Returning to the Land Walt Built

2024-01-03T14:34:16-05:00May 7, 2021|Disney Travel, Disneyland|0 Comments

While I love Walt Disney World, there is something special about Disneyland. Being able to walk the same pathways as Walt himself is a remarkable feeling. I visited Disneyland for the first time in 2015 for the 60th anniversary and immediately fell in love. Last December, my family moved to Monterey, California. We frequently move for my husband’s job and have had the opportunity to live in some beautiful places over the years. In July 2020, we found out California would be our next destination, and to say I was ecstatic is an understatement. We had been in Florida for [...]

We had 4 adults and 2 children traveling. Due to the size of our group, we were split into 2 separate rooms. When [...]
