If your kids watch Disney XD, like mine, they surely love this show.  This is the first English-language film based on the global Yo-kai Watch phenomenon, and features the voice talent from the hit show airing on Disney XD.

The film follows Nate Adams and his Yo-kai friends, Whisper and Jibanyan, as they’re transported to the past to help Nate’s grandfather, Nathaniel, battle evil Yo-kai and invent the Yo-kai Watch. Yo-kai Watch: The Movie Event also introduces a new Yo-kai — Hovernyan, a floating blue cat who is Nathaniel’s heroic companion.

RSVP for a chance to win a $50 gift card at the #YoKaiWatchMovie Twitter party October 13 at 1 p.m. ET / noon CT / 10 a.m. PT: http://bit.ly/2cU7zmw

You can see Yo-kai Watch: The Movie at LA Live 14 on Saturday, October 15, at 11 a.m., and have the opportunity to win fun Yo-kai Watch prizes. Check out all of the Hasbro Yo-kai Watch toys, take your photo with Yo-kai and play fun games!

Yo-kai Watch: The Movie Event attendees will also have a chance to receive a limited edition Hovernyan YO-MOTION YO-KAI MEDAL, while supplies last. Good idea to get your tickets now.

Outside of LA, you can find your local theater showing the film  and buy tickets at the Fathom Events site.

Halloween is one of the best times to visit Knott’s Berry Farm. While most of my readers withou young children won’t be visiting during the evening for #ScaryFarm, there is a daytime option for the entire family. During weekends in October, the park transforms into the all-ages Knott’s Spooky Farm, featuring kid friendly fun. There is trick or treating, spooky fun entertainment and delicious treats to be had all around the park.

We enjoyed the park on a pleasant Sunday afternoon. The crowds were light and the energy was fun. We have not been able to spend such a nice day together as a family in awhile, so this was an extra special treat. We tried to catch all the special Spooky Farm activities so we could share them with you. Below is our list of things you don’t wanna miss during your trip this season!

Knott’s Spooky Farms’ friendly monsters can be found haunting along Main Street in Ghost Town. This is where kids can do some trick-or-treating for tasty sweets. The streets are full of fun ghosts, not there to scare but to pose for pictures and chat with the little ones. You can see one of them in the top left picture above.
