During the Zootopia press junket at Walt Disney World, courtesy of Disney Studios, we also got a chance to check out a few additional parks besides Disney's Animal Kingdom. One of which was Disney Hollywood Studios. Here is where Star Wars lives and trust me when I say that The Force is strong in this park.

Hotel Review: Residence Inn by Marriott at LAX

We received a complimentary stay for the purposes of this post. All opinions are of the author's solely. Airport hotels generally score low on style, cleanliness and comfort points, but they do have one major redeeming factor -- their proximity to your flight's departure gate. Well, I have an exception to tell you about! The Residence Inn by Marriott Los Angeles at LAX/Century Boulevard is the … [Read more...]

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood’s New Expansion

Last week, I had the pleasure of experiencing the new 25,000-square-foot expansion of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood and it was incredible. The exhibit, titled Stage 48: Script to Screen, takes you behind the scenes of producing a film or television show, giving you a rare glimpse into Hollywood. At the preview, stars like Clint Eastwood, Jon Cryer and director Zack Snyder walked the … [Read more...]

A Date Night Dining On The Dodgers Field With Montejo

This is a compensated collaboration with Latina Blogger Connect and Montejo. All thoughts are my own. As a Los Angeles native, I know that anytime I am in Dodger Stadium is a something to be remembered. So when Montejo invited me and a guest to have a tailgate dinner by Chef Eddie Ruiz of Corazon y Miel right on the field, I knew immediately that 1) this would be an amazing night and 2) my … [Read more...]

Aquarium of the Pacific Focuses on Endangered Whales This Summer

We received a complimentary whale watching tour for the purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions are our own. The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach gives families a chance to check out everything from jellyfish and stingrays to sea otters and penguins. But their waterside location lends itself to other activities, specifically whale watching tours seeking out the endangered blue … [Read more...]

Pacific Edge Hotel at Laguna Beach: Paradise Found #PacificEdgeEscape

Disclosure: We received a one night courtesy stay and a courtesy lunch for the purposes of this post. All thoughts are my own. I was having a really bad week. One of those oh-my-god-I-need-to-go-far-away-or-I-may-scream types of weeks. Not only that but man, was it one busy week. Thank goodness Pacific Edge Hotel at Laguna Beach asked my family to come out for the night and check them out … [Read more...]
