Disneyland Update – 1/22/16

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
For a change Jason didn’t go to the parks, so you get a Disneyland update from me instead. 🙂 It won’t be as thorough or have nearly as many photos, though. I didn’t make it to DCA since I was with a friend who didn’t have a park hopper ticket. We arrived at the Toy … Continue reading "Disneyland Update – 1/22/16"
