Welcome to OC Fletcher Family!

I am so honored to have been at the Fifth, the Grand Legacy rooftop Lounge, on Tuesday to see the faces of this beautiful family enjoy making memories together that will surely last them for years to come.

This wonderful family spent the day at California Adventure and soaked up as much of the Disney fun they could before arriving at the Rooftop for dinner and a beautiful sunset view.

When we first started chatting they were super friendly and opened up right away and express their gratitude to everyone for making this dream come true. Getting everyone together to that her mothers kids and grand-kids were all in one place... priceless.

Why I LOVE Supporting CHOC Walk in the Park - October 30th Registration Open Now

CHOC Walk in the Park Returns to the Disneyland Resort October 30th!

We LOVE CHOC! 

Have you ever participated in the CHOC Walk at Disneyland? There are so many opportunities available to help out one way or another.

You can sign up to just donate to the walk or you can form/join a team and walk the walk!

For years we have participated in CHOC Walks. CHOC hits close to home for us, for me and for my family. 

About 9 years ago my nephew was born, yes born, with Stage 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme that covered 70% of the left side of his head. It was on the brain stem. We were all sitting there hearing that he may not make it and they needed to talk to the Neurologist and Oncologist Doctors at CHOC and immediately operate and get the tumor out.

HEART DROPS

Fast forward to 9 years later, my nephew, George is alive, we can kiss him, hug him and he is here! CHOC acted fast on that emotional day, they immediately took action. Doctors came up with the best plan and after multiple surgeries, a stint shunt, g-tube and recovery, George is in remission and Cancer Free... he has been to this day. He continues to work on his motor skills and is in a wheel chair and has brought our family closer than we would have ever imagined. Thank you Dr. Muhonen for never giving up your faith that your steady hands would serve their purpose. 

A few years later we had two more family members need CHOC. My Niece Kaylen was born with heart defect and for 3 months CHOC did everything and beyond to help her and although she did not make it our family walks CHOC Walk in her name as Team Kaylen Faith. My other nephew Joshua was born with a smaller dysfunctional kidney. CHOC again came up with a plan and removed the kidney and Joshua is a thriving 6yo playing sports and running around loving life. 

We have so many reasons to be grateful to CHOC, my heart will always support, but so can my feet! I love participating in CHOC Walk and hope that one day all of you who have not done so, get an opportunity to do so too!

TOP SLIDERS Perform a Special Collaboration at Queen Mary Dark Harbor Plus Recap Of Event

Queen Mary's Dark Harbor has the best Sliders Coming at YOU!

I had such a blast at Dark Harbor this year. The intense feeling of the Mystery of the Ship itself creates that extra spooky feeling for me. 

I love the use of the ship for some of the haunted mazes. There is something about walking through feeling the historical vibes as you take each step up, down and around the ship itself. 

One of my favs.... "Is she looking at me?"

The Photo Opps are hands down awesome! Creepy enough yet... hehe

The dark path ways, living quarters, stories of the pool and other ghostly tales create the most amazing atmosphere for a perfect Dark Harbor!

There are monsters and spooky ones everywhere and what I liked is that the Sliders don't just slide at you but totally give a performance. 

It was fun to watch them attempt limbo Sliding down the walkway past us still creeping us out. 

I can not wait for next year to see what Scary Mary, the Captain and all their ghostly crew have conjured up to make me scream. 

Check out this creepy video of Scary Mary I got while on the Queen Mary Ship! Yikes... that's real enough for me! 

I have to add that there are sweet snacks and food to take a break with. Refuel so you can ditch the scary monsters and make it thought a maze with energy haa!

The Screaming Festive fun does not stop there... Something special and unique is headed to give Dark Harbor even more clout!
