DCA – Fun at the Snow White 70th Anniversary Exhibit

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Back in November (yeah, I know, not a very up-to-date blog entry, is it?) Disney opened a Snow White 70th Anniversary exhibit in the Animation Building at DCA. The exhibit is in the main room of the building – sort of a maze-like set-up of walls with some photos and artwork and copies of cels … Continue reading "DCA – Fun at the Snow White 70th Anniversary Exhibit"

Quick weekend trip to Disneyland

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I made a quick weekend trip to Disneyland and actually spent the night up there for a change – mainly because I was doing the Segway tour which started at 7:15 a.m., and would have meant getting up *really* early if I left from San Diego! I met my friend Patty at my hotel on … Continue reading "Quick weekend trip to Disneyland"

Is it Possible to See Both the Disneyland Electrical Parade and the Remember Fireworks on the Same Night?

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
That seems to be a fairly commonly asked question…and the short answer is yes, if you’re willing to accept a less-than-optimal fireworks view. For those of you who aren’t as familiar with the Disneyland parks…at Disney’s California Adventure (DCA) Disney’s Electrical Parade (DEP) begins at 8:45, and the Remember fireworks at Disneyland (DL) start at … Continue reading "Is it Possible to See Both the Disneyland Electrical Parade and the Remember Fireworks on the Same Night?"

The Main Street Electrical Parade!

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Well, ok…make that Disney’s Electrical Parade, now that it’s at Disney’s California Adventure and not Disneyland. But it’s still a “spectacular festival pageant of nighttime magic and imagination in thousands of sparkling lights and electrosynthomagnetic musical sounds!” These days it runs at DCA during peak seasons, which generally means the two weeks around Easter, mid-June … Continue reading "The Main Street Electrical Parade!"

Disneyland Bits and Bites

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
We made another trip to Disneyland on the afternoon/evening of Friday, August 17…thought I’d share a few observations… With the “Year of a Million Dreams” extended through 2008 (doesn’t that make it “Years of a Million Dreams?” the banners in the main entry plaza have changed…and the letters in front of DCA that spell out … Continue reading "Disneyland Bits and Bites"

Dinner at the Vineyard Room

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
The Vineyard Room is the “fine dining” table service restaurant at Disney’s California Adventure. It’s located on the second floor of the Golden Vine Winery and is an open-air/patio restaurant – most of the tables are under a roofed area, but there are no walls. (There’s also an uncovered patio area.) There are views of … Continue reading "Dinner at the Vineyard Room"

A Summer Night at Disneyland

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Last Friday Lee and I drove to Disneyland in the afternoon (took us about two hours from San Diego, which wasn’t nearly as horrible as it can be at that time of day) and spent the evening at DCA and Disneyland. I was pleasantly surprised at how *un*crowded it was – on a Friday night … Continue reading "A Summer Night at Disneyland"

Disney’s California Adventure Attractions

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Don’t ask me why this occurred to me in the shower the other day, but I started wondering about which Walt Disney World park Disney’s California Adventure most resembles, at least in terms of the attractions. With Animal Kingdom, it shares “It’s Tough to Be a Bug”. Walt Disney World Attraction Disney’s California Adventure Attraction … Continue reading "Disney’s California Adventure Attractions"

Disneyland Tips

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I’ve been asked about “Tips” for visiting Disneyland…so here’s a few things that I hope will be helpful. 1. Be at the park when it opens. You can do a LOT of rides in the first couple of hours after the park opens when most of us lazy southern California people (who have to drive … Continue reading "Disneyland Tips"
