Are you planning on visiting the Fashion Island Shopping Center for the highly anticipated and local favorite, Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony? I wanted to share a few tips with you if you plan on going since I didn't quite make it to the event last time due to poor planning. This time around, I'll be doing an early dinner and get some holiday shopping done with a couple girlfriends before the lighting ceremony. I'm super excited to experience holiday cheer and get to bundled up in real winter wear for this occasion.What: Fashion Island's Annual Holiday Tree Lighting hosted by Mickey Mouse & Friends from the Disneyland� Resort
