#Disney100 Celebration has begun— to celebrate 1

#Disney100 Celebration has begun— to celebrate 100 years of The Walt Disney Company! One of my favorite things has been seeing the beautiful and glamorous outfits the characters have been wearing in platinum and purple!

I was able to get video of some of them in their fabulous outfits during the meet and greets in Town Square.

Ask a Cast Member if there is a certain character you must meet. They start in the morning (which is probably the best time to see them), take a break during the cavalcade and band performances and have some more during the afternoon/evening.

I used to feel pretty awkward with character interactions by myself 🤣 because I usually meet them with my child and she loves them. Hahaha but the characters are so fun and it can be quite fun even as an adult!

As always- be kind to CMs if the character line is long and they cut the line for that meet n greet time- they’ll be out again later. ☺️

Do you like meeting characters at Disney? #disneyland

Sharing with you some of the food we tried (so far

Sharing with you some of the food we tried (so far) at the Lunar New Year Celebration at DCA!

👍🏻 Dak Bulgogi - Paradise Garden Grill- Sip and Savor portion- I thought the flavor was really good and the Kimchi had the right amount of sour/spicy flavor
👍🏻 Kimchi Bokkeumbap- Paradise Garden Grill- Sip and Savor portion- the rice was a little mushy but the flavor was good. The tofu pieces on top were the star of this dish.
👍🏻 Tiger Milk Boba- Paradise Garden Grill- loved it last year and this year. Boba is soft and it’s delicious.
👎🏻 Shrimp Lo Mein- Paradise Garden Grill- only full size portion available. The noodles were really soft and mushy. The flavor was bland and I was not impressed.
👍🏻 Garlic Noodles- Longevity Noodle Co.- loved it last year and it’s just as good this year.
👍🏻 Pork & Shrimp Wontons- Wrapped With Love- loved it, too much of the black garlic dipping sauce will make it too salty
👎🏻 Pepperoni Bao Buns- Prosperity Bao & Bun- mediocre at best. Mostly dough and I couldn’t taste any pepperoni in the bao.
👍🏻 Mandarin Mousse Cake- Lucky 8 Lantern- it’s cute and tasty!
👍🏻 Dalgona Coffee Bundt Cake- Cappuccino Cart- I personally liked this a lot. The cake and sweet cream filling was good but the Dalgona Foam on top is very strong and bitter so eat it in moderation unless you really like bitter coffee flavors.

Sip and Savor pass is $45 or $42 for Magic Key holders and can be used at festival booths and for some food items at Paradise Garden Grill and a few other locations. It’s worth it if the item you’re getting is $7-$7.50 or more.

Will you be trying any of these food items? You have until 2/15! #disneylunarnewyear #disneyeats #disneyfoods

We love celebrating the first day of Lunar New Yea

We love celebrating the first day of Lunar New Year at Disney California Adventure. The festival runs from now until 2/15.

Some of the things we did:
✨ Took a picture with Ortensia (we missed Oswald).
✨ Met Mickey & Minnie in their LNY outfits
✨ Picked up our @disneylandmagickey FREE button by the Silly Symphonies, available from 1pm-5pm
✨ Took advantage of the Magic Key photo opp after pick up the button 😍
✨ Purchased a Sip n Savor pass ($45 or $42 with Magic Key discount)
✨ Ate some yummy food and drinks
✨ Watched Mulan’s Lunar New Year Procession

There’s so much to do. I hope you get to come visit during this festive time. #disneylunarnewyear #disneylandmagickey #lovestalgia💓disney #oswald #ortensia

Growing up in the 80s and 90s was so different tha

Growing up in the 80s and 90s was so different than now. (I know… I know.. I look far too young to be someone who was born in the 1900s — but I was! 🤣)

What I would tell my younger self about her culture and heritage:
✨ Your eyes and the color of your skin is something to be proud of and a thing of beauty.
✨ The food, music, and beauty products of Korea will one day be sought after and widely accepted.
✨ Even though you don’t understand everything about America and might have experienced some unpleasant things and name calling, those don’t define you.
✨One day, you’ll share stories about growing up to strangers on the internet 🤣☺️

There will always be people who are ignorant and judgmental but there are just as many- it not more- people who are genuinely curious, open minded, and who are accepting of differences and celebrate diversity and who are inclusive.

I hope that in 2023, we will all continue to strive to be the latter.

What’s something you’d tell your younger self?

Yesterday was our first day back to @disneyland in

Yesterday was our first day back to @disneyland in 2023. We’ve all been battling bad colds and coughs on and off since December. 🫠

It was a low crowd day and we got to enjoy one of our favorite meals at Plaza Inn and soak in some Disney magic.

We also took advantage of our @disneylandmagickey perks.
✨ the FREE castle print (available until 1/18) by It’s a Small World line queue
✨Magic Key refillable popcorn bucket $12.25 with $1.50 refills until 2/12/23

Most Mondays they have nuttles available but they don’t put them out until they’re all packaged and ready to sell. We had to leave before they were ready. (I heard it was around 4:30?)

We also got our silhouettes done again at the Silhouette Studio on Main Street. It’s $11.99/person. You can buy a frame for $19.99. Passholder discounts only apply to the frame.

Swipe to see some pictures and to see our comparison silhouettes from 2015. 🥹

Excited for all the magical fun days in 2023! #disneylandmagickeyholder #lovestalgia💓disney

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! 20

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

2022 may not have been the best year but I am grateful to have experienced it and to just be able to experience the highs and lows of life.

Even if 2022, wasn’t your year- I hope that you’ll continue to have hope in life and in the future that anything is possible. Without hope for a better tomorrow (as cheesy as it sounds ☺️), it would be hard to keep going.

Anyway- I’ve been reading about “lucky girl syndrome” and if you haven’t heard of it- let me explain.

Do you ever see some people and think “they’re so lucky” or “they always get what they want.”?

Lucky girl syndrome is the irrational and delusional idea that you are always lucky and that you’ll always get what you want.

I personally am too much of a realist and think about all the options and things that could happen which prevents me from truly believing that I’ll get everything I want.

But in 2023, I want to be more delusional and change my mindset to one where I truly believe anything and everything good will happen to ME. (It’s sometimes easier for me to believe it for others but i think too much about how it can’t happen for me. Lol)

✨With that said- who’s ready to be delusional with me? Cheers to all of us lucky and blessed girls! ✨ #happynewyear2023 #newyearsthoughts #luckygirlsyndrome

Bye 2022.. the first half of 2022 wasn’t so bad.

Bye 2022.. the first half of 2022 wasn’t so bad.. and there was more good than bad.. but the bad just weighed heavily on my mind and heart and it’s just something I need to keep working on and growing and healing and all that.

Not sure how much more I’ll post in feed in 2022 so decided to post this little recap 🤣💖

Video featuring many people I love.. not all but many. 💖Grateful for these beautiful people, amazing opportunities and magical adventures. #2022recap #peaceout2022
