Wow... June flew by and my time was spent with Disney! First I was a special invited guest to the 'world premier special event' for the grand opening of Cars Land and Buena Vista Street at Disney's California Adventure Park! Then four days later; off again to Florida for a special invitation to the first ever "EarMarked" Masters Education Program at Walt Disney World! Whew!
My time at Disneyland was absolutely star studded and truly spectacular! As a guest of Disney's Grand Californian, I was as close as you can get to the excitement going on in the park! As a long time 'lover' of all things Disney... I believe they really have it just right this time! That special feeling you get entering Main Street, USA, is now what happens when you enter Disney's California Adventure Park! From the new entrance in the 'art deco' style, to the gorgeous Carthay Circle Theater at the end of the street! Disney takes you back to Walt's first days in Hollywood! The entertainment, the 'red trolley', even the police officers! All this will get you ready for the many new experiences ahead!
Cars Land... straight from the movie, and Route 66! Stroll down the street with "Mater" and "Lightening McQueen". Visit Flo's V-8 Drive In, or Ramone's Body Art! But the "E-Ticket" ride at the end of that stroll, "Radiator Springs Racers", may be the best ride ever! This special new land fits right in, and you will wonder why they didn't have it there all along! I must admit; getting to meet and chat with "Larry the Cable Guy" (voice of Mater), and Cheech Marin (voice of Ramone)... sort of added to that excitement!
After a fun packed three days, only four days back at my desk, and I was flying off to Orlando! This time as a "masters" student, to learn and experience things I had never before! Now some would think that impossible after all my visits to Walt Disney World! But the magic, and excitement just never ends with Disney! From a private boat on Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon for the fireworks over the Magic Kingdom. To the ride-along experience at the Richard Petty Raceway! From a special "Chef" escorted tour of the fabulous "Victoria and Albert's" at Disney's Grand Floridian. To the over the top dining event at the California Grill, at the top of Disney's Contemporary Resort! We learned more and experienced even more, and it left me with so much more Disney to share!
No matter how many times you have been to these special parks... you will always find something new and exciting to see for the first time! Just more reasons why you should always plan your Disney Vacations with an "Authorized Disney Vacation Planner"!
