We've had quite a jam-packed trio of days exploring Downtown Disney, Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure in California.There are many picture opportunities, experiences, merchandise, food, and people watching.

If you're a Disney fan of any sort, there is definitely something for you to get excited about. There's a huge Disney merch store right near the entrance of both parks. There's also plenty of restaurants that offer savory and sweet options for whatever you're craving. The Jazz Kitchen Express has pretty delicious beignets at reasonable prices. However, with the exception of a few good deals every once in a while, most things are pretty pricey.

| We're no pickle fans, but the bloggers convinced me to try this pickle corn dog & I convinced the boys to try it with me. The verdict: the initial bite was pretty ok. But as it kept going the ratio of hot dog-pickle-and breading was off and it wasn't super great. Would be try it again, probably not. But do we regret trying it at all--no, we don't. | |
Our time at Disneyland was jam packed and because of the light lines, we were able to go on all the rides we wanted to. We started off the day with practically walking on to Space Mountain then proceeded to Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean all with about 20 minutes or less wait-time. We lucked out and got an afternoon boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance which we already knew was going to be great since we enjoyed it first in Orlando. It's definitely a must-see attraction if one can score a boarding pass.

| We ate at Galaxy's edge with the boys and I choosing to eat the popular "Ronto Wraps" and The Huz getting the pot roast. We ended up coming back for dinner to the same spot to eat the "Chicken Yip Yip". The food is pretty good, although quite pricey. |
 |
| When the Youngest was a toddler, he absolutely adored "It's a Small World". We had annual passes so every time we'd go through the turnstile, his little legs would lead us straight to the attraction. Now, as a teenager, the ride simply has a special place in his heart, as it does for all of us because of those memories. |
Other notable memories include the First-Born and I getting soaked riding Splash Mountain. We theorize that they must've turned the water level up because we've never gotten that wet on the ride before. Good times. We ended the night as we begun it, with a repeat ride of Space Mountain. We were all super tired, but so extremely satisfied.
The next day was dedicated to Disney's California Adventure. We were able to snag an early boarding pass to the newest attraction "Spiderman's Webslingers".
 |
| It's an interactive, fun ride. I don't usually do too well on these, but apparently, my random webslinging was pretty good, this time. 😆 |
Avenger's Campus has some visually appealing structures and the occasional Marvel Superhero popping up here & there. If you're a fan of this genre, it's pretty fabulous. We ate at Pym's Test Kitchen & sampled some of their themed foods. To be perfectly honest, my family and I weren't too impressed with the tastes and the prices are quite high. But it's a good experience to have, at least once.

| The First-Born has to take a picture with his jet. 😆 |
 |
| The Ancient Sanctum is where Dr. Strange appears & is a great place to take pictures. |
We had such a great time on our three-day stay in Anaheim, CA. We will always love the East Coast attractions in Orlando, but we wanted to take the time to appreciate what we have on the West Coast too. We're fortunate to have access to both.
But most importantly, I'm super thankful for the opportunity to spend time with my very loved and adored family. I cherish all moments with them and feel blessed with all the memories we make with each other. Even though my whole body aches, especially my feet & legs, it's all so very worth it. 😍
As always, sending light & love out to you all. XOXO
