Life is too short to be standing still! Follow me as I visit as many places as I can... food, shopping, destinations!! If that destination includes an Anaheim Ducks hockey game? Well, heck, that's even better.

I was craving Hong Kong style food and found a place called Tasty Box in Diamond Bar, California. It’s a tiny place, and it’s primarily a take out restaurant, but there are some tables outside. They have a limited menu, focusing on roast duck, soy sauce chicken, barbecue […]
We’re still practicing social distancing during this COVID-19 time. Restaurants are not able to provide dine-in service but we are able to dine al fresco. If alcohol is consumed, a meal must be purchased with it. We decided to go south towards San Diego to visit a brewery. […]
Since March, the entire country has been under a self containment plan. People who weren’t considered “essential” worked from home. Finally California started lifting restrictions, and as of Friday, June 19, we entered stage 3. I had the day off and decided to go on a day trip […]
It’s Earth Day, April 22nd to be exact. Unfortunately we can’t do normal things, like go out with friends or family. We’ve been in self containment for a little over a month. It feels so much longer. On March 15, California’s Governor Newsom implemented a Stay at Home […]
It’s back! The Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival is here until April 21st. Foodies can also purchase the Sip and Savor pass to save money on most of the tasting plates. The Sip and Savor Pass is $56, including tax for 8 tasting tabs. Annual Passholders […]
Rise of the Resistance is the newest attraction for both Disneyland and Disney World. It’s a 20 minute attraction that is a mix of character interaction and a ride. *** If you don’t want to see any spoilers… do not read further!! My coworker Todd and I had […]
Our last dinner at Disney World was at the Animal Kingdom Kidani Village. I actually think we saved the best for last. We had to get there from our hotel, and the bus service was delayed due to a tornado watch. The only option to make it was […]
The Festival of the Lion King is a musical show featuring live singers, dancers and acrobatic performers. The show is free, and there is a FastPass, but I splurged on the lunch package from Tiffins, so we had Tier II reserved seats. The show is about a half […]
Animal Kingdom used to not have good food places. It’s changed and I was told to eat at Tiffins. Unfortunately, Tiffins is not cheap. Let’s put it this way, it costs 2 dining credits to eat there. I found out that there was a Lion King package that […]
It’s our 6th and final day at Disney World, and our final theme park is the Animal Kingdom. It’s probably my least favorite of the 4 parks, but it’s also been 6 years since I was last here. We had a morning FastPass for the Kilimanjaro Safari so […]
We had over 20 snack points to use, and we were already on day 5 of our trip. We decided to use up some points at the Festival of the Arts food kiosks. A snack is not limited to a cookie or soft drinks . If you see […]
Second day at Epcot, and this time we’re exploring the front part of the park. We got a FastPass for The Seas with Nemo and Friends. It’s a cute, slow moving ride that educates us about the ocean and sea life. At the end of the ride, guests […]
Walt Disney World has Magical Hours, where guests staying on property can have access to specific parts either before park opening, or after it closes. Tonight, Epcot was selected to be opened 2 hours later from 9:00-11:00 pm. We went back to the hotel to rest, and then […]
After our lunch at Biergarten, we slowly walked around the World Showcase and explored the different countries. Scattered around Epcot were works of arts, celebrating the Festival of the Arts that was being held until February 24. There were recreations of famous paintings in which guests could “be […]
Epcot is the biggest of the 4 Disney World theme parks. it’s so large, they have different openings times for the 2 sections. The front part is Future World, which has the iconic Spaceship Earth sphere, and is currently partially under construction. This front section is more educational, […]
It was a long day for Stephen, and we still had the fireworks show at 8:00 pm. After visiting the Enchanted Tiki Room, we decided to stake out a spot on Main Street and relax until the fireworks show. I remembered that there was a special Photopass Magic […]
By the time we were done with Stephen’s haircut, we had to head over to Liberty Square for our Haunted Mansion FastPass. The Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom is slightly different than the one at Disneyland. For starters, their mansion looks different than the Plantation mansion in […]
