*I received an all expenses paid trip to San Francisco for the coverage of this press event for Disney/Pixar.   All opinions are 100% my own and I only recommend events and shows that are a great fit for my readers.

I am so excited to fill you in on my next adventure!  I have been invited to a very special Disney & Pixar press event, Wednesday, August 2nd through Friday, August 4th for the release of Disney/Pixar’s COCO at Pixar Animation Studios!   This event is exclusively for 25 of their top Bloggers from across the country.  We will complete our to San Francisco with a tour of The Walt Disney Family Museum.  I was a little too excited to get this invitation, because it will be my first trip to San Francisco and Pixar Studios.  I am also super excited about the release of Disney/Pixar’s COCO.  It is going to be such a colorful and amazing film.

Here’s a little bit of what our schedule will look like while we’re there:

About Disney/Pixar COCO:

Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history. Directed by Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist “Monsters University”) and produced by Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”), Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 22, 2017.
