If you had just two hours to visit Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, what would you do? We would start our short visit by walking through the main entrance and acknowledging the memory of Walt by waving to the small window above the firehouse. The light reminds us Walt is still watching. We would walk through the castle to Fantasyland and enjoy a few of the classic attractions. The Mad Tea Party is always a favorite for our family. We would be sure to ride Thunder Mountain and visit the Haunted Mansion. On our way out we would buy a mickey balloon and definitely make a stop at Marceline’s Confectionary for a peanut butter sandwich!

Where is your favorite place to eat in the parks? With out a doubt, our most memorable dining experience was in Club 33. However, because that’s not an every visit option, we really enjoy dining in the Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante in Disneyland. It’s our favorite because the food is great and the spanish style courtyard dining area offers a nice quiet space to unwind. If we’re lucky, it’s even a great stroller napping spot for our four year old daughter.

Do you have a favorite Disney post (or two!) on your blog that you would like to share with us? I recently shared how to have an amazing birthday experience at Disneyland with Celebrating A Birthday in Disneyland: How To Make It Amazing! and Travel Tips: Disneyland with Infants and Toddlers.

What’s your favorite ride at DL or DCA? Our family has a couple of new favorites because our growing daughter just recently passed the 42″ height restriction guide. Our current most favorite attraction is Thunder Mountain. My daughter doesn’t mind the line and will ask to ride many times consecutively. She loves to point out the goat with the dynamite in the middle of the attraction.

Tell us about your favorite Disneyland or Disney California Adventure memory.  We have so many great memories from Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Our favorite is definitely our daughter’s first visit. At just nine months old she was amazed by all the color and movement. We stopped by Minnie’s house for a photo with her and expected our daughter, like many infants, to be scared of the character in costume. To our surprise, she loved Minnie instantly! She pulled her eyelashes during our photo opportunity and cried when walked away. We knew, from that moment, we would be spending a lot of time in Disneyland with our daughter.

Who is your all time favorite Disney character? I loved all the Disney Princesses as a child and it’s been so fun seeing my daughter love them too. Our all time favorite is Cinderella!

How do you keep Disney magic in your home? As children, my husband and I both remember watching Disney movies with our families. We keep that tradition alive by having a Disney family movie night each weekend. Our many visits to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure has given us endless family memories. We have subtle reminders of our visits spread through out our house and are always discussing our next visit at dinner time!

Mickey and the Magical Map Is Coming Soon!

In just a couple of weeks, Disneyland will wow us again with another magical attraction…

Mickey and the Magical Map!

Disneyland is reintroducing characters from one of my favorite Disney movies of all time – Fantasia - Mischievous Mickey acting as a Sorcerer’s apprentice and getting into all sorts of trouble. We rarely see Mickey in that light!

Mickey and the Magical Map stars Mischievous Mickey alongside characters (and songs!) from favorite Disney stories Jungle Book, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tangled, The Princess and The Frog, The Little Mermaid, and Lilo and Stitch. Viewers will be transported to India, China, Virginia, New Orleans, Hawaii, and “Under the Sea” during the 22 minute performance.

Found in Fantasyland theatre, this live show will play five times every day during the summer  - it’s a great place to sit and rest for a bit in the shade during your day in the park.

Mickey and the Magical Map is just one of the fun new attractions Disneyland has in store for visitors this summer – Fantasy Faire is another new attraction in Fantasyland! Just next to Sleeping Beauty’s castle, visit the Disney Princesses in Royal Hall and make sure to stop and see one of the two live shows offerred daily – one starring Belle from Beauty and The Best and the other starring Flynn and Rapunzel from Tangled! Princesses aren’t the only ones to have fun in Fantasy Faire, Princes are welcome and have surprises in store for them, as well!

If you had just two hours to visit Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, what would you do? Two hours?  That’s all I could get?  I would go crazy in two hours! I would go on Pirates of the Caribbean, then go on Jungle Cruise, then get a pineapple whip and sit for the Tiki Room show. I would admire the castle for 2-3 minutes, then go on Buzz Light Year. I would run over to It’s a Small World quick, then I would raise across to California Adventure, go on Soaring Over California and Grizzly Run, then hide in the Redwood Challenge until someone kicked me out.

Where is your favorite place to eat in the parks? Carnation Cafe for breakfast; Paradise Wharf Cafe for lunch, either The Blue Bayou or Wine Country Trattoria, and Ghirardelli’s for dessert!

Do you have a favorite Disney post (or two!) on your blog that you would like to share with us? Ten Things I Wish Were At Disney  and Our Ten Years At Disney.
