met our biggest heroes!

Good morning from Disneyland Park!

Did you know, the castle here is Aurora’s?

Sleeping Beauty’s Castle open in 1955 with the opening of the opening of Disneyland itself. It’s inspired by a castle in Bavaria and you can walk through it making you feel like royalty yourself! It’s only 77 feet tall, making it the smallest of the Disney castles. But the magic is still enormous!

My littlest and I are headed to Disneyland in California this week! Thats right, I’m venturing away from Disney World and experiencing something new!

Here’s my travel mom hack: SNACK-le box!

I bought this container at an art supplies store. The portions are perfect for mid flight snacks and you can have a variety for the kids! Also it fits perfectly in my carryon, and it IS allowed through TSA (as long as you don’t put liquids in there)!

Follow this week for Disneyland updates and experiences!

🎃We have Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party ticket dates and pricing!!🎃

If you were waiting to see the cost before having me purchase your tickets, contact me and I can let you know!

If you are going to Disney World during this time and aren’t going to the party, it is still good to know the dates because Magic Kingdom will be closing early on those days. (And is yet another reason it’s great to have Park Hopper tickets - MK crowd levels are lower on party days, so you can go there during the day then hop to another park in the evening!)

For clients who have already reached out to me, I am getting your tickets now and will be in touch!

Ready to plan your spooky season trip? It’s easy! Start here with me!

Climbing the last bit of stairs to El Yunque peak!

Not as torturous as waiting for my next vacation. 👀

Let me help you get to where you want to go!

12/03/2024

Just landed home a few hours ago and I’m already dreaming of my next cruise! 🥰

Also PROTIP: the extra cost is SO worth having the ship wash and fold your laundry for you. Nothing like coming home and not having to jump straight into chores. 😍

We spent the day in Aruba! We went sailing in a catamaran and snorkeled through the coral. Ending with grilled lobster and champagne. 🤤🥰

03/03/2024

Nothing like watching the sunrise on your balcony in the middle of the Caribbean.

I’m leaving for an adventure today!

Tomorrow I set sail on Virgin Voyages, an adult only cruise line that features amazing food, bold entertainment, and beautiful ships founded by Sir Richard Branson. We’ll be visiting Aruba, Curaçao, Martinique, and St. Kitts and Nevis.

And rumor has it RB himself will be joining on our sailing… 👀

It’s National Gingerbread House day!

Did you know that there's a life-size gingerbread house at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa each Christmas?

For over 20 years, the magical pastry elves at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa have whisked, baked, and decorated to create the magical gingerbread house that warms guests’ hearts and tempts their taste buds. Sweet smells of ginger and sugar fill the lobby of the hotel every holiday season, as this larger-than-life house is constructed. But, while it’s always a sight to behold (and quite a whiff to sniff), there’s more to all that sugar than meets the eye.

❄️The gingerbread house stands 14 feet tall, using more than 60 sheets of plywood in its foundation, which is the first part of the house to be built.
❄️ With 1,000 feet of trim, this molasses mansion stretches 100 square feet.
❄️ You’ll find white chocolate candy canes, edible snowflakes, sugar poinsettias, and over 10,000 pieces of gingerbread
❄️It takes 1,050 pounds of honey, 700 pounds of chocolate (Anna and Elsa would be reeling), 600 pounds of confectioner’s sugar, and 35 pounds of spices to create the structure.
❄️ 500 hours spent baking gingerbread and 480 hours spent decorating!
❄️ The ingredients include 800 pounds of flour mixed with 140 pints of egg whites.
❄️ Be on the lookout for the 24 hidden Mickeys found throughout the entire display to see if you can find them all!

Don't forget: you can bring some holiday goodness with you home when you leave the hotel! The house doubles as a sweet shop, where gingerbread cookies, shingles, ornaments, and cookie bags are available to take home.

(You’ll also find these amazing gingerbread houses on the Disney Cruise Line Ships! This one is from the Disney Dream this November!)

It’s so nice to have hugs and autographs back!
