Part 4 of our Tokyo Disneyland Winter Trip Report begins with disaster–and I don’t mean the awesome attraction (RIP) featuring Christopher Walken. As we prepared to grab a few photos in front of Cinderella Castle, I realized I lost my camera’s flash sometime earlier in the day. Okay, not exactly disaster, but it’s pretty important
Part 3 of our Tokyo Disneyland Winter Trip Report picks up at the start of our first day at Tokyo Disneyland. The park didn’t open until 9 a.m., but we all once again woke up by like 5 a.m., so we made it to the park far in advance of park opening. First, though, we
This post picks up where Part 1 of our Tokyo Disney Resort Winter Trip Report left off, midday through our second day at Tokyo DisneySea. (If you care about photos, don’t miss page 2–that’s where the good ones are!) For page 1, we’ll start with everyone’s favorite: some rambling text. Our FastPass window opened as
It takes a special kind of crazy to travel to a place where it snows during the coldest time of the year. That’s what we did for our recent trip to Tokyo Disney Resort during Frozen Fantasy, a tagline that takes on dual meaning during January in Japan. If you ski, this is a great
In this trip report, we share hundreds of photos from Disneyland Paris and locations in Europe that inspired the original EPCOT Center. The first half of the trip report focuses on scenes featured in Impressions de France, an opening day EPCOT Center film in the France pavilion that is still shown today. This is one
Enough of you asked for it in response to our Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Report that I figured I’d put together a single trip report recap post of our adventures after we left France. It’s probably not actually a 3-hour finale, but since it’s impossible to measure words in units of time, let’s just call
The next morning was the main event: the Inaugural Disneyland Paris Half Marathon. I had been excited about this for months, and it was the whole reason for the trip (not that we wouldn’t have enjoyed the trip otherwise), so expectations were high. As usual, I was unprepared to run 13.1 miles. This time it
The next morning was the Inaugural Disneyland Paris 5K (this is part 8 of our full France report; if it were the eighth installment of a 5K report, that would be pretty comprehensive coverage, to say the least). The race started at 7 am, so we left the hotel at around 6 am, thinking that
I thought we might pick up from Part 2 of our 2016 Walt Disney World Christmas Trip Recap by addressing the decision to travel in mid-November as opposed to our normal (and recommended) “sweet spot” of the week after Thanksgiving. The latter we rank as the #1 week of the year in our Best &
In Part 6 of our Disneyland Paris Trip Report, I mentioned that we’d discuss maintenance in the next installment, so let’s start there. Our first visit to Disneyland Paris was during its 20th Anniversary, at a time when we were told maintenance had been improving. Perhaps this was true, or perhaps my expectations were low
This post recaps our recent Christmas vacation to Walt Disney World, offering photos and a quick summary of our experiences that we started in Part 1. I’m going to slow down the pace a bit here, since so many people seemed to like the first installment (or, maybe that was because of the faster pace).
