We hadn’t planned on it, but we decided to try Chef Mickey’s breakfast buffet at our hotel, Disney’s Hollywood Hotel. Chef Mickey offers a buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, but since we had an early flight we decided to squeeze in just a bit more of that Disney magic with some breakfast. Breakfast is also the cheapest of … Continue reading
For our Hong Kong Disneyland vacay, the hubby and I decided on staying at Disney ‘s Hollywood Hotel. Not only did it have an amazing price point, but also a beautiful 1920s Hollywood deco theme. However, this didn’t mean we had no interest in checking out the other hotels. In fact, we decided to make lunch … Continue reading
Unlike most of our trips, our trip to Hong Kong was short (but sweet) with Hong Kong Disneyland being our primary reason for visiting. Researching this trip wasn’t as easy as I though it was going to be. Surprisingly, there isn’t a whole lot of current info on the park in English and the stuff … Continue reading

Actually, it was just part of the larger 2 week Pokémon Festa event in Korea, which included Pikachu parades, pop-up shops, card tournaments and stamp rallies to promote the … Continue reading
It’s a standing tradition anytime I’m back in California, I take my baby sister out for some afternoon tea. It was a special little ritual I started with her back in 2013, when I returned to California from Korea for the first time. Granted I’m not able to make the trip back as often as … Continue reading
Heading back to LA is always a special treat for the boyfriend and myself. It’s not often that we get to go back home for a visit, so we were really excited. Unfortunately, tickets to LA are not exactly the cheapest, so to save ourselves some money we opted for a 7 hour layover in … Continue reading
“Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.” Gyeongbokgung is probably my favorite place in Korea. I mean, it’s a real life piece of history right in the middle of Seoul and you can simply stroll through it whenever you want (during open hours of course). … Continue reading
