I have always specialized in vacation planning~ and do nothing else! But my "specialties" are Hawai'i and all things "Disney". So I make it my business to visit these places; often and regularly, as well as, to continue with my education. So once the busy summer months end, I am back on the road!
At the beginning of September I took my "traditional" birthday visit to Disneyland! This year is even more special then usual, as they are celebrating the 60th Diamond Anniversary! No one throws a party like Disney, and you really need to go to appreciate all that has gone into it!
I was the guest of the always lovely Disney Grand Californian! Located right in the heart of the Downtown Disney District and the Grizzly Peak area of Disney California Adventure Park. This resort makes your stay at Disneyland so easy, and just makes you feel a part of the "magic". With the most exciting and fun pools, the beautiful Mandara Spa, and several dining options, you couldn't ask for anything more!
Often I have guests ask me the question; "Why should we stay at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels?" I think it's the best part of your Disneyland vacation! You know what they say; "Location, location, location!" Once you have checked in, you are only a short walk away from the comfort and services of your beautiful room! But all the extras are important too! All guests of the resort hotels have "Extra Magic Hours", or early admission daily into both parks! (Disneyland resort guests are exclusively allowed early admission into California Adventure Park- no one else!) Another great perk is the package delivery service. You never have to wait to buy that special souvenir because you do not want to carry it! Just have it sent directly to your resort, they let you know it's there, and even bring it up to your room! A real favorite of mine (and Disney Moms everywhere!) is the character wake up call! You simply can not explain the joy and look of amazement on your child's face when Mickey calls to say it's time to wake up! Priceless!
But the most magical time of all during this celebration of sixty years at Disneyland... is at night! The always special fireworks, "Disneyland Forever", is a show you must see from Main Street, USA, or in front of the castle! Then there is the all new nighttime parade extravaganza called "Paint the Night"! Which I believe may be the best parade Disney has ever created! Not to be forgotten is the all new version of the "World of Color", in Disney's California Adventure Park. Get the tissues~ some of us will need them!
There is always magic, memories, and fun happening at Disneyland! It's just that right now, and until September 5, 2016~ they are just a little more exciting then usual. Then there is of course the "news", Disney is always imagining even bigger and better experiences for their guests! Starting in January 2016; We will say good-bye to "Aladdin", and make welcome Anna and Elsa in the new presentation of "Frozen", which will start in the summer of 2016! Maybe even more exciting is the news that Disneyland will be adding an entire "land". Construction will begin in the "Thunder Ranch" area of Disneyland on a 14 acre project... "Star Wars Land!" Stay tuned for updates!
When ever you decide to visit; it is my hope you will consider the expertise and passion that is incorporated into every Disneyland vacation planned at DreamCatcher Vacations! We live by the philosophy; "The very best Disney vacation, is the one well planned!"
