Cafe Orleans at Disneyland Park

travelmagicstg2014-12-03T06:00:00-05:00December 3, 2014|Dining, Disneyland, Disneyland|0 Comments

Located in the heart of New Orleans Square, Cafe Orleans serves up delicious creole-cajun cuisine with a charming atmosphere. Home to the famous Monte Cristo sandwich, this picturesque restaurant offers scrumptious entrees and beautiful vistas. Cafe Orleans is a great alternative to the Blue Bayou. It is easier to get a reservation and comes at a cheaper price. While Cafe Orleans doesn’t offer views of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, guests can view a much larger ship – the Sailing Ship Colombia! Princess Tiana also makes appearances in New Orleans, so you may catch a glimpse of her walking by [...]

Club Level Lounge at the Grand Californian

travelmagicstg2014-10-17T06:30:00-04:00October 17, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

I have been lucky enough to stay club level at Disneyland’s Grand Californian (the Craftsman Club) a handful of times over the past few years, and I have to say it is one of the most relaxed and laid back lounges I have been in. When you exit the elevators on the club level floor, you are greeted by cast members at two desks welcoming you and asking if you need anything. You then follow the hallway to a door where you must swipe your gold key to get into the lounge. The lounge is very rustic with lots of [...]

A friend of mine recently asked me if there were any Toy Story characters or rides at Disney. Her son is a big fan of all three movies, as well as the short films, and she was hoping there would be something Toy Story themed that she could share with him on their upcoming trip... Well, friend, you're in luck! Here are the top ways to enjoy Toy Story at Disney's Parks: At Walt Disney World, there are several places to enjoy the Toy Story theme: In Magic Kingdom, go to Tomorrowland where you can test your skill shooting lasers [...]

Disneyland Hotel

The Disneyland Hotel is the classic hotel of the Disneyland Resort. It was originally opened as a motor inn and was the first to operate under the Disney name. The main lobby is filled with Disney nostalgia including Alice in Wonderland, Dumbo, and it’s a small world. The hotel has 990 rooms divided into 3 Towers - Adventure, Fantasy and Frontier. The “lobby” in each tower includes nods to attractions in that land at the Disneyland park. The hotel has standard rooms and suites ranging from 740 to 3400 square feet. Some of these amazing suites include the Pirates of [...]

My Top 10 Reasons to Stay at a Disneyland Resort Hotel

travelmagicstg2014-07-25T07:00:00-04:00July 25, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

You know, any trip to Disneyland is a good trip! You just can’t go wrong at Walt Disney’s original theme park! My very first trip to Disneyland was when I was 40 years old. My husband finally got up the nerve to take the whole family and we planned the trip to fit our minimal budget. Since I’d never been to either Disneyland or Walt Disney World, I had no idea what I was in for. We stayed at a modest Good Neighbor hotel. We waited for a shuttle every early morning for what felt like hours. We waited again [...]

Death Match 2014 – Days 12 & 13 trip report

Leaving Los Angeles Day 12 - This morning, my six-year-old woke up feeling a bit better again. I was glad, as it was time to pack up all our belongings and hit the road. Again. But before we left, we had breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel. The food was plentiful and delicious, and we had an added bonus: Cinderella made an appearance during our meal! That really made Amber's day. It really made my ten-year-old's day to have a plate of cookies for "dessert of breakfast"! After breakfast, we got the minivans, divvied up the kids, and [...]

Death Match 2014 – Day 11 trip report

travelmagicstg2014-06-26T14:01:00-04:00June 26, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

Disneyland Park Well, my little one has been fighting some sort of illness for a few days now, and we had a bad night. So my older guys went with Gina and her crew to enjoy Disneyland Park at opening time, to knock out lots of rides as quickly as possible, and Amber & I joined them later in the morning. I'm a big proponent of arriving early at any of the Disney parks whenever possible. If you can get there when the park opens, you'll be able to see and do so many things in the first two hours! [...]

Death Match 2014 – Day 10 trip report

Disney California Adventure Background: About a year ago, I got a great idea for a road trip. I'd take my kids, fly from my hometown of Houston TX , to San Diego CA, and then drive from San Diego to Oakland. We'd stop and see all the sights along the way, and then fly home from Oakland. Then I asked my friend Gina, who lives in California, if she'd like to come along. With her kids. She agreed, and Death Match 2014 was born. Two ladies, seven kids, and a 15-day road trip up the California Coast. Day 10 - [...]
