Cars Land at Disney California Adventure
Cars fans rejoice! Disney California Adventure has a whole Cars Land for you to enjoy. It looks like it jumped straight out of the movie, with everything from Flo's V8 Cafe to the Cozy Cone Motel. It really creates an immersive experience. I hadn't been to Disneyland or California Adventure in over a decade, so when I saw it for the first time I was impressed. If your toddler or kids (or yourself) like the Cars movies then you will get a kick out of Cars Land.

But it's not like you can input the address and drive there. Cars Land is at Disney California Adventure, not Disneyland. So, you must have a ticket and reservation. If you're purchasing a ticket via the website, then that is technically your ticket and reservation. If you have a Magic Key Pass, then you need to book a reservation. If you have a park hopper ticket, you can easily visit both parks.

Sumatran Tiger Cub Bakso Makes First Appearance at Maharajah Jungle Trek at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park
Fans of Sumatran tiger cub Bakso and his mom Sohni can now watch him grow up on weekly episodes on the Disney Parks YouTube. The Tiger Tuesday Live! series allows viewers to get a behind-the-scenes look at baby Bakso as he grows and learns how to navigate the world around him. Bakso and his mom Sohni are located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World. The tigers have access to veterinary care, animal training, enrichment, and natural surroundings as part of the Disney Conservation efforts.

The public got the first look at Bakso in October 2024 on the Vice President of Disney’s Animals, Science & Environment, Dr. Mark Penning’s Instagram page. Since then, the adventurous tiger has captivated the world as he takes on new experiences with his mom keeping an ever-watchful eye. There are nine Tiger Tuesday Live! episodes to watch on the Disney Parks YouTube channel.
You can take your time tuning in or spend the afternoon binge-watching them all in one go to get your fill of the adorable baby animal. Each episode means Bakso gets closer to making his debut on Maharajah Jungle Trek with his mom, Sohni.
As you watch from episode to episode, you can watch Bakso hit some vital milestones, such as taking his first swim or trying solid food. You can also enjoy some feel-good moments like watching him cuddle with his mom, Sohni. The close-up views make it feel like you're right there with them without having to take a trip to the park.
The episodes give viewers a peek at what the growth process of a cub looks like but also what it looks like for mom. Bakso starts to nurse less, sleep more, and partake in enrichment activities. In episode six, we get to watch Bakso as he explores a new area: the backstage habitat, which allows him to practice his jumping, rolling, and pouncing skills – all of which are important skills for the young Sumatran tiger cub to master.
By the time make your way through episode nine you'll have watched the little cub grow, both developmentally and in size. There is not a standard time as each episode varies in length. Episode two is the longest at 65 minutes and episode six is the shortest at just 15 minutes. Each episode gives you a different look at Mom and cub from a live-stream perspective.
There is no music or narration, which allows viewers to focus solely on the animals and what they're up to week after week. The series wrapped up its final episode to celebrate Bakso’s big Maharajah Jungle Trek appearance. The excursion allows guests to roam around the tropical trails to encounter various animals, such as gibbons, water buffalo, over 50 bird species, and of course Sohni and Bakso. The experience is available for all ages and heights. Now you can see Bakso in person during your next trip to Disney's Animal Kingdom Park!

Review: Tiana's Palace Cajun Spiced Half Chicken
I went to Tiana's Palace in Disneyland on a Wednesday evening around 7 o'clock p.m. and the line was pretty long. I waited about 10 to 15 minutes to get to the front of the line. This is kind of like buffet-style dining. You get a tray, tell them what you want, and then they just place the meal onto your plate. Once you get what you need, you pay at the register.
I had the Cajun Spiced Half Chicken from Tiana's Palace and it was great. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Sometimes chicken can be iffy (dry, chewy, gross) but this was very tasty. It had a light spice to it but I didn't find it to be too hot. The mac and cheese side was tasty but not overly memorable. Although it's kind of pricy, you do get a good amount of chicken.
I also ordered the beignets, which are fluffy and hollow on the inside. The beignets are good but best when fresh and warm. Don't delay eating them. I didn't love them but they are worth a shot. They were mostly air with a teensy, thin amount of fried dough.
There is outdoor seating, but based on how busy it is and how big your party is, you might have trouble finding a spot. When you're done eating, you return your plates and trays. If you have leftovers, you have to go inside to ask for a box.

The Beauty of the Notre Dame in Paris
 |
| The Notre Dame under construction - September 2019 |
Tourist Information:
History:
I love viewing the grandeur that is the Notre Dame. It's a wonderful place to visit regardless of how many times you've seen it. I am obsessed with churches & religious art. I always have been; I remember it started in my ninth grade world history class. Last time I featured the Cologne Cathedral in Germany.
Once you get inside it's up to you what you want to see. There's no right or wrong way to do things. Walk around. People watch. Look at the stained glass. You can buy a candle, light it, & say a little prayer. Take a moment to soak in the glory of the Notre Dame. If you're in Paris, France this is a must-see experience. It's just one of those things you have to do!
The Notre Dame is a world wonder. It has so much character after being developed over hundreds of years. When you visit Paris make sure to set some time aside to visit the Notre Dame Cathedral. After all they made a whole Disney movie about it, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. That has to mean something, right?
