Disneyland and Galaxy’s Edge in 1 day

How to do Disneyland, Galaxy's Edge and Disney's California Adventure Park in one day with a 1 day park hopper ticket and Disney MaxPass | Best tips and itinerary to do all the best rides at Disneyland in Anaheim, California | Modern and minimalist packing list by copycatchic and travel plans with Disney

We decided to fly down to Southern California last week for our summer vacation and of course, if I’m in SoCal, it’s pretty much a given that I’m going to Disneyland! And with the recent opening of Galaxy’s Edge, there was no chance we’d miss out on that!

I was pretty concerned that the park would be ridiculously crowded, especially with Galaxy’s Edge just newly-opened, because July is the peak of the summer. But luckily the park wasn’t as busy as predicted. In fact out of all the times we’ve visited recently (trips in March, May and June) last week’s visit was probably the least crowded! I’d really recommend taking a last minute trip to Disneyland if you can swing it this summer!

We had a packed itinerary consisting of a road trip and some serious beach time, so we only had one day to spend with Disney (usually we spend at least 3 days there). So I went into full on research and planning-mode, determined to fit everything we needed into that one day. At the top of the list? Galaxy’s Edge!

Designer Tech | Eero WiFi System

Talking about the world's best wifi system, the Eero. Designer looks and function. That's my kind of tech! copycatchic luxe living for less #EEROATHOME — This post is in partnership with **eero**.

We’ve had a long time struggle with our wireless connection over here. Our house isn’t huge, but there’s just something about the placement of our modem and router that makes it give us spotty coverage everywhere else. Okay, okay…our set up is in our basement (not our choice!). It was there when we moved in and so we just kept it there to keep things easy. Well, it’s not hard to imagine, but we get awful coverage on the 2nd floor. Especially in the master bedroom. This is such a damper on my nighttime youtube binging, hello! My husband even tried moving the whole set up out of the basement and still no dice. We’re guessing the old school iron tub in the upstairs is serving as a damper? Who knows…all I know is that watching the little buffer wheel go round-and-round was driving me nutty. About six months ago it got so bad that we replaced our router and modem and pretty much our whole set-up hoping for better service. Nope. Oh yeah and we tried switching services too. Yeah…double nope.

I get it 😉 So instead…I’m going to share with you some of my favorite search terms! Of course, these will be different depending on your personal favorite brands and items, or if you’re looking for something specific. But if you’re just searching for the best RELEVANT deals, this list will definitely help you narrow it down!

Home Trends | Faux Foliage

My favorite faux plants and greenery from World Market | faux greens look great in your home without need a green thumb | copycatchic luxe living for less — This post is in partnership with **World Market** and contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you make a purchase after clicking on a link.

I’m all over ways of making life easier (and better!). I went through a crazy plant buying spree a couple of months ago and it was amazing. BUT can I just tell you how much upkeep it all is? Watering, dusting, feeding, re-potting. Not to mention the infestation of gnats I got from a palm I bought. Yikes. So lately, I’ve been staring longingly at faux plants and greenery. Faux greens are such a controversial subject in the home design world. What do you guys think? Are you for? Or against? Personally? I like a good mix of both. In the past I’ve been solidly against fake plants, but there’s a new crop of great faux greens on the market and it makes ALL the difference. I found a few favorites over at World Market, so I thought it would be the perfect time to work in a Home Trends post for you all!
