The three day Disney look

How do you know that you’ve had too much of a good thing? a) a roller coaster is a chance to get off your feet. b) the only real danger of going into a dark haunted house is falling asleep. c) you stand for an hour watching a great show only to wonder how long…

Disney California Adventure

Day 2 started a lot better.  Today we went to Disney California Adventure land which had a very different feel to it.  It’s a bit more … … I don’t really know.  American.  Rather than fairytale. Our original plan with the 3 day pass was 2 days at Disneyland and 1 at California adventure.   But…
