I’m very excited to share with you that I’ll be headed to Los Angeles later this month for a whole lot of Disney fun! I’m truly lucky to receive these kinds of opportunities. This girl – who rarely has a vacation outside of her home state – heck, rarely takes a vacation at all, is traveling more this year than she has in her whole (just about!). I’m tellin’ ya, Baby #2 is going to be quite the jet setter before he’s born.
I’ve been out to Anaheim, California once about three years ago. That was fun, but now I’ll get to see LA! Hmm, I wonder if I will be anywhere near Kat Von D’s tattoo place? I’d love to just see it since there’s no way I could afford to get a piece done there. Well, even if I could, I can’t get inked while preggers!
Don’t worry, I’ll be working while I’m there too and will be able to share an inside look with you. I’ve seen the preliminary itinerary and am stoked! My first thought was how the heck are we going to fit all of that into 3-4 days? But then my inner child took over and squeed.
I’m kind of glad my daughter is too young to know what she’ll be missing out on while mommy is working…
So what will I be doing there? Well, I’ll be screening and previewing these Disney movies…
I’ll also be going on a couple tours… into places I’d never be able to get into on my own very easily (if at all). I need to make sure I clear my phone off to make room for a ton of pictures! I’ll also get to meet and get to know several other bloggers. There are a few familiar faces joining me on this trip and several new-to-me bloggers. It’ll be nice meeting some new people and reconnecting with others!
Have you ever been to LA? Anything I should try to see if I have some free time?

I was so excited to see your blog listed on the blogger list. I've been a lurker for quite some time, and can't remember now how I found your blog--though my guess is Twitter and I was lured over with a fantastic giveaway. It'll be so nice to meet you!

I'm a SoCal native (almost, raised there), it looks like one day we are in Disneyland which is in Anaheim! Many times LA is the generic term for all of SoCal except San Diego..so it'll be interesting to see where we actually end up..and finally we can really have a convo together!!! So excited!!

Yeah I walked past Disneyland while in Anaheim! lol but wasn't really in areas referred to as LA - so I'm excited to check it out! And yes, it will be so nice to spend time together instead of a quick hug & hello!

I've never been there so don't have any suggestions. I don't think you'll have any problem filling up your time there. Have fun!

I think they'll keep me pretty busy, but it'll be fun!

Wow! Lucky you! I was in LA last year for the first time. You have to see it at least once!

I have never been to LA, but if I were to go I'd be sure to check out the new Carsland at Disneyland. Looks awesome. Hope you get a chance to check it out.

I will get some time at Disneyland so I have Carsland on my list! It looks like some rides I can go on while preggers too.
