Memorial Day

Remember the sacrifice.

Where to start...

So you are considering a trip to Disneyland, but the first question is when should we go...?

Summers busy and hot.... Spring Break is crazy.... The holidays are crazy busy... 

Disneyland is busy year round, yes there are times that will be slower then others but on average Disneyland see around 41,000 guest a day. Disneyland can hold 70,000 to 80,000 guess before they will close their gates. 

Disneyland celebrates many holidays thought the year.

When is your favorite time to visit Disneyalnd?

It's all about the food!

Good food and Disneyland go hand in hand. Whether you are sitting down to eat a meal or looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth. There have only been a few restaurants in Disneyland that we have not enjoyed. Here is a list of my top 5 favorite foods in no particular order ...

1. Disneyland Carmel apples are so good.... No other Carmel apples compare!

2. Turkey sandwich with the Lemon honey bee cupcake from the Hungry Bear restaurant Critter Country.

3. Dole Whip located by the Tiki Room.... Not a fan of the Dole Whip float... But love the Dole Whips!

4. Gumbo in a bread bowl from the Royal Street Veranda.

5. Salmon from the Blue Bayou, the restaurant you float by inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Well now that I am hungry....

How my Disney Adventure started!

Hey...

Thought I would start off this magical Disney blog by sharing how my Disney story started.

My first trip to Disneyland was before I was even two years old. 

Thank you mom for starting me on the mouse adventure young.

Since then I have travel from Utah to Disneyland on over 15 trips to in 30 years time. 

In 2014 I was a season pass holder for the first time... Wahoo!!! With each trip to the happiest place on earth my enjoyment for all things Disney grows. There is something so simple yet magical with the way the park makes you feel. Yes... I have kids that get tired and hangry ... side note hangry: so hungry you are angry... Mouseketeer one and Mouseketeer two.

But its Disneyland.... often when the hangry moments hit we find the best un kept secrets of the park. Sometimes you just need to stop and watch the world of mouse go by.

I am constantly having friends and strangers ask me to help them plan their next magical adventure.... this is where the blog comes in. I feel like I just have too much to share not to share it with everyone who would want to read it. I hope you will keep following along on my Disneyland Adventure.
