Our top picks for the week

Go to Disneyland for a chance to win a free stay in Walt Disney’s secret lair (uncompleted at the time of his death), a 2,200-square-foot apartment above the Pirates of the Caribbean. Every day for the entire year a lucky park guest will be randomly selected to stay the night—free. For more details log on to disneyparks.com.

Hear “Moment of Forever” by Willie Nelson. Our most durable genius, Nelson sounds so darned engaged, even on the songs where he has to wrestle his way through the cluttered production ($13.98).

See the George Washington Carver exhibit at the Field Museum in Chicago. This interactive show explores the life of Carver, who was born a slave and went on to become one of our greatest agricultural researchers and educators (through July 6; fieldmuseum.org).

Eat Intentional Chocolates. These tasty treats have been blessed by Buddhist monks. With 10 percent of proceeds going to charity, it’s hard not to feel good (intentionalchocolate.com).

Visit New York’s Rockefeller Center for a special “Skate-a-Date” package. Enjoy dinner for two at the Rock Center Café, then work it off on the ice rink, all for $75 (through April 13; therinkatrockcenter.com).
