Happy Birthday, Mickey Mouse! Attending Mickey’s 90th Spectacular

If my blog doesn’t give it away, here goes: Hi, I’m Donna, and I’m Disney-obsessed.

I’m a Disney Parks annual pass holder for SoCal, and my husband and I go together 1-2x month. Me, I go more often with my friends and if I feel like it, I go solo. Visiting Disney solo is so much fun and I highly recommend it if you can.

As a Disney lover, I am a fan of all the Disney shows on television, so when I was invited to go see Mickey’s 90th Spectacular, to air on the ABC station on November 4, I did a little happy dance. I got the invite during a really rough week, and the show ended up being the day after my dog had to be peacefully put to rest, so we almost turned it down. I honestly wasn’t sure I could put on a brave smiling face and deal. However, the husband thought it would be a great distraction and he didn’t want me to miss out on something that he knew I loved.

So I said yes, and he literally went to the Men’s Wearhouse about 15 minutes later because his suit jacket was not in the best shape. Two hours later, he had a new suit and all the things that go with it, and I had chosen my ‘elegant attire’ dress, a royal blue long gown I’d bought a couple of years ago but had never had the reason to wear. Do you ever shop and see something you just have to have, even if you have no reason? That’s why I bought that dress. It is a timeless style and as close to a purple as I’ll get without being purple, so it came home with me.

The show was being filmed at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, so we left in plenty of time to arrive and park. But, so did everyone, so parking was an interesting affair, and we ended up with a funny story! The first parking attendant said the lot was full, so to turn back out and go to another gate. That gate said they weren’t taking us, so to go back to the first. Repeat that two times. Finally, as we were backing out the last time and the police guard approached to help us back out, we realized we were blocked in…but we were blocked in by Adam Goldberg of the Goldbergs, real name Sean Giambrone. As he put his hands up in the air laughing at the parking oddities, I had to bite my tongue from yelling SCHMOOPIE.

So parking was a fun event and I can’t complain one little bit. We quickly got inside, picked up our media tickets (which were complimentary, so I’m sharing it all with you today, and the opinions and photos are my own) and found some friends. Our seats were up in the middle mezzanine section, with wonderful views of Mickey Mouse and all the screens, as well as the walkways were the celebrities would appear.

On the long list of amazing talent was Josh Groban. Dream come true to hear him perform in person! I have been listening to his music for a very long time, back before he was on TV shows and co-hosting events. The two-hour event also includes the Zac Brown Band, Meghan Trainor, NCT 127, Leslie Odom, Jr., Anna Kamp, Kelsea Ballerini, Miles Brown, Skyler Astin, Wendi McLendon-Covey (Schmoopie’s mom on the Goldbergs), Sage Steele, Luis Fonsi and so many more names! Mickey was honored in many, many ways and all of us in attendance were smitten with him all over again.

Something about Mickey Mouse makes everyone smile, and we feel like we’re kids again! Watching him and Minnie Mouse dance…oh my heart, it doesn’t matter if Mickey’s an animated character, I love every single second of it!

Watch Mickey’s 90th Spectacular on November 4, and you’ll smile as much as I did!

#AD Summertime, and the livin’ is easy...so shou #AD Summertime, and the livin’ is easy...so shouldn’t our food prep be easy, too? Check out these 6 food items I made this week, all delicious entrees or sides that cut down on my time in the kitchen and still satisfied my family.

These Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Breakfast Saus’ge Original sausages provide the full ‘meat’ experience, from the way they look, cook and taste AND they deliver 13g of protein per serving. I added these to our ‘breakfast for dinner’ night and even my carnivore son asked for more.

Next up is Marie Callender’s Duos Creamy Pesto Chicken + Four Cheese Ravioli. There are 2 entrees in one package, with 32g of protein per serving. The pesto is perfectly creamy and both tasted like I spent a lot longer in the kitchen than they took to heat!

I often look for quick lunch items, since I work at home, and the Frontera Chicken Verde Burrito Bowl ensured I got enough protein (19g per serving) while being literally the easiest lunch I could have outside of a fast-food line. It’s authentic Mexican flavor, with a tomatillo chili sauce, cilantro rice, black beans, bell peppers and pepper jack cheese sauce. So good!

