Ricky the Mouseketeer?

Posted on July 20, 2021July 20, 2021 by

I have an odd memory of visiting Disneyland as a kid where a family asked me if I was a Mouseketeer. I didn’t even know there was an Asian Mouseketeer at the time. Apparently Curtis Wong was on the late 1970s revival of The Mickey Mouse Club. I have to admit, upon comparing photos, there…

Pics from 1976 Visit to Disneyland

Posted on May 9, 2020May 9, 2020 by

My Uncle Danny just sent to me a bunch of pictures from a trip to Disneyland we took back in 1976. That would make me seven years old at the time, so one of my first trips to the theme park. Apparently my Uncle Danny and Auntie Susan had just moved to the States from…

Bucket List: DisneySea Theme Park in Tokyo

Posted on May 8, 2020May 8, 2020 by

Among the many things I geek out on, Disney theme parks is toward the top of the list. From as early as I can remember, I have had a fascination with Disneyland in Anaheim. Here’s me with my mom and sister there when I was around ten years old. That fascination with Disneyland, and later…

Strolling Down Buena Vista Street with Minnie!

Posted on November 27, 2019January 2, 2020 by

This weekend was my latest trip to Disneyland. I spent all of Sunday at the Disney California Adventure theme park, which I have grown to love, almost as much as the magic kingdom. There were a lot of special moments throughout the day: A delicious chile relleno meal at the Paradise Garden Grill. Really tasty,…

My Tips on Doing Disneyland Solo

Posted on October 11, 2019October 12, 2019 by

Disneyland is my happy place. There’s just something about the park that just fills me with so much joy, more than I can describe. So I go as often as I can. One thing I have never done until this weekend was visit Disneyland alone. Something about it has always intimidated me. Partly it’s a…

Slumming in Batuu: My First Visit to Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland

Posted on October 7, 2019October 10, 2019 by

Yesterday was one of my favorite visits to a Disney theme park ever. After years of anticipation, and avoiding as many spoilers as possible, I finally got to visit Stars Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. As a big scifi nerd and a Disney fanatic, the idea of a completely immersive experience where you got to…

Disneyland Paris: Le Bon, le Mal y le Meh

Posted on April 26, 2019April 26, 2019 by

Being a big Disney park nerd, I was excited to get to visit Disneyland Paris this week, as part of my Paris adventure. This was actually the second time I had been to Disneyland Paris. The first visit was about 16 years ago, when it was still called EuroDisney. That visit was notable for how…

Disney, Cultural Connections and Common Ground

Posted on August 3, 2018August 3, 2018 by

Last night I was flying back from my latest trip to Disneyland, tired but happy. Our small commuter plane wasn’t able to hook up directly to the terminal at SFO, so we had to walk down the stairs to a waiting bus. The bus took quite a long time to get to our final terminal,…

Fun Times at Disney California Adventure

Posted on August 1, 2018August 2, 2018 by

I have long thought of Disney California Adventure (DCA) as the inferior little brother to Disneyland. I grew up going to Disneyland Anaheim. It has layers and layers of history, tradition, and memories for me. That is hard to top. In contrast, California Adventure has only been around since 2001. I never thought of it…

Disneyland Shanghai: A Delightful Take on the House of the Mouse

Posted on May 18, 2018December 24, 2018 by

Yesterday I had the most epic Disney adventure ever at Shanghai Disney Resort. This was the combination of a hairbrained idea I came up with in February (“What if I just flew to Shanghai to go to one of the  only Disney parks I’ve never been?”) and my amazing friend Sing’s incredible ingenuity, connections and…
