| A blog about everything...eclectic and a reflection of me...and hopefully interesting to others. |
| I'm back with you talking about Disneyland. Let's pick up on giving you some tips. When you enter Disneyland, decide which attractions you want to visit most (this means first). If you choose Space Mountain. Ride that first because the lines will never get shorter during the day. Then make your way across Main Street to Adventureland and ride Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and Splash Mountain.(Get to this before it closes down to be rebranded). If you are interested in Star Wars, make your way to Galaxies' Edge. If you love Star Wars, hit Rise of the Resistance first, before anything else, then make your way to Space Mountain and follow the plan. If you want to follow the first plan, spend the extra money and get a lighning lane reservation asap for Rise of the Resistance. In fact, I strongly recommend Genie+ because you can ride a lot of attractions during the day. You may not follow the plan I've laid out but you will get on as many attractions as you can. |
| I've decided to make a travel blog. Until I have this cool-looking travel blog set-up, I'm going to add travel entries here and there into this blog, then move them. My first entry to the travel blog is for a place I know really well...Disneyland. I have been to Disneyland so many times, I grew up there, literally. My Dad was a member of the Magic Kingdom Club, a group of human resource managers who pushed the park on unsuspecting people. Just kidding. We would go to Disneyland every year for his annual meeting at Fantasyland Theater and my Mom would take us on Dumbo while we waited.. Then we would get a family picture of us in front of the castle. You can see us growing up from these pictures. Next came the annual passport years. I would buy an annual passport for me and my sister and my mom. We would go frequently and I knew the park by memory. I also had the perfect itinerary, that would get the most of your park visit. I'll get to that a little later. Then I was hired to work there. Dream come true. I worked in costuming so I can't say much more than that. I can only say that my favorite places to work included the parades (especially the Main Street Electrical Parade) and Fantasmic! At this time, I just signed people in with my pass (which I understaned you can't do anymore), In fact, don't get me started that Disneyland cast members don't even have a cast party or Minnie's Moonlight Madness. Do they even have the canoe races, anymore? What's wrong, Disney? Against giving anyone too much fun? Now, I'm back to annual passports, now called Magic Keys. I have the highest level of Magic Key--the Dream Key. I like it. You just have to get used to using the reservation system. I've never been able to get the day I want. Now, that's not what I can say for dining reservations, I've missed those at times I'm a big Blue Bayou fan so missing on that gets me a little down. Here's the information I hope will help you with your visit. Always plan ahead. Reserve as far ahead as possible, especially dining reservations, but if you miss, don't worry too much, keep checking, everyday if you can.. If you really want it,l subscribe to a dining reservation watch, like Mousewatcher (works for me), or a website like that. For a merchandise location, like Savi's lightsabers in Galaxie's Edge, reserve anyway. Usually you can get in there at the park without a reservation on all but the busiest days. No matter where you are in the park(s), always take your time to slow down and seek out little niches. For example, don't neglect Snow White's grotto at Disneyland right off the castle. It's so quiet and you can telll Walt Disney himself was there. Don't forget to listen either. You'll hear sounds you wouldn't expect piped in, showers, dogs barking, wookies in Galaxies' Edge. All kinds of things. If you can, just sit down and relax for a brief spell. You won't forget or regret it. |
| I need a vacation i have two choices that I”m looking at. One is a road trip through the Southwest. We’re planning to hit spots in Necada, Arizona, New Mexico, and possibly Utah and Texas. My other choice is a week at Walt Disney World. It seems as if it is an easy decision. The open-air, beauty, nature, and history of the Southwest sounds amazing. Hold on, though. We love Disney. We haven’t een there in over a decade. We want to stayat Animal Kingdom Losge and see the relatively free roaming animas from the hotel room. Ee also love EPCOT and plan to spend seval days there.this is also WDW’s 50 th Anniversary. In case you wonder the cost is approximtely the same, believe i or not, after we factor in souvenirs and gas to our road trip. What would you do? (Also some books to look at: Ancient Ruins of the Southwest: An Archaeological Guide by David Grant Noble and Birnbaums Walt Disney World, The Official Vacation Guide 2022). Have fun! |