Marie Callender’s Shrimp Fajita iis a winner, too. More authentic Mexican flavor served over white rice and black beans, covered in a smokey chipotle sauce. Heat and serve is the way to go! 

If you like PF Chang’s Bistro Menu, you’ll want to try their Home Menu Bowls Chicken Teriyaki! Its single-serve bowl with white rice, chicken breast, pineapple, vegetables and a savory teriyaki sauce is another easy lunch or dinner entree.

I absolutely love tortellinii, but it can take a while to make from scratch. Bertolli has solved that problem with their Cheese Lovers Tortellinii! It’s ready in 5 minutes and can either be the entree or a side for your meal.

If you have a favorite, let me know which one!

Another day at Disneyland means another new treat….or three. Devon found this one on Instagram, so we of course had to try it. This Fluffernutter churro is available at Willie’s Churros in Disney California Adventure by the entrance to Grizzly Peak, across from Carthay. It’s a crispy cinnamon churro covered in drizzled peanut butter, marshmallow cream and chocolate tips. As my daughter said, it was a taste of childhood. SO good, and worth every bit of the $6.25. (Magic Key Holder discount applicable!)

Remembering and honoring the fallen today. If you’re local, this memorial garden at Central Park in Rancho Cucamonga is a beautiful place to pay respects and learn about each branch of service. I was in the Army a loooong time ago and this Army fountain gave me chills. Thank a veteran in November, but today, remember those who gave their lives for our freedoms.

Seeing T’Challa, aka Black Panther in the parks Seeing T’Challa, aka Black Panther in the parks is awesome….and in this case, I kinda got to see two. Check out his shadow on the right.

At Disney California Adventure last week, maybe I had bad timing but I didn’t get to see many characters roaming. I got lucky for this photo, and was so glad he stopped before heading into Avengers HQ. I’m headed back to Avengers Campus next week and I hope to see Moonknight and Scarlet Witch…and maybe snag new Wanda ears.

Spent yesterday afternoon at Hamilton Brewery here Spent yesterday afternoon at Hamilton Brewery here in Rancho Cucamonga. Tried a few of their amazing craft beers: Watermelon Man (limited availability, tastes like a melted Jolly Rancher 🍉), Double Mango (just like it sounds 🥭), POP Blonde (passion fruit combination 🍍) and Cold Fool (grapefruit yum). My favorite was the Watermelon Man but all four were fantastic. Also sampled the Bignight Oil (barrel-aged bourbon and imperial stout) and we’re going to go back to have it specifically. Sticking with one flavor profile at a time! They provide samples so you can be sure you like it before you settle in at a table outside (in shade if you want it) to enjoy it with one of the many food trucks options that rotate as well as live entertainment. We listened to Heritage Harmonic yesterday while the city of Rancho co-sponsored a charity cornhole tournament that was fun to watch. 

Magilla’s BBQ was on-site from noon to 4pm with brisket, pulled pork, smoked mac and cheese and more. Those pickled onions 😘 SO good, all of it.

All my friends know I am not a fan of the color pi All my friends know I am not a fan of the color pink, which made it even more fun to choose it for our over-the-top fancy costumes for our friend’s annual Kentucky Derby Party. A trip to a local thrift store and then to the Dollar Tree, and I was ready to assemble our outfits. Pink My Kitty Pony toys and a bunch of hot glue and baby head bandeaus turned our hats into silly pieces of art, and for $18, I bought the dress, the hubs’ shirt and tie. Add a few fake flowers onto my Carlos Santana shoes (that I already had) and the hubs’ shirt and we’re good to go. The party was a blast, and it was fun being foofy for the day, bourbon drinks and champagne in hand while eating delicious finger foods. 

If you’re considering a thrift store run, look for a Deseret store near you. The prices are fair and the store gives back to the community in many ways; our location has its own job development/search building attached. How cool, right? We win with affordable clothes and it helps actual people, not big business. (And I frequently find items with tags still on. That tie is a Jos A. Bank tie, marked $58 normally, and I got it for $6!)
