Read MoreCirque du Soleil’s Big Top returns to Orange County with Volta + Giveaway
Partnership **EVENT CANCELLED** Cirque du Soleil’s Big Top returns to Orange County with its first sports-inspired Big Top production, VOLTA, performing under the Big Top at the OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa March 18–April 19, 2020. Tickets, starting at $39, are available for purchase by visiting online or calling 1-877-9CIRQUE (1-877-924-7783). Energetic, urban and contemporary, VOLTA is a captivating voyage of discovery that showcases never-before-seen under the Big Top acrobatics in a visually striking world. Driven by a stirring melodic score and inspired in part by the adventurous spirit that fuels the culture of street sports, VOLTA is a story of transformation. It is about being true to oneself, fulfilling one’s true potential, and recognizing one’s own power to make it possible. Ultimate freedom comes with self-acceptance, and with the liberation of the judgement of others. The Music of VOLTA VOLTA is propelled by a series of atmospheric, epic and poetic musical landscapes. Orange County music fans can look forward to VOLTA’s live band, which is complete with powerful vocalists, violinist, percussion and more.

It is a narrative tool in its own right, echoing the different arcs in the storyline and expressing the distinct personalities of the worlds of VOLTA.

The Costumes The stunning costumes of VOLTA have been designed by Emmy Award winner Zaldy Goco, famous for his work with Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani and...

Read MoreInside the Walt Disney Archives at The Bowers Museum
We visited as a guest of the venue Calling all Disney fans The Walt Disney Archives has arrived at The Bowers Museum. Established in 1970, the archive has collected, preserved, cataloged, and made available for study merchandise, awards, pictures, art, and so much more. This 10,000 square foot exhibit made its debut in 2018 for Japan’s D23 expo, and due to its popularity, the team in Japan asked if they could tour the exhibition. After a nine-city tour that took 19 months, The Walt Disney Archives bought the exhibit back home. Seeing the success and outpouring of love for the archives in Japan, the company decided that they needed to share the spirit of Disney starting right here in Walt’s backyard. Located only 6 miles from Disneyland, The Walt Disney Archives felt that The Bowers Museum would be the perfect location as the first stop on a much-anticipated exhibition tour. Opening on March 7ththe exhibition, Inside the Walt Disney Archives: 50 Years of Preserving the Magic, will give the public behind the scenes access that has never been granted before. Guests will be able to immerse themselves in over 400 objects such as the ghouls from the Haunted Mansion, costumes, props from movies and tv shows, original artwork as well as personal items that belong to Walt. A few of the items that caught my eye and made me feel like a kid again were Herbie the Love Bug! The original Alphabet Block set from Mary Poppins as well as her magical bag, the Sleeping Beauty book from 1959, Zorro’s sword, and a magical bed knob from the Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Along with the exhibit will be special speakers as well as lecture series, which is a must for every Disney fan.

World Premiere of Disney Pixar Onward
We attended as a guest of Disney and Pixar. One of my favorite things to do with my children is to attend a world premiere of a Disney and Pixar Animation film. I was beyond thrilled upon receipt of the invitation to attend the world premiere of Disney and Pixar’s newest feature animated film, Onward. It felt like a dream come true, receiving the invitation, and I could not wait to tell my boys that they would be attending with me. The first thing that my boys did was to watch the trailer for the film. From that moment on, they could not wait to attend. The day of the premiere, my younger son got all dressed up before school so that he would be all ready for the premiere. You can imagine his sadness when he called me an hour into school to tell me that he fell into a puddle of mud, and needed me to bring him a change of clothes. Thankfully, he had a large variety of clothes in his closet, and I was able to bring him something cute to change into at school that he could also wear to the premiere. I was counting down the clock until it was time for us to leave for Los Angeles,...
