This “trip” was actually two separate trips that occurred only a week apart. We started out at Disneyland, dining at the exclusive Club 33, and Napa Rose (we actually preferred the latter!) in addition to plenty of other fun. We had some nighttime blue skies (as you can see in the photo above), which are rare for Southern California, so the photos in this installment at night are especially high quality.

On the next leg of the trip, we visited Walt Disney World for D23′s Destination D event, which started with a 2-day scavenger hunt followed by a 2-day historical retrospective of Walt Disney World resort, hosted by Imagineers and Disney Legends. The highlight of that event was a concert by Richard Sherman, which concluded with Dreamfinder and Figment(!!!) joining him on stage! This section of the trip report also contains nightlife reviews and lots of nighttime and Epcot Flower & Garden Festival photos.

   It’s nearly impossible to find educated people for this subject, however, you seem like you know what you’re
   talking about! Thanks
