My Top 10 Reasons to Stay at a Disneyland Resort Hotel

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

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

2014-06-28T08:35:42-04:00June 28, 2014|Disneyland|

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

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

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!
