Hey guys! It's been quite awhile since I have checked in. Sorry about that. Hope you all have been well and that you have had a great Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Not sure if I have posted it on here but we now live in Arizona near Phoenix. It has been a really long time since we have been able to make a trip to Disney. The move and job situation has taken a toll on our wallets. Well today for Christmas my husband surprised me with a short trip to DL and Universal Hollywood! I cried like a baby. We will have 2 days at DL and one at Universal. I can't wait to see all the new stuff since our last trip to DL. It's been maybe 10 years. I also am excited to see what my daughter thinks of Wizarding World. We leave in a week. Gonna be busy but I'll still be glad to be there. If any of you have been there recently and have any tips I'd be grateful to hear them.
Again I hope you are all well and have a great holiday season!!!!

Two days is short; however, you can do quite a bit there in two days as opposed to the World. Here are a few tips:
1) Definitely do all the classic rides at DL that don't exist at MK: Mr Toad's, Snow White, Matterhorn, Storybook Land, Nemo submarine to name a few
2) Definitely do the rides that are shared with MK as a few are much better at DL: POTC, Space Mtn, IASW, Haunted Mansion (though it's close to a tie)
3) Don't be expecting too much from the castle as it's not nearly as impressive Cindy's Castle
4) In California Adventure, be sure to do Cars Land (though you'll want to FP that one), as well as California Screamin, and Soarin
5) Definitely do World of Color. You can do a dining package with that one, and it might be worth not having to wait the extra hour and a half or two to line up in the regular lines since you only have two days.
6) Don't stress over places to eat. There isn't a real competition for restaurants as there is at WDW. And don't be afraid to get out of the parks and eat in Downtown Disney since it sits just outside both gates.
7) For a real treat and special dinner, I would make a reservation at Napa Rose. Perfect way to end the trip. And explore the Grand Californian as it will remind you of VWL. Very beautiful.
I'm sure others will have more tips, but these are off the top of my head. Enjoy!
