Summer Fun at Universal Studios Hollywood

by lovestalgia July 27, 2018

Last week, our family had the opportunity to visit Universal Studios Hollywood to experience some of their family-friendly fun attractions. We were given tickets to check out the summer time attractions but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

It had been YEARS since I’ve been to Universal Studios Hollywood and it was way different than I remembered. I honestly thought that my 5 year old wouldn’t have that much fun there because the rides seem more geared towards older kids and adults but there were plenty of things for us to do! We had such an fun time!!

Guide to the Best Instagrammable Walls at Pixar Pier

by lovestalgia July 2, 2018

Pixar Pier is now open at Disney California Adventures! Along with new attractions, food, and merchandise there are so many AMAZING Instagrammable Walls at Pixar Pier!! I’m sure you’ve seen many pictures of the pier in the past few weeks. Today I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite photo spots!

Entrance to Pixar Pier

The Pixar Pier sign is such an beautiful backdrop for pictures. You can take a picture as you enter the pier or as you exit to get the “Adventure Is Out There” signage. If you come at rope drop, you can take advantage of an empty pier. But even with people on the pier, your pictures will still look amazing because this sign is so colorful!
