Our “California Adventure” a Road Trip to the West (Update: Day 17 - There and back again)

First, that is awesome news about your Hawaii trip ... and agree that it would be weird/hard to go all the way to Hawaii and not stop at Aulani

Meeting up and/or getting ready in the morning was one of the parts I found most challenging with traveling with other families. At times it felt like time was being wasted by having to wait at various meetup points/times. Sounds like all in all wasn't too bad for you with the whole trip was considered though

That's pretty cool that the shuttle bus was also a bit of a tour and stopped for pictures as well

Wow! That is such a cool spot for a picnic!

And then crossing through the meadow


cool picture - almost looks like you could be in the Swiss Alps or something, with hills alive with the sound of music and what not

Oh, per the Yosemite Hikes website: "The Swinging Bridge, so called because it goes to both sides of the river," but I don't really understand that as doesn't any bridge, but definition, go to both sides of something? :confused3 Also, apparently the Wawona Swinging Bridge is one in Yosemite that actually swings.

It was interesting because a TON of people passed us by. But I don’t think any of them were Americans!
It's interesting how people from other countries come to explore so much of the U.S. yet so many of us never do. I work for a Swiss Company so have a lot of people from Europe who come to the U.S. at times and they always allot time to see so many more sites in my own country that I have never seen. Guess it is like how people who live in NYC never go to the top of the Empire State Building or to the Statue of Liberty - unless people from out of town come and want to see it.

Lots of rocking chairs on the porch.

... full of people on their phones enjoying the wifi ;)

ah, a nice good beer that is very cold after a long hot day is pretty much paradise to me ... sounds like a nice evening after a great day
 
Your pictures from Yosemite are breathtakingly beautiful and spectacular! Thank you for sharing them.

Waiting for others to get ready is maddening. We had an eye opening experience years ago as to just how rude our friends could be.
 
Awesome update, your pictures are great. I especially enjoyed it because after some discussion the past few nights at dinner, I got up this morning and reserved two nights at the Yosemite Lodge at the Falls (yes, for one year from today!).

Time to start planning :yay:
 


We're planning a similar trip to this next year so I've been loving your report so far. Wonderful photo's of Yosemite. It's making me excited to visit as we've just managed to secure accommodation in the park ready for the trip. Looking forward to the rest.

That's awesome. I hope you have as much fun as we did! :thumbsup2

WOW! What an amazing set of memories at Yosemite Valley. Beautiful!
I definitely have to go back there someday. Thanks for sharing.

I have to go back there someday too!!!!!! :rotfl:

Another awesome day! Beautiful pictures and it looks like so much fun.

Thanks! Lots and lots of fun :goodvibes

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is challenged by non-punctual people. I guess it's different priorities and stuff, some people just aren't time conscious and don't realize the impact it has on others who put in the extra effort to be on time. Of course we are all late for something every now and then, but I try to make it the rare exception :cool1:

Almost!!! I've been to the French Alps a couple times (near Chamonix and Mt. Blanc) and this was every bit as beautiful. And in many ways, more beautiful!!! Lucky for the rest of our group, I never broke out in song. (I can't carry a tune.)

That is so cool!!!! :hippie::hippie::hippie::hippie: We really wanted to stay at the Yosemite Lodge at the Falls too, but they were booked within minutes on the day we called. Great job!!!! You're going to have a blast!
 
Wow, what a day! I spent a lot of time "camping" like that, with my grandparents, growing up. What wonderful memories for everyone!!

Day 10 - Sunday June, 21 - L.A. Live Steamers and Bob Gurr!!!

It was a bummer to only have 1.5 days in Yosemite, but no worries as we were heading for one my most anticipated anticipated activities of the whole trip… Seeing Walt’s Barn in Griffith Park, riding the trains, and meeting Bob Gurr!

As I mentioned earlier, we’re the only die hard Disney fan’s on Stephanie’s side of the family, so the idea of getting up super early to see more Walt stuff didn’t appeal to the rest of the family. So we bid them all farewell the night before and agreed to meet up at the Candy Cane Inn in Anaheim later in the day.

Our goal was to get on the road at 5:00 AM. (We wanted to arrive in LA around 1:00 or 2:00 and didn’t want to risk being late due to traffic or any accidents.) So that meant we had to get up around 4:15 AM to load the car and get on the road. Wow, you could really see the stars!!!!

As we approached our departure, I grabbed a couple photos of the dark sky. And then sure enough, we were off right at 5am.



