    Our Honeymoon – Day 2 – From CA to HI

    This is post #2 in my series all about our honeymoon! If you haven’t already, make sure you read day 1 first 🙂 All posts will be listed here! Day 2 – Sunday, February 4 After such a fun-filled (but tiring!) first day at Disneyland, we were ready for more excitement on our second day. We woke up bright and early and left our beautiful villa to drop our luggage off at the front desk. Then it was back over to Disneyland! And we had something super fun to do today – we were taking the Walk in Walt’s Footsteps…

    Walk in Walt’s Disneyland Footsteps Tour Review

    I’m so excited to write today’s post because it’s something completely new and different for us! Today I’m talking about the time we took the Walk in Walt’s Disneyland Footsteps Tour!! Okay, so it’s still SORT OF related to our wedding since we did it on our honeymoon… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Walk in Walt’s Disneyland Footsteps Tour is a guided tour through Disneyland that teaches you all about the history of the park and Walt himself. The tour is about 3-3.5 hours (ours ran a little long) and I believe the full price cost is a little over $100 per person, but since…

    Our Honeymoon – Day 1 – Off to Disneyland!

    Today I am SO thrilled to finally start writing about our fantastic honeymoon to Disneyland and Hawaii! I guess I technically already started writing about it with my Club 33 Review, but I was so excited to write that one that I just couldn’t help myself. But the time has come to write about all of the OTHER fun things we did…and there are a lot! This doesn’t really need any more of an introduction so let’s just dive right in 🙂 Day 0 – Friday, February 2 To begin I’ll actually rewind a bit to start off right where…

    We’re Going on an Alaskan Cruise!!

    Feels like I just wrote a post like this one but I am SO excited to share that we have booked our next Disney Cruise…to ALASKA! That’s right – we loved our Bahamian cruise so much that we decided to book another one right away!! …okay, that’s not EXACTLY how it happened but we did book this one while on board our last cruise 🙂 Here’s the story: my parents have been talking about how they want to go on the Disney Alaskan cruise for…years? Since we went on our first cruise in 2013 probably! We thought it could never…

    We’re Back From Our Disney Cruise!

    We sailed away last week and yesterday we sailed back! We are (sadly) back home from our Disney Cruise and it was such an amazing time! I wrote about this when we booked it but as a refresher – I went with Chris, my best friend Sarah and her boyfriend Grant. We sailed on the Disney Dream from April 23-27 and had THE most wonderful time. It was all of their first time cruising and my second and all of us loved every minute! Some of the amazing food we had on the cruise including that beautiful cheesy potato soup…

    Reflecting on a Year in Guest Relations

    As you may have seen by my recent instagram post, I recently celebrated my one year anniversary of working at Guest Relations! On March 26 of 2017 I began my journey with Guest Relations and it’s been filled with so many great memories already!! I’ve written about my path in GR here on my blog as it has unfolded and it’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole year already. I feel extremely lucky to have a job in which I feel challenged to my fullest potential nearly every day. A lot of people see Guest Relations as “the…

    Beach Club & Chill – Day 7

    This is part of a series about our BFF vacation in May 2017. All the posts about our trip will be listed here! Make sure you read the other posts first 🙂 This one is our last day so it will be pretty photo-heavy! FRIDAY, MAY 26, 2017 We’ve finally reached the last full day of our trip 💔 But we had a lot of fun things to do still so we didn’t let ourselves get sad! We woke up super tired from the day before…this pic of Teddy accurately represents how we felt: Ana literally jumped out of bed at the mention of a Nutella waffle for…

    We’re Going on a Cruise!!

    Just wanted to do a quick life update amongst all the wedding posts – we’re going cruising next month!!! I am SO excited!!!!!!! It’s going to be of course Chris and myself, but we will also be joined by the fabulous Sarah, star of the Beach Club & Chill series, and her boyfriend Grant! Chris and I had requested off the whole week for my birthday because we’re doing some of the Star Wars RunDisney races the weekend before, and we figured we would want to do something for my birthday as well. We had been eyeing the idea of…

    Wedding DIY: FastPass Table Numbers

    I’ve mentioned before that I didn’t consider our wedding to be a “DIY wedding” until I realized how many things we ACTUALLY made ourselves. I think one of the easiest things to DIY for a wedding is paper products. If you have any experience with graphic design (like I do, from all the livejournal icon contests I entered in the mid 2000s), photoshop, and access to a nice printer, you can do a lot of it yourself. The main reason I decided to design a lot of our stuff myself is because I had an image in my head of…

Today I’m telling you all about what it was like to dine inside Disneyland’s Club 33!! I had to check to make sure that I was allowed to…
