In March, Disney California Adventure changed the The Disney Junior – Live on Stage! show. The Disney Junior – Live on Stage! show has always been a favorite for us. Emma was thrilled to hear Sofia the First and Doc McStuffins joined Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jake and the Never Land Pirates.
This is the perfect show for preschoolers. Even Addie, our 13 month old, loved the lights, sounds, and characters. It’s a great place to sit and take a break while interacting with some of the favorite characters from Disney Junior. Although we loved the old show, the new version is refreshing. Each segment offers a life lesson, while keeping the kids on their toes.
You can find the Disney Junior Live! show in Hollywood Land at California Adventure. The show runs 22 minutes. Get there early. You’ll be sitting on the floor, but the best seating toward the front goes quickly. If you’re sitting too far on the sides, your child won’t be able to interact with the bubbles, streamers, or “gold doubloons.”

We live in Northern California, about a 6 hour drive to Disneyland. For us, it was an easy choice to buy annual passes to Disneyland. After two trips, our passes were paid for. You might be wondering if annual passes are right for you, and if you would save in the long run.
There’s a lot of walking involved when you’re at Disneyland. One of the best ways to avoid those aching feet is to wear comfortable shoes. Even with great shoes, the best of us still get tired of walking, but we want to push on. If your feet start to ache, get off them and rest. There are tons of benches scattered throughout each park if you’d just like to sit and people-watch. There are also several things you can do to get off your feet and still have fun. 
This might seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised at how many people like to sleep in while they’re on vacation. Even when they’re vacationing at a Disney resort.
It seems as if we’ve been on the Jungle Cruise more times than I can count. Because of the colorful personalities of the Cast Members, each time is different. Even though we’ve been on it so many times, I don’t think I could tell you about the route. That is, until recently.
Years ago, friends offered us tickets to Disney On Ice. Emma was just a few months old and we didn’t think she’d last through the opening. Lately, we’ve seen several commercials for Disney On Ice. Dare to Dream has hit the Bay Area and she really wanted to go.