It was surreal driving on the winding roads through the Valley when it was still somewhat dark and lonesome. Such a contrast to the super crowded traffic the day before.

A little while later, we had made it to tunnel view. I’ve never tried HDR photography before, but since it was fairly dark still (the sun was just below the horizon), I decided to give it a try. The following photo was a combination of 6 or 7 individual photos with some under exposed and some overexposed. In the end, the photo looks like it was taken in the daylight, but it was still sort of dark. Not the the quality that I had hoped for, but it still turned out pretty well, I think.



Overall, the drive to LA was fairly uneventful and boring. Which was a welcome change after the last few busy days!!! As we approached LA, we needed gas and figured that we might as well stop for lunch. We Yelped a bit and saw that an In-N-Out was just off the highway, so we pulled off. Except for, no dice, it was closed for refurbishment. Bummer! We went ahead and got gas across the street and while I was doing that, Stephanie Yelped for other options that were nearby. There was a place called “Teriyaki Madness” down the road that had great reviews. Why not?!?!? Everyone was game, so we headed that way. It was in some sort of funky shopping complex with a fake trolley outside. Cool, I guess...



It was just before 11am, and they had recently opened. I think we were the first customers and they were happy to greet us. Oh, and I forgot, it was Fathers Day. They offered us 20% off our meal to help celebrate. Cool! We mostly all ordered versions of teriyaki chicken.

I had spicy teriyaki chicken and yakisoba. It was yummy!!!



Stephanie and Princess both had regular teriyaki and rice.



Buddy went with just the chicken and rice



And Pickle went with brown rice and shrimp tempura.



All in all, it was a delicious meal. Especially for being counter service. Maybe a little better than a Sansai and definitely much better than anything you’d get in the mall like Sarku.

We relaxed in the shade for a while and then headed to Griffith Park.

Another hour or so, and we had arrived!!!



We decided to ride a train with the L.A. Live Steamers first. (And you know, Walt Disney, was a founding member of this club.) I think it was about $3 per person, not bad. This was probably my favorite small scale train ride ever. We have a good one here in St. Louis, and I mentioned the awesome one that we rode out to Royal Gorge in Colorado. This was cooler than those because it had a lot of turns, tunnels, straights, trestles, etc. with lots of cool scenery too.

It took about 20 minutes to get through the line. This place is popular!



And a few minutes later, it was our turn to get on.



The whole ride was about 10 to 15 minutes long. It sure was a lot of fun! Here’s a video with a couple minutes of the highlights.


Next up, was to head over to Walt’s Barn. So, yeah, the barn is only open once a month, we timed this Sunday over a year in advance. LOL!!! But we didn’t know then, that they’d be having the opening event for their new “Trains of Disneyland” exhibit. Or that Bob Gurr would be there for a meet and greet. We found that out a couple months earlier before we left. I really got excited then. I mean Bob Gurr?!?!? Mr. Monorail himself?!?!? The guy who designed the Autopia cars, and the Matterhorn Bobsleds?!?!? And the Haunted Mansion Doom Buggies?!?!? And countless other Disneyland ride vehicles. Wow, what an opportunity!

Anyway, we headed over to the barn area and it was PACKED! They had quite the turnout for the opening of the new trains exhibit. But we made good time driving from Yosemite, and it was a lovely day, and we had plenty of time, so we didn’t care.

Even though it was packed, it was full of kindred spirits. Pretty much everyone there were true Walt Disney fans. (Not just people taking their kids to a theme park.) Our kind of people!!! There was plenty of good energy and positive vibes all around!!!

Only a couple people were lined up to meet Bob, so we headed over there first. (Most were in line to tour the barn.)

Remember the pin and post card that we picked up in Marceline?



We were excited to share them with Bob and he graciously accepted. He said that he didn’t have anything from Marceline and thought they were pretty cool. He even let Pickle apply the pin to his shirt.



He ended up having an L.A. barn pin on his right shirt collar and a Marceline barn pin on his left shirt collar. He wore the pin the rest of the day, so that was pretty cool!

I made a quick video of the interaction...


We also asked him to sign the stamps that the kids had cancelled at Walt Disney Post Office in Marceline.



And then Buddy asked him to sign some monorail track from his play set. As Buddy walked up with them, Bob said, “Hey, I know what those are!”



We had him sign two. One for Eli, and one for a fellow monorail fan! ;)

I didn’t ask for anything to be signed, I preferred a photo with the Disney Legend himself!



