Rock Your Disney Side! A 24 Hour Disney Day!

Rock Your Disney Side! A 24 Hour Disney Day!

By Erin

I was so bummed when I found out I was not going to be able to Rock My Disney Side and make it to the 24 hour Disney Day today at the Disneyland Resort.  As I am writing this, I am in a Starbucks in Minnesota, there is no way I’d be able to get there now! So I can only dream of what it would be like to be there! I hope many of you though will be attending and I can live through all of you! I will be following on Social Media and enjoying that way! For those of you going make sure to check these out, or if you are unable to go like myself then here are some of the highlights that I am bummed to be missing out on! Be sure to check out the Disney Parks Blog for all the latest info!

The FOOD! 

Oh my gosh! If you have been following me here, or anywhere else on social media, then you know I am a total foodie! At Rock Your Disney Side 24 Hour Disney Day, they are offering some Special Eats for the occasion! Chicken and Waffles at the Plaza Inn? Their Fried Chicken is AMAZING if you have not tried it. It’s up there with Mrs. Knott’s Fried Chicken. Now they are going to have it served with Waffles and I won’t be there to enjoy it? Bummed!!

Making a Splash at Knott’s Soak City! #SoakCityOC

Making a Splash at Knott’s Soak City!

By Erin

The other week the weather was beyond scorching hot. Imagine my delight when I got an invite to attend a media event to come enjoy Knott’s Soak City OC on opening day last weekend. I was ecstatic to get the chance to be able to cool off after these insane 100+ degree days in MAY! I have always enjoyed swimming and spending my summers in a pool, ocean, river, lake, water park, slip in slide or whatever other source of water I could get into.

This summer, I plan to do more of the same. So come join me and relax by the water at Knott’s Soak City, a 13-acre water park adjacent to Knott’s Berry Farm Theme Park. Experience the wave pool or cruise in the lazy river. If you’re a bit more daring enjoy the 17 speed, tube, and body slides.  If you prefer to live on the wild side, try the Pacific Spin, which drops you  into a 75 foot, six-story funnel! You will find me floating around at Sunset River, the lazy river at Knott’s Soak City.

Take a look here at some of the fun you can find here!

Look at all the super cool stuff at the Wipe Out Surf Shop inside Knott’s Soak City OC! I love the mermaids and the dolphins! Those Big Squirts look like a lot of fun too, especially since you can use them in the park. They even have filling stations to fill up your Big Squirts at! 😉

Experience the Bold New Flavors at Zpizza!

Experience the Bold New Flavors at Zpizza!

*I was invited to come in as a guest to try out a couple of new menu items, all thoughts and opinions remain my own*

When it is Pi Day ( March 14th, 3.14), you have to celebrate with a good pizza pie, right? Not that I need an excuse to have pizza! A few weeks ago, on Pi Day, I went in for a visit at Zpizza.  At Zpizza there is a genuine passion for great food, which is why they start out with dough that is made from 100% organic wheat flour that is prepared fresh daily, then hand-thrown and fire-baked until crisp. They have a true zest for quality that continues with their unique toppings.  By combining select ingredients using award-winning skim mozzarella from Wisconsin, certified organic tomato sauce, MSG-free pepperoni, additive-free sausage, and fresh produce, Zpizza creates pizzas that are fresh, delicious, and pleasing to your senses. Their gourmet salads and sandwiches are just as delicious, but you don’t need to take my word for it, take a look for yourself! 😉

The first new menu item that we tried was the Chopped California Cobb Salad. This delightful salad consisted of a tasty blend of avocado, chicken breast, bacon, lettuce, tomato, gorgonzola cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette. All of the ingredients were very fresh, and they did not skimp on the ingredients such as the chicken and avocado like a lot of places do! I love avocado and chicken in my salad, so it’s nice to have more than a couple of pieces of them in my salad!

Next, we tried the new Buffalo Bleu Pizza! Talk about a bold pizza! If you love pizza, and you love buffalo chicken wings, then you will love love love this pizza! Topping this delicious cheesy wonder is buffalo chicken, gorgonzola, scallions, and mozzarella with a zesty blend of tomato and buffalo sauce. With just the right amount of kick, not too much spice, my friend that went along with me commented how this is the perfect pizza for game night! I totally agree, whether it be a UFC fight night, Football, Basketball, Hockey, or Baseball game, or just a fun night in with friends and family playing board games, this pizza is beyond perfect for the occasion. This pizza takes two crowd favorites, pizza and buffalo wings and turns it into one amazing creation. Best of all, this pizza warms up well if you have leftovers. Even the next day it tasted great. Not all pizzas taste the greatest as leftovers, but the Buffalo Bleu Pizza didn’t disappoint the next day. It still had that great flavor that it had the first time I tried it. I was very pleased with this. 🙂

You know me… I cannot have a meal without dessert! Lol 😉 We had a couple of sweet treats before we left. These cupcakes were the perfect end to our meal, just enough to make my sweet tooth happy.

We enjoyed dining out at the Seal Beach, CA location, but I am always out and about in the Los Angeles, CA area going to different events so the  Larchmont store is a nice location to check out as well.
