Spring break is getting closer, which means a lot of us are quietly gearing up for Disney days and park hopping. That makes this week’s thrift find pretty timely. There is a shop nearby where people score authentic park gear for about a third of the usual cost!

Pair that with St. Patrick’s parties, live music, and a beach bike ride this weekend and you have a full lineup. Anaheim is not slowing down anytime soon.

🍀 Green beer, Guinness, and 23 screens

The Hive Sports Bar & Grill is leaning into the spirit this week with a five-day St. Patrick’s extravaganza starting Friday.

While the green beer and Jameson shots will be flowing, the kitchen remains the real draw with tender chicken kabobs and a white cheddar mac n’ cheese that holds its own against the best in the Hills.

It is a reliable haunt for catching the tournament on the big screen projector, especially on Sunday when live music from The Shenanigans adds a bit of festive rowdy to the afternoon.

✨ A local secret for savvy park hoppers

Thriftyland101 moved into a larger, cleaner space right next door, and the extra breathing room makes a difference when sorting through the massive variety of Disney backpacks and ears.

While the clothing racks are organized by size in a way that takes a moment to master, the effort is worth it for authentic park gear at about a third of the usual cost. It is a practical stop for grabbing gear before the spring break crowds arrive or finding that specific shirt the parks stopped carrying.

🏒 Ducks Celebrate Women in Sports

The Gist The Ducks hosted their fourth annual Women in Sports Weekend at Honda Center to celebrate International Women’s Day. Hundreds of local athletes and professionals gathered for the first-ever Women’s Beginner Hockey Camp led by Olympic gold medalists. Participants even had the chance to tour the Ducks locker room and play a game on the professional ice.

Why It Matters This event creates a welcoming space for neighbors of all ages to learn a new sport and see local leaders in action. The celebration wrapped up on March 8 with a special community game night featuring athlete autograph sessions and recognition of women trailblazers in the industry.
