3 Don’t Miss Activities for Adults Aboard the #DisneyDream | #DisneyCruise Series Part 5

I recently went on a Disney Cruise and had the time of my life! It was just a three day cruise but it was a blast. My family and I have since planned a second one for this coming February and I cannot wait to experience it with my husband. He has been in class for work and was unable to attend the last one, so I took my mom. I was sure to take lots of mental notes on what adult activities there were that my husband and I could enjoy while our daughters are at the Oceaneers Club and Lab. There were actually lots of things – but my top three MUST DO activities that I recommend for adults on a Disney cruise are hitting the spa, eating at Palo (or Remy), and lounging in the 18+ deck area.

3 Reasons Fans of the Ratchet & Clank Video Game Series Will Love the Movie

I am a huge gamer, as most of you might know, and I am a big fan of the Ratchet and Clank video game series. My husband is as well and because of this, when the Ratchet and Clank movie was announced, we were thrilled! In fact, we took our young daughters to see it when it came out in theaters. We all really enjoyed the movie – in fact, my 5 year old says it is her favorite movie and asks to watch it all the time. I was excited to receive a copy of it on Blu-ray so that we could watch it at home again and again. Without giving anything away (because I want you to experience it like I did for the first time), I have put together a few reasons why fans of the Ratchet and Clank video game series will love the Ratchet and Clank movie.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Out Today (+ Fan Event Cast Photos)

I am a big fan of The Hunger Games. I have not yet read the books, but I plan to now that I have finished the movies. I have been dying to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 but with young children, it can be hard to get to the theater. So when this movie showed up on my doorstep last night (the day before it was to be released) my husband and I could not wait to pop it in. The second the girls went to bed, we were curled up on the couch ready to watch. I refuse to give anything away but I will say that I laughed a little, and cried a lot. The final chapter of The Hunger Games is dark and intense – but done extremely well. I loved every single second of it, and I was content with the ending as well – it could have been left off much worse. I have heard the movies follow the books almost to a T, but I have not read them yet so I cannot voice my opinion on that.

6 Ubisoft Video Games That Every Gamer Needs

As most of you know by now, I am a huge gamer. I love every aspect of it. I enjoy buckling down, putting on some headphones, and taking some “mommy time” to immerse myself in another world. I also enjoy getting the whole family together and playing fun and lighthearted video games. We own a Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Xbox 360, and PS4 – so clearly we love a wide variety of games. Ubisoft has been one of my favorite gaming companies for quite some time now. No matter what type of gamer you are (hardcore, fun loving, family, or single player), you can never go wrong with an Ubisoft game! Here are a few that I recommend – and be sure to watch for future FanGirl Friday posts where I will get in to more detailed reviews of my favorites.
