Universal Studios Hollywood This Summer

It sure was a nice break from the heat wave. We have been several times before with the children, and every time it feels different. Each time they’re a little older, a little wiser, a little braver, and they enjoy revisiting their favorite attractions to make new memories.

Disney Lunar New Year Celebration Dining/Entertainment Guide

Written in collaboration with Disneyland. All opinions are my own. LUNAR NEW YEAR is one of the most celebrated holidays among Asian cultures.
