The PCH Grill

All Ears Picture This! blogger Lisa Berton and I recently had dinner at the PCH Grill at the Paradise Pier Hotel – it was a first time for both of us. We arrived at the restaurant at the same time as a large group of cheerleaders…uh oh. But the restaurant actually handled them very well … Continue reading "The PCH Grill"

Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival – Day 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Another busy day today…and it was *hot*. Definitely high 80s, if not in the 90s. Whew. There was quite a breeze blowing, too – which was good, because it helped keep us a little cooler, but it was also bad, because they couldn’t put up all of the big umbrellas, for fear they would topple … Continue reading "Disney’s California Food and Wine Festival – Day 2"

The new Pixar Play Parade officially opened at DCA on Friday evening (there were several preview performances). I was on-hand for the first official parade, which started at 5:15. I claimed a spot on the edge of the parade route at Sunshine Plaza (where it starts) about 4:00 – turns out I didn’t really have … Continue reading "The Pixar Play Parade"

Disneyland with Lisa

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I had a new experience last Friday – I got to tour Disneyland with a fellow All Ears staff member – All Ears Picture This! blogger Lisa Berton. We hit both parks, all three resorts and Downtown Disney. It was a beautiful southern California day – they don’t get much better. Lisa was taking lots … Continue reading "Disneyland with Lisa"

Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
In our quest to eat at all of the Disneyland Resort restaurants (all in the interests of research, you know!) Lee and I had dinner at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney last month. We arrived at 5:30 for our 5:30 Priority Seating. The restaurant was almost completely empty, and the hostess directed us … Continue reading "Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen"

Prince Caspian

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
The new Narnia movie, Prince Caspian, starts on May 16 – but apparently you can get a sneak peek at Prince Caspian before that, since the Prince Caspian pre-parade starts at Disneyland on April 25. If the parade’s Prince looks anything like the movie’s Prince Caspian, then I hope Disneyland has plenty of Cast Members … Continue reading "Prince Caspian"
