During your next visit to Disneyland, be sure to set aside time for a rejuvenating visit to the Tenaya Stone Spa at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Inspired by California's nature and indigenous cultures, it is one of two Disney-run and Imagineer-designed spas in the world. Pat yourself on the back if you know that the other is located at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. You will enter through the beautifully-designed reception area and boutique. Be sure to look up at the tree root chandelier. Before entering the spa itself, guests will select a stone from [...]

Returning to the Land Walt Built

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 [...]

When someone mentions “Disneyland” or “Walt Disney World,” what’s the first thing that pops into your head? The price? Mickey Mouse? The castle? For me, it’s 2 things... churros and Mickey Mouse ears. Random, I know, but is there anything cuter than a little kid eating a churro while wearing their Mickey Mouse ears? The first time I went to Disney was as an adult, and let me tell you, my head is too big for their cute ear headbands and Mickey ears. This was devastating as I had always wanted them. Seeing that I was Queen of Hearts head [...]

First Timer’s Guide: The Cove Bar

When I found out that I would be going to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, the first thing I knew that I wanted to do was go to the Cove Bar, located on Disney’s California Adventure side. Mainly because all the drinks looked so colorful and I heard that they didn't skimp on the alcohol. And man was I pleasantly surprised. When you first show up to the Cove Bar there's a wait like any normal restaurant, except this is just a bar/lounge area. The Cove Bar also doesn't have a reservation line. You just have to wait. I [...]

Why Should You Visit Disneyland?

Whether you’ve visited Walt Disney World in Florida a hundred times, or you’re still planning your first trip, here are a few reasons to consider visiting the Disneyland Resort in California.

There are many attractions here that don’t exist in other parks. Don’t miss Indiana Jones Adventure or Radiator Springs Racers. (While their ride systems are similar to other attractions at other parks, the experiences are one of a kind!) The Cars Land area [...]

Beyond Disneyland

One of my favorite topics about Disney is what to do outside of Disney! Because there is so much more to do in Orlando or Anaheim that just come to the parks and leave! This time, our Disney adventure took us into the areas around Los Angeles! Our first side trip was the Orange County Beach Bus Tour! The OC Beach Bus Tour is a tour is provided by Anaheim Tour Company and is an excursion that you can add on to your Disneyland Package. Your Travel With The Magic Specialist can do this for you! We loved it! We [...]

Disneyland Resort has recently introduced a new ticket option called Maxpass. Maxpass is designed to work with the Fastpass system to help you maximize your park time at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. What is Fastpass? Fastpass is a free option that Disneyland offers to everyone that has park admission. You visit a kiosk for a specific attraction and insert your park tickets. You are then given a separate paper ticket with your Fastpass return time. During this hour long timeframe, you may visit the attraction listed and enter the Fastpass line which is usually shorter than the [...]
