Downtown Disney Anaheim

Disneyland was fun, don't get me wrong. It was smiley and cheesy, and really just what we expected. There were tons of tourists and it cost tons of money. It was fun... but it just wasn't quite tons of fun. Let me preface this post by saying that if you love Disneyland, I totally get it. The action-packed rides, the ridiculously cheerful …

Guten Morgen liebe Leser, meine Berichterstattung erfolgt nicht mehr so ganz in Echtzeit. Na ja die Zeitverschiebung zwischen Nevada und Kalifornien bringt ein bisschen alles durcheinander. Nach 4,5 Stunden Fahrt durch die Mojave-Wüste bin ich wieder zurück in Kalifornien, genauer in Anaheim. Hier eröffnete Walt Disney 1955 den Themenpark " …

Today we checked out of our Los Angeles hotel and caught an Amtrak train down to Anaheim to go to... Disneyland!!

Tonight after we checked in at our hotel (Disney hotel - it is right next to the parks!) we walked through Downtown Disney. It's an area in between the Disneyland Park and the Disney California Adventures park, filled with …

Today we ventured into... DISNEYLAND!!

We decided to do California Adventure today, Disneyland tomorrow, and then switch between them both on Wednesday (we have a 3-day park hopper ticket, so we can go between parks on the same day). We got into California Adventure half an hour early cos we're staying at the Disney hotel and you can enter …

Our second day in the Disneyland parks. We decided to spend the day in the original Disneyland park, because we spent yesterday in the California Adventure park. We got to enter
the park at 8am (it opens to the public at 9am) because we are staying at a Disney hotel.

First thing we saw was the Sleeping Beauty castle. We went and got …

Todd and I decided to go to the California park and watch the shows we missed the other day, while Desiree rested in the hotel. We watched the Muppets 3D show, which was cool. There were some of the actual Muppets out on stage in the show. Then we went on the Monsters Inc ride, which was super cute.
We also went into the Animation centre and …

As you've probably guessed by now I'm running a day behind in our Blog updates, so hope to rectify everything over the next 24hours. Apologies also to Chris and Cath, for some reason I left you off the address list on our blog

Sleeeeeppppppyyyyy girls today, they needed a bit of kickstart to get moving so we could make full use of our …

Today we were woken up at 6:30am. We all got dressed and lazed around till 8:15 because we had to catch a bus to Universal Studios! We met up with Georgia and Sherry at the bus depot, and then continued on to Universal Studios. We had to listen to the bus driver ramble on the loud speaker about sights and facts that no one cared about.

We …

Today we woke up at 8am and we all were groggy from the day before. When it was time to head over to Disneyland, we all went downstairs while Aunty Liss went to purchase some stamps from the basement and subsequently we lost each other. The whole family couldn't find her. We searched the hotel grounds, the basement and back up to the room to see if …

Mandag morgen og pigerne var absolut ikke svære at få ud af fjerene. Planlægningen lød på San Diego - Anaheim, ca. 2 timers kørsel med forventet ankomst til Disney kl. 9.00. Som sagt så gjort - hotellet kunne ikke være placeret tættere på, i og med at vi ikke boede i selve Disney World. Det betød nu heller ikke noget - 5 min. gangs og vi var ved …