We chatted with Bob for several minutes. He was super friendly, warm and open. Such a right on guy!

Here’s a better photo of our autographs. You can't buy vacation souvenirs this cool!!!! (At least that's what I hope the kids say when they look at these when they are all grown up.)



Next up, we decided to get in line to go inside Walt's Barn and tour the train exhibit...
 
How fun to time your trip and catch meeting Bob Gurr! He is adorable! I met him at Kurt Russell's wine dinner last year and he is a hoot! Everytime I see the gravedigger in the HM, I'm reminded of him. :)

We used to have a Teriyaki Madness but it closed...I really liked it!

Jill in CO
 
Beautiful Yosemite pictures and how neat that you were able to meet Bob Gurr and get the toy monorail signed - what a unique momento! I am really enjoying your report!

Your Hawaii trip sounds great! Three days at Aulani will be a perfect cap to your vacation ... you will probably be all toured out by then and ready to just sit back and enjoy the resort!
 
OMG! Bob Gurr! And he sounds sooo coool! Awesome that he's so nice.
That's a great travel souvenir that money cannot buy. Your kids are going to treasure that in future years.

And thanks for putting the videos together. I'm really enjoying it all.
 
Since you like Vans and going to the Aulani, there a store call Journeys that has an exclusive Aloha Mickey Vans skate shoes.

Great trip report.:)

That's cool that you were able to meet him too. Such a neat guy! I wondered if Teriyaki Madness was a chain. Too bad yours closed!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm sure we'll be toured out by the time we reach Aulani. But you are right, it'll be nice to just go down to the pools and relax!!!

Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying it. We've found that writing a trip report is a great way to remember our vacations. (So I love the show and tell aspect, but the self-serving aspect is great too!) Stephanie and I sometimes go back and read through our previous trip reports and it's amazing how soon you forget things, and it's cool to be reminded of them :)

Since you like Vans and going to the Aulani, there a store call Journeys that has an exclusive Aloha Mickey Vans skate shoes.

Great trip report.:)

Thanks! I hadn't blew all my "fun money", I'd totally have a pair of those Aloha Vans too! :rotfl2:
 
Day 10 - Sunday June, 21 - Walt’s Barn in Griffith Park

So yeah, this was opening day for their new “Trains of Disneyland” exhibit. Normally, the exhibits inside the barn focus on Walt’s Carolwood Pacific Railroad (the one that ran at his home, where this barn was relocated from), but for the next several months, they have this new exhibit set up. We love Walt, we love trains, and we love Disneyland. Sounds great, let’s go get in line!

It was pretty crowded. The line to enter the barn wrapped all the way round behind it. But again no worries, we were surrounded by lots of true Disney fans and there was good energy abound.



It took about 45 minutes to get through the line, but there were always things to look at, and it didn't seem like it took that long at all.

As we made our way around from the back of the barn to the side, we saw Ollie Johnston’s station.



If that name doesn’t ring a bell, Ollie was one of Walt’s “Nine Old Men.” He pretty much played a part in animating all of the Disney classic movies that you can think of (Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, etc.) And he was a train fan too, I think even before Walt took up the hobby.

Anyway, Ollie had a full size steam engine running on his property, and this was his strain station! (Another cool note, is that when Ollie was too old to operate the train, he sold it around 2002. Guess who he sold it to? John Lasseter!!!!! John has a full size track running around his property up in Sonoma with Ollie’s train. Pretty cool stuff!

Oh, and if you haven't see the Frank & Ollie movie, run, don't walk to wherever you rent/purchase DVD's and get it!!! (You can rent/stream it from Amazon.) It's truly a warm and touching movie.

http://movies.disney.com/frank-and-ollie

A little bit further around the barn, we came across the Retlaw 1 combine. This was modeled off an old train car that carried both passengers and freight. (Apparently, this was the type of car that Walt worked out of when he worked on the Santa Fe selling stuff to passengers as a kid.) Anyway, this car ran on the original Disneyland railroad, but was apparently removed from service because it did’t offer the easy views of the park that the train cars have today. Oh, and read 'Retlaw' backwards! ;)



Next up in the line, we came across some sort of strange steam plant. I guess the purpose was to demonstrate how steam engines work, but we didn’t really have much time to check it out. It had a long rope to a steam whistle that hung over the fence. The kids had blast blowing the whistle!





