It’s the most wonderful time of the year… Disneyland Resort is in full holiday mode, and Disney California Adventure is celebrating the Festival of Holidays until January 8th. Throughout the park, there are food stands offering tasting size menus of food celebrated from around the world. Guests and […]
This is a late post, but back in September, Karen and I went to see Barry Manilow in concert. He’s playing at the Westgate Las Vegas through June 2019, and Karen’s brother was given free tickets (which he gave to us). Considering the post before this one was […]
I use the Total Rewards “loyalty” cards from the Caesar’s Entertainment properties, where you earn points for free food, rooms, shows, and for any of their casinos throughout the world. I was in Las Vegas to see Barry Manilow and was able to get a comp’d room at […]
Metallica was playing in Las Vegas the Monday after Thanksgiving. I was able to get seats through Citibank, in section 19, Row H. On the night of the event, we arrived at 5:45pm so we could get in line early for merchandise. Apparently, hundreds of other fans thought […]
On September 18th, Mickey celebrated his 90th birthday, and there were commemorative items at Disneyland available only that day. So, as foolish as we are, we decided to go to Disneyland on that day, only to find out that pretty much everyone thought of doing the same thing. […]

I don’t know about other sports clubs, but the Anaheim Ducks does a lot for their season ticket holders. On October 21, former Mighty Duck Paul Kariya had his number retired up in the rafters. On Monday, October 22nd, the Ducks allowed each season ticket account to get a professionally taken […]
On the Disneyland website, they had information on the Happiest Haunts Tour. It looked interesting, and I figured for $85 it must be a special tour… so I called guest services and grabbed the 1:05 tour for October 21st. As an annual passholder, I did get a discount […]
As a season ticket holder, one of the perks we get is a meet and greet with the Anaheim Ducks players and staff at the annual “Face-off Fest” (formerly known as “Break the Ice”). It used to be a 2 day event, now condensed into a 4-hour event. […]

My agency is participating for the first time in this campaign. What is the Pink […]
Six years ago, we met here for lunch. Porto’s must have amazing food, because our date ended up being a 4 hour meal. To be fair, yes their food is really that good.
Grill em All started off as a gourmet food truck, and they even won season 1 of the Great Food Truck Race. They opened up their brick n mortar in Alhambra, CA, serving up half pound burgers (ie: burgs) naming them after heavy metal people, groups or songs. […]
It’s Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort. Stephen and I wanted to try some of the seasonal goodies that was being offered. On the Disneyland website, they had the breakdown of the goodies, and the locations. We started off at Disney California Adventure (DCA) for the special Oktoberfest […]

It’s Labor Day, and that the official kick off for Apple Season!! Located about an hour and a half from Orange County is Oak Glen, a small community of orchards which grows apples, as well as berries and pumpkin. It was our first time going to Oak Glen, […]
I needed a restaurant that was near the La Mirada AMC 7, and this Peruvian place popped up. It’s located off Imperial and Santa Gertrudes, next door to a Mike’s burger, across the street from a Grocery Outlet strip mall. Upon walking in, the place is dark. We […]
What a hidden gem!! You really do need to know it’s here, as it’s tucked in the back of a strip mall, near a Jack in the Box and sandwiched between a WaBa fast food and Pilates place. On the outside, it looks like a fast food joint, […]
