Disneyland

I'm still amazed how every square inch of land is utilized there. This is real-time view from our balcony at villas @ Grand Californian, so close to the redwood creek challenge

we had a 'view' studio for World of Color lol, if they say so

view of cars land still under construction from the ferris wheel

didn't notice they had this last time. My little green men t-shirt gave me the mojo to beat the mr on TSM he he

Alladin show still amazing!

Other than the fact that you need to stand foreverWOC nice show

 

[keishashadow]

Their version of magic memories promo shown on small world

anybody familiar with this silly symphony cartoon

I admit to both being a dark ride and small world geek!

missed the hourly small world clock work show last trip

anniversary dinner @ blue bayou, rest of the meals enjoyed their CS offerings which are far superior to WDW imo

DLH is wrapping up rennovation, new 'in' watering hole is Trader Sams...he'll give you two heads for one of yours...kungaloosh. A fun bunch, mostly CMs cutting loose.

obligatory rip off of TOT pic

Show me more, Janet!!!!! It's been a year since we were out there. It's pretty amazing how far along Cars Land has come! I totally agree about the food at DL, we were not disappointed at all on our trip.

We LOVED WOC! I really wish they could pull that off somewhere at WDW. Did you ride the new Mermaid ride they are putting in the expansion in Fl?

Thanks much for the pics Janet! Under 2 months until we go so definitely enjoying seeing DL pics. Where did you eat/where do you recommend? Most of the time it'll just be me and the 1 day I have with my son we'll be trying to cram everything in so looking for CS suggestions! Anything you think we definitely shouldn't miss compared to WDW? It's been nearly 10 years since we were at DL. I went through the guide books with my son and it sounds like his "must do" list consists of: Space, TSMM, California Screamin and the Sun Wheel - should be doable! Also want to squeeze in Pirates but interested in your thoughts!

Lovely pictures Keisha, Vegas looks spectacular

 

[tink1957]

Love the pics Janet, now you've made me want to visit DL even more...maybe I can talk the kids into it for our next trip... via Vegas of course.

we were there from weds to saturday, it was dead, no more than 10 minute wait except for TSM which really wasn't bad in the evening one day - 45 mins standby. they don't have FP for it. Otherwise, make it your 1st ride of the day, 1st grabbing FP tix to soarin on the way. The entrance to GCA is under construction, you have to take detour which places you in the park the far right side of soarin.

Pirates is def must do, it's much longer excellent! HM & SplMt not as good as WDW. BTM is better @ DL and seemed more exciting. The Sun Wheel takes forever to load. There are 2 different car types: the stationary (chicken ones which i picked lol) and ones that do their thing sliding on a loop...reminds me of a physics experiment.

I am all about dark rides, DL is king: Mr. Toad, Alice, Pinocchio, Snow White, Peter Pan is not as good as WDW, Roger Rabbit is fun u can amp it up ala tcup ride to spin if you like.

don't miss iindiana jones (why oh why didn't they put it in AK?) FP or space mt, i like the ride and cars set up (side by side) so much better than WDW.

They still allow u to use FP after the window of expiration.

The quality and options for CS food is amazing @ DL imo, but slightly pricer. We enjoyed the sandwiches @ the River Belle terrace. The following tray was under $13. Lots of interesting toppings and everything was fresh tasting.

Had chicken nuggets (real, whole pieces of chicken) and the stage door place next to river belle only because it was only place we could find open after the FW one night. Once again missed the pomme frittes (sp) at the french quarter restaurant darn it, gumbo supposed to be almost as good as blue bayous which was great. I was disappointed in my strip steak. Ordered med came well done, wound up giving most of it to DH. They did give us anniversary dessert.

In GCA, they have a kiosk with real coffeedid a fine job with my carmel latte. Across from it in the area where the boudin bakery area & outdoor food court is I enjoyed the brocolli cheese soup in bread bowl but noticed an excellent looking chicken salad on the next table lol.

Enjoyed a dole whip and one of the bengal chicken skewers as a snack (they're not big enough for a meal).

Any other questions, let me know...when are you going?

ds just checked into caribbean beach for his school trip. They perform tomorrow at 12:30 in Downtown, then back to rooms to change. Don't you all think they should head from hotel after they get changed to hollywood or epcot (which has extra evening magic hrs) Stupid director wants all to go to MK just to see then go from there where they want. I'm just thinking of the wasted bus time to MK from the Caribbean.

What are your thoughts?

Oh and heeyyyy
