It's A New Year

Now that 2013 it officially under way we are all getting over our holiday hangovers of presents, candy and theme park merriment.  I am really looking forward to the coming year at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure and the entire resort area.

 

So many changes occurred in 2012, not the least of which was the completion of the BILLION DOLLAR expansion at DCA.  We got an updated Matterhorn Bobsled ride (to mixed reviews), new royalty was added to Downtown Disney in the form of a sandwich shop (Yummy!), the waterways of both Frontierland and Paradise Bay glowed with new color, and for the first time in it's relatively short history the little park across the plaza regularly beat it's big sister in attendance numbers. What a year! (For a full wrap-up read this post)

 

Now it's time for us to look forward to the coming year and the new things coming.  There's Limited Time Magic invading the parks (see the first update here).  There is new construction to be completed at the new Fantasy Faire just off the Hub, a refurbished Fantasyland Theater is making progress, Alice is getting her safety railings (after what seems like an eternity), and there will be less Thunder over in Frontierland as this iconic attractions goes down for a multi-month makeover.

 

I invite you to come back here weekly for updates, photos, unique new videos and other exciting things that help us celebrate what we love most... The Original Magic Kingdom.

Let's Go Downtown

Downtown Disney

Are you just beginning your Disney day or has it's been a long day at the parks?

Are you staying at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels?

Are you in the mood for a unique shopping and dining experience?

Then it's time to go downtown - Downtown Disney.

This multi faceted area opened back in 2001, along with the Grand Californian Hotel, Disney California Adventure Park and the expansion of the entire Disneyland Resort area. Prior to the addition of Cars Land & the remodeled Buena Vista Street, Downtown Disney was part of the largest expansions in the resorts history.  It has gone through many incarnations over the last decade and some of the original residents have moved on. Some new shops and venues have taken there place.  Let's take a little stroll and see what our options are today for shopping and dining.