It was almost our turn to enter the barn. While we were waiting, we were serenaded by a guy with a guitar singing old railroad and Disney songs. He was a hoot. (See the video clip below.)



A few minutes later, we were inside. Although it’s been relocated, it was pretty darn cool to be inside of Walt’s happy place. Thinking about all the time he must have spent tinkering around in here! And cool to think that we were at the site of his boyhood barn just a week earlier!



Anyway, the barn is full of permanent and temporary artifacts. They had a few staff members on hand to answer questions and sort of guide you through the exhibit. I’m not going to share everything, but just a few photos...













(Kevin and Jody rule, by the way.)



Hey TheMaxRebo, this one’s for you!



We probably spent about 30 minutes looking at all the artifacts. This was cool stuff. Right up our alley!!! If you are ever near Griffith Park (about 45 minutes north of Disneyland) on that third Sunday of the month, you should definitely go visit Walt’s Barn!!!

Here’s a short video with a few highlights:




After visiting the barn, we decided to visit the souvenir stand. They had some cool posters on discount, so Buddy and I each purchased one. (Ignore the pins for now, we picked those up in Disneyland. I just needed something to keep the poster flat.)



It was now about 2pm and we had to decide whether or not to head to Anaheim and check-in to the hotel, or to hit a couple other Walt related sites in the area. The kids decided that they’d rather go swim in the pool. So off to the Candy Cane Inn it was!
 
I've enjoyed so many aspects of this trip report, San Francisco, Yosemite, now meeting Bob Gurr! I'm officially jealous!
 
Day 10 - Sunday June, 21 - Candy Cane Inn & Downtown Disney

About an hour later, we pulled into the Candy Cane Inn. Wow, after 10 days of traveling, it felt good to arrive in Anaheim, knowing that we’d be staying put for the next five nights!



The rest of the family were still a couple hours away, so we headed into the office to check in for everyone. Guess what they had inside the office?



A little background on our hotel choice... we had decided that staying on property was out of our budget this time around. And again, with the rest of the family only being fair weathered Disney fans, they wouldn’t have wanted to pay the premium anyway.

Stephanie spent a few hours a while back exploring all the hotel options and reading feedback on the DisBoards. Ultimately, we narrowed it down to HOJO and Candy Cane Inn. Stephanie and I stayed at the HOJO back in 2010 and we really enjoyed it, especially since we had a balcony that looked straight at the Matterhorn (great for fireworks.) Back in 2010 HOJO was a no brainer, because it was much cheaper than a lot of its competition. Seems that they’ve raised prices this time around, because was no longer the obvious choice.

While both options are about the same walking distance and similar quality, the Candy Cane Inn had a couple things going for it over HOJO for our group. #1. Free shuttle. (This wasn’t huge for us, but Stephanie’s parents are in their early 70’s, and while they are in pretty good health, this was a nice option for them.) #2. Free continental breakfast. (That’s not terrible.) HOJO wins for the pools and views, but the concensus, from the group was that the shuttle and breakfast was more important on this trip. So that’s where we ended up.

Anyway, we checked in and I was able to take a few photos before the rooms became trashed with luggage and souvenirs.









The rooms were actually quite nice. No strange smells or anything either!

We got unpacked and settled in. Steph, Princess, and Buddy all relaxed in the room for a while, and then Pickle and I headed over to the pool. Which turned out to be just across from our room. How convenient!

And while we were wrapping up in the pool, the rest of the family arrived.

While they were unpacking and unwinding, our group was fairly rested up, so we decided to get a head start on the evening, and head over to Downtown Disney for dinner. We went ahead and took the shuttle over, as it was about to depart as we walked past it anyway. Score!

Within a couple minutes, we were walking across the esplanade. We’re here! Let the magic begin!!!!



We decided to go ahead and pick up our park tickets before going any further. We purchased our tickets back in February from ARes travel before the price went up. You end up with a voucher that you print off and bring to one of the ticket booths. We traded in the voucher for our 3-day park hopper passes and we were ready to go. Bonus was that it a couple minutes, as there was no line!!!

So, yeah, we decided to make our way through DTD for dinner.



Stephanie and Princess really wanted to eat at Earl of Sandwich (for the turkey holiday sandwich), but Buddy and Pickle weren’t feeling it. We decided to split up at that point. Since Earl of Sandwich is next door to the Disneyland hotel, I took Buddy and Pickle over to Tangaroa Terrace and then Stephanie and Princess would meet us there.

