Updated January 14, 2026 It’s the age old question: Where do I find some sort of liquid remedy to tolerate these screaming children? Well, maybe not an age old question, but one that is asked of me enough times to write a post about it. I’ve done the research, friends. And, I went to LSU, so…
Updated March 6, 2020 I’m constantly asked how I photograph Disneyland with such few people in my photos. First, I have very limited photography skills, I typically use an Iphone 6+ and I usually just wander the park with no real agenda or plan. So, I suggest doing the same if you have the means…
Updated March 6, 2020 Also just added – links to items for HOT days at Disneyland in this post. I’m not sure how we functioned as a society before Amazon (especially Prime), but I hear that we all did just fine. It’s not a world I want to live in again, though. I’ve listed 10ish…

Reality: It won’t be perfect. Being thoroughly prepared is your best protection against disaster, but disappointments are inevitable. Knowing how to deal with frustrations at…

And, while simply purchasing a park entry ticket will suffice for an amazing day of fun, there are several add-ons that I find are totally worth the…
Updated November 24, 2025 My husband might not believe I’m admitting to this, but I have made a few mistakes over the years.
