When I first received the email inviting me to a press event in San Francisco, I was surprised to know that Walt Disney had a whole museum dedicated to his life, his family and his fantastic career. Visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum was saved for day 3, the last thing on our agenda during the Disney/Pixar Event last month but it was the most memorable. Opened in 2009, the beautiful Walt Disney Family museum sits on the old grounds of a military base in the Presidio of San Francisco … [Read more...]

Day Two of the Disney/Pixar event was even more magical than the day before. Like I said before, Disney/Pixar had a jam-packed schedule for the bloggers on Day Two and we were ready to take it on! Upon arriving at the Pixar Studios for the second time (lucky us!), we were treated to a wonderful breakfast in the atrium. After our breakfast, we were divided into two groups; Clan Dingwalls and Clan McGuffins. I was in group Clan McGuffin. Check him out below: During this time, we … [Read more...]

Chimpanzee, Disneynature's 4th movie, opened this past Friday in theaters everywhere and guess what? Chimpanzee made over TEN MILLION DOLLARS in one solid weekend! Incredible!

So You Think You Can Bagpipe? #DisneyPixarEvent
April 15, 2012 by 3 Comments
This was one of the activities Disney/Pixar had planned for us while touring Pixar Studios. We learned everything there is to know about bagpipes -- from the history, to the music and even the various songs you can play. Since we inhaled so much information in a short amount of time, I thought it would be a good idea to get my Flip Cam out and record it instead. I know the video is long (not too bad - 4-1/2 minutes) but it's well worth it. Enjoy! Disclosure: Disney provided me with an … [Read more...]

April 12, 2012 by 6 Comments
Last week, I attended the Disney/Pixar Press Event in sunny San Francisco and it still feels like a dream. As I look at all the photos I took, my mind is going a mile a minute from all that we did in just three short days. DAY ONE: Upon my arrival at SFO (San Francisco Airport), I met with other bloggers in a van to head straight to our "home" for the next few days, Hotel Palomar. Once we got to the hotel, I couldn't wait to visit Pixar Studios but thank goodness we had about an hour to … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday: Pixar Studios #DisneyPixarEvent
April 4, 2012 by 3 Comments
I'm in San Francisco today and because of the time difference, I almost forgot today was Wednesday. I'm not feeling too well. I either have allergies or a head cold so my nose is stuffed and my ears are clogged, thanks to the plane descending. I hear everything muffled and I'm a bit miserable. But before I keep rambling on, here's my photo of the week! Enjoy! … [Read more...]