Disneyland hotel is the bomb. We stayed there in 2013 and it’s one of our favorite Disney hotels. Such an amazing place. Anyway, walking to Tangaroa Terrace, you pass through the Sorcerer Mickey hat… and it had a cool Diamond celebration emblem on it.



Heads up!



I have to admit, that I was really wishing that we had decided to stay here.



We took the shortcut to the back entrance, passing the Adventure tower.



We went inside the back entrance to the restaurant, ordered our food, and then found an outdoor seat out front.



And yeah, I’m a sucker for anything Tiki related!!!



We waited for our food to come out, and then Stephanie and Princess found us.

What did we get?

I got the shrimp tacos. Pretty darn tasty!



Buddy got a bacon cheeseburger. Without cheese. And the bacon on the side. LOL.



My kids LOVE Disney bacon. Somehow, they convinced Stephanie to go inside and order more bacon for each of them. Ha!



Oh and getting my story straight. Turns out Pickle got a grilled cheese sandwich from Earl of Sandwich, but we ordered her some fries from here.





Princess got a wrap



And Stephanie was stoked to have her holiday turkey sandwich (with stuffing and cranberry sauce).



Yummy!!!

Such a great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

OK, so we are next to to Trader Sam’s. We can’t NOT get drinks, right?!?! It was pretty crowded, so I decided to get a couple drinks to bring back out to the patio. They asked if I wanted them to go, but they misunderstood and thought that I meant that we were leaving the premises, so they gave them to us in plastic cups. Not as fun as drinking out of tiki glasses, but no big deal.

Stephanie fell in love with the Piranha Pool on our last visit, and dreamed of having another one ever since. (It’s some sort of frozen concoction made with vodka instead of rum. Delicious!)



And I went with the Krakatoa Punch!!! (With comes with special effects inside the bar when you order one!) It’s not a Mai Tai, but it’s a rum drink in that vein. Very tasty!!!



And I ordered mine with the souvenir mug, to go. They just wrapped it up for me, which made it convenient to carry around the rest of the evening.

Here are a couple photos of the mug.





And here it is next to a few Tiki souvenirs from previous Disney trips. I guess, I’m starting a Tiki mug collection now.



After we finished our drinks, we decided to explore the resort for a little while before moving on. The pool area is truly spectacular!





Brings back great memories. If you ever have the chance to stay here, I highly recommend it. This is Disney at its finest! (Feel free to go back to our older trip report, if you are interested in reading about our previous experiences at the Disneyland Hotel.)

Anyway, after walking around the hotel grounds for a while, we decided to head back into Downtown Disney as the others would be heading that way and joining us soon.

I don't usually take the time to read through trip reports, but yours caught my eye. My husband and I have been dreaming of taking our DD, 3, on this exact trip, possibly next August. We would be leaving from Lexington, KY, a few hours east of you. Our plan is to see my brother and niece in San Francisco, and then go south to Anaheim area. It has been so neat to see the stops you picked, as we have no idea where to begin planning!

I love all the Walt history you took in. I'm a sucker for history and museums, although with a young one it is tougher to fit in! Which one of the walt stops was your favorite?

Your photos from the stop in Yosemite are positively breathtaking! I am 1000% jealous of every stop on your trip! Was the hiking at Yosemite rough?

I can't wait to read about the rest of your trip! It sounds amazing!

That's really awesome. I hope it works out and that you'll be able to do a similar trip. It was amazing and I highly recommend it!

Which stop was my favorite? That's a tough call!!!! I'd say that my favorite was Walt's Barn in Griffith Park, because of the opening of the train exhibit and because we were able to meet Bob Gurr. If I was to take those two items out of the equation, then I'd say the Walt Disney Family Museum in SF was my favorite. The museum was outstanding! Marceline is always a lot of fun, but I've been there several times before.

None of the hiking we did in Yosemite was rough at all, not even close to the amount of walking we did at Disneyland!!!! The youngest in the group was a 6 year old and she never complained once. A cool thing about Yosemite, is that many of the sites are easy to get to. You could even push a kid in in a stroller, as a lot of the sites are handicap accessible. If you are into serious hiking, then they have you covered too. But having only a day and a half, we chose the "scratch the surface" hikes.

The train barn looks awesome! I have to plan a trip around the day it is open...it looks so cool!

Yay for arriving at DL! I love Trader Sams. Such a fun place.
