Cars Land has made Disney California Adventure crowds a popular park, and Radiator Springs Racers wait times are often unbearable. Not just that, but waits are higher all across the park as masses of guests make trips to the park and visit those attractions in Cars Land, which remains a big draw. While nothing will
Only a few hours after going to bed, it was time to get up for our 7:00 a.m. breakfast time slot at Sequoia Lodge. We opted for Sequoia Lodge rather than going to Disneyland Hotel this morning because Sarah thought she might go back to bed after breakfast and the walk to Disneyland Hotel and
Before we get to the meat of this installment of the Disneyland Paris Christmas 2012 trip report, a couple of housekeeping items. First, thanks for all of the comments to the first installment. It was cool for us to see so many comments from so many different places. For this installment, I would love it
For the longest time, we were Walt Disney World snobs. Although we regularly vacationed elsewhere, we couldn’t fathom “betraying” our home Disney resort and going to those “other” Disney theme parks. More importantly, since we only visited Walt Disney World one or two times per year, we couldn’t imagine skipping Walt Disney World for a
Our Christmas Disneyland Paris Trip Report covers our first visit to Disneyland Paris in Marne la Vallee, France. The report includes hundreds of high quality photos of Disneyland Paris, the Disneyland Resort Paris hotels, and has detailed reviews of our experiences. Expect to see lots of photos of Phantom Manor, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space

At the end of day 2’s installment, I forgot to share photos of the Swan & Dolphin Christmas decorations. They have an interesting tree that I doubt many people bother going to see, so I figured I’d share it here. I also want to thank you all for the feedback on poll for the next
Sometimes, Disney releases formulaic movies and sequels to those movies that it have a lot of blockbuster potential, but not much originality or artistic merit. Sometimes, like in the case of Wall*E, Disney pushes the envelope and reminds everyone why it’s an entertainment juggernaut. Wreck-It Ralph is unquestionably the latter. Easily the best animated film
Disney Springs is the redevelopment of Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World, announced March 14, 2013 and set to complete construction in 2016, but open in phases prior to that. It is a shopping district concept that is intended to revitalize Downtown Disney and replace the disjointed Westside and Pleasure Island with a single, cohesive
Since opening day on October 1, 1982, EPCOT Center had walk-around meet & greet characters. The most famous of these were Figment & Dreamfinder, who are still sorely missed by Epcot fans (for more photos of them, check out our Vintage Journey into Imagination Photos page). There were also some other bizarre and short-lived characters,
Before I get started, thank you all for the great response to the first day of the trip report. It was quite popular and despite that it only caused the website to go down once! Since the site goes down about 4 times per day on a normal day now, I’ll consider it only being
