Favorite Spots

I love to travel and am fortunate enough to do it quite often. Here is a top five list of my favorite places around California!

5. Coming in at number 5 is Yosemite! I grew up going to Yosemite with my dad and my sister every summer and some winters. It is a beautiful place and is a great place to experience nature and is iconic California.

4. Number four is San Francisco. I love San Francisco and the vibes it brings whenever I get to visit. I also love the surrounding towns and sites.

3. San Jose! I make my way up to San Jose as much as possible and will go sometimes four times a year. My cousins live up there so they show me all the cool places to go see when I'm with them.

2. Disneyland. WHAAT?? Disneyland isn't your number one?? Yeah, I know right. I love Disneyland and the environment it brings everywhere. I am so happy to be a part of the community.

1. My number one is Bridgeport. I am in love with this little town. I don't get to go up there as much as I would like, but whenever I do, it is a blast. They have this little food place that has the most amazing shakes and grilled cheese and I can never get enough.

The Curse of Hanger

The Curse of Hanger

The hanger consumes me

It overtakes my mind

I am powerless to the problem

The food is what is hard to find

It always is the same

It starts with a grumble

The curse starts to form

It makes my mind rumble

My mind begins to wonder

Where is the food

I don’t care what it takes

I’ll fight anyone, dude.

Eggstravaganza!

Every springtime for the past couple years, Disney Parks hosts an event that people of all ages can enjoy together to celebrate Easter. This event is called Eggstravaganza! Eggstravaganza is basically an Easter egg hunt around the park - they have three locations: Disneyland Park, California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. You first buy a map at one of the locations and the map shows where each egg is around the park and you follow it around and put the sticker on the marked location on the mark when you find it. Once you finish the hunt, you go back to one of the locations and redeem them for a prize egg! You don't even have to do the egg hunt, once you pay you can just get the prize egg and you can buy them all if you want. It is a super fun hunt for everyone to enjoy! I hope I get to attend before it ends on April 16th.

It's Morphin Time!

The Power Rangers are back and better than ever in the new movie, Power Rangers. It has been over 20 years since the first episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers came to life and changed super heroes forever. Since then there has been 19 spin off series that are continuing their legacy today.
The new revamp of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers translated the television show into a movie. It premiered this last Thursday and has already grossed over $40 million.
Going in I didn't know what to expect. The movie focused much more on character development than action in the minimum time it had, but it made you love all of the rangers the much more. There was a few action scene throughout the movie during training or the rangers discovering their powers, but the main focus was in the last act of the movie. I felt the first two acts were mainly to develop the story and the characters like most movies, while making the movie unique to be different from the show, while the last act brought back all the nostalgic feels of the original. There is a plan to make 5 other movies expanding over the next generation so get buckled for a fun adventure!
Overall, it was a fun new movie that kept me intrigued the entire time! I highly recommend it for all ages for families to enjoy together. (PS go pee before because it is a long movie!)

Disneyland Favorites

It is no joke that I go to Disneyland Resort quite often. Over the many times I've been to able to go, I've experienced many foods, attractions, and entertainment. Here are some of my favorite parts of the resort.

First off, food! I love almost everything at the parks. 

Favorite snack: the famous churro which you can find anywhere in either park.

Favorite food: chicken fusilli at Pizza Port in tomorrowland.

Favorite drink: The dole whip float in front of the tiki room.

Attractions!

Favorite ride: Haunted Mansion at New Orleans Square.

Favorite show: Frozen Live! at the Hyperion.

Favorite parade: Paint the Night Parade (which is currently not running as of January 2017).

Park favorite!

Favorite park: Disneyland.

Favorite land: New Orleans Square.

Favorite transportation: Mark Twain Riverboat on the rivers of America (currently not running as of January 2016 but still open for meet and greets).

These are just some of my favorites throughout the park, but there is a lot more that I love. I wish I could share the magic of Disney with everyone!

Main Street Electrical Parade

Yes! Finally the return of the original Main Street Electrical Parade! From now until mid-June you can experience the original electrical parade as it has made its way back to its home park at Anaheim, California in Disneyland. This parade originally premiered June 17th, 1972. That is just about 44 years ago! It's amazing to see what could be done with a little imagination so long ago.

When it was first announced the parade will be returning to its first Main Street, people had mixed emotions. On one hand, it was going to be great to be able to see the parade's final run ever at its home park, but on the other, we were going to lose the Paint the Night parade. Paint the Night is the successor of Main Street Electrical Parade, almost like its more updated child. It is quite an upgrade and many fans were mad at the loss of this updated parade, given to Disneyland for its 60th birthday in 2015, for an outdated parade.

Comparing the two is like comparing an iPhone 3G to an iPhone 7. Sure it's a classic and started a revolution, but it's old and outdated and has been replaced but a better model. It's just that the music, floats, and the movies the floats are based off of are old and not as relevant as the newer floats and music in PtN.

I was lucky enough to see the public opening night of the parade for both of the parades. With PtN I was entertained all the way through with all the performers, floats, and the amazing soundtrack. With MSEP I was excited at first but slowly got less and less into the parade itself. The most exciting part was the intro and the donkey-boys with the Pinocchio segment and their crazy choreography. Other than that I was just there to say I was there. I can continue to watch PtN over and over and never get bored, but I think one or two times is enough with MSEP. For the people that say MSEP is better than PtN, watch both live and tell me your thoughts after.

If you have any questions or comments leave them below and tell me what you think about the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade as well as the loss of the Paint the Night parade!
