An Afternoon at The Del Amo Fashion Center

By Kirsten

How do you end an awesome Summer and get your family ready for the start of a new year of crazy schedules?  The other week we said goodbye to Summer by heading over to the brand new Dave and Busters at the Del Amo Fashion Center for a little last minute fun before school started.

Fun isn’t limited to to the kids though!  While Dave and Busters sounds like a place for kids, it’s actually a great family fun area with great food and drinks, yes, I said drinks, as in alcohol!

My husband and I have made Dave and Busters a favorite date spot.  On this latest trip, we were invited to attend a family media event, a Scavenger Hunt at Dave and Busters!  As we were treated to cool refreshments and appetizers, we were given more information of what the Scavenger Hunt entailed.  We were given 15 minutes to locate about 30 items that are found on our persons, around Dave and Busters and the immediate area.  We were literally running through Dave and Busters from the restaurant, prize area and various games.  We received a lot of odd looks but made the best of memories as we split up to maximize the items.

Disney Finds & More at The Outlets at Orange!

Not far from Disneyland is The Outlets at Orange. Just a mere 3.5 miles from Disneyland Park, California Adventure and Downtown Disney, The Outlets offer a wide range of restaurants, making it an ideal stop for a bite to eat either before or after your Disney visit. Looking for souvenirs or some Disney gear to wear? They’ve got that too! Several retailers at The Outlets at Orange carry Disney themed products, including: Hot Topic, H&M, Tilly’s, and Claire’s. So you can take a break, shop or fuel up before or after your next Disney adventure. All things Disney can be found at half the cost of park prices. Parking is free too! In addition, the Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) Route #16 will take you from The Outlets at Orange to Disneyland.

In addition to fabulous shopping, this beautiful open-air center also offers fun and entertainment for the entire family with over 25 incredible restaurants & cafes, plus an indoor Vans SkatePark, Dave & Buster’s, Lucky Strike Bowling and a huge AMC 30 movie theatre with IMAX. There is something for everyone to enjoy here. You can definitely feel the Disney Magic here and find some pixie dust. 😉

The Outlets at Orange is on The City Drive just off the I-5 in Orange, California and serves nearby communities including Anaheim, Costa Mesa, and Buena Park. Here are some of my favorite things that I found on my visit to The Outlets at Orange.

Hot Topic

Hot Topic had the largest selection of Disney items that I loved. They had all my favorites: Beauty & the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Lilo & Stitch, Alice in Wonder Land, Marvel and so much more!

Look at all the adorable Lilo and Stitch items! I had to grab a few for myself.

Lots of Marvel shirts and other items too! PERFECT to wear for the Summer of Heroes Showcase going on at the Disney California Adventure Park through September 10th. I LOVE the Groot T-shirts!

The other week I was ever so lucky to be able to attend the “VIG” (Very Important Guest) grand opening of the new City Target in Beverly Hills. I have always L-O-V-E-D Target, so of course I jumped at the chance to be able to go to a Grand Opening for Target. I mean, WHO doesn’t LOVE Target? This was my first visit to a City Target, and certainly not my last. They’re smaller stores, but they’re very cleverly laid out to encourage shoppers to stay in the store longer and look around.
