Yes, you read that title correctly! I am heading to Los Angeles, California for the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok Event! While in L.A., I’ll be seeing the premiere of Thor: Ragnarok, attending a Cars 3 themed dinner to celebrate the upcoming digital and Blu-ray release of the movie, screening an episode of the new Disney Junior show Vampirina, and attending a lunch with the technology company littleBits, creators of a brand new STAR WARS Droid Inventor Kit where I’ll make my own R2D2 and bring him to life!
Thor: Ragnarok Event
I am so excited, and I want to share this excitement with you all! Make sure you are following me on social media (especially Twitter!) with the hashtag #ThorRagnarokEvent. During the event, Oct. 9-11, I’ll be interviewing cast members and so much more! I don’t want you to miss any of it!
THOR: RAGNAROK
In Marvel Studios’ “THOR: RAGNAROK,” Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok—the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization—at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk!
On the advice of my fellow Thor: Ragnarok Event blogging buddy, Tessa, I watched one of Taika Waititi’s films to prepare for this movie. I loved it! If you haven’t seen Hunt for the Wilderpeople, watch it to prep for Taika’s directing style. You won’t be disappointed!
“Thor: Ragnarok” thunders into U.S. theaters on November 3, 2017!
If you’ve not yet seen the trailer, you can watch it here! It. Is. Amazing!

Cars 3
Last week I wrote a post about the Disney Pixar Cars movies. I am so looking forward to the Cars 3 themed dinner we’ll be attending, and I can’t wait to share the fun with you! The Cars 3 dinner will be at Flo’s V8 Cafe inside Cars Land at Disney California Adventure! Ahhhh!
As if that were not enough, for the first time ever Cars Land will be fully decked out for “Haul-O-Ween.” I cannot wait to see it! After dinner I will be going on the Radiator Springs Racers, Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween and Mater’s Graveyard JamBooree! And after that, I will get to go on the brand new GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY ride Mission: BREAKOUT! which will be themed out to Halloween with the new name “Monsters After Dark”! I can’t wait!
I’m hoping for some swag to put in my “little” boy’s stocking this year! Yeah, he’s gonna be 20 in October, but who cares? I still give my kids Disney stuff every Christmas.
Don’t forget to visit my other Cars 3 post for coloring pages, build your own racetrack, and activity pages.
Disney Pixar CARS 3 zooms into your homes October 24th on digital and November 7th on Blu-ray. You can bet this will be under the tree this year too!

Vampirina
Disney Junior’s new animated series “Vampirina” premieres October 1st. It tells the story of a young vampire girl who faces the joys and trials of being the new kid in town when her family moves from Transylvania to Pennsylvania.
This show is going to be so cute! Even though my daughter is in her last semester of college, she still watches some Disney Junior shows! The fact that these shows appeal to a larger audience just shows you how talented the creators of these series are. I can’t wait to talk to Chris Nee, Vampirina’s Executive Director.

The Mayor
Did you get to watch the pilot episode of THE MAYOR yet? It is so funny! In THE MAYOR, struggling hip-hop artist runs for mayor to promote his mixtape and wins the election.
