Hey – We just returned from a great time at Disneyland – Pics are here.
Stebbins at Disney May 05 |
Disneyland and California Adventure |
After a year of cutting back and doing without, it was time to treat the fam to a no-limits 4-day trip to Disney | We decided to stay at Disney’s Grand California Hotel. A great choice! We bought 3-day park-hopper passes with early entry privileges. | The hotel is adjacent to Downtown Disney and has private and early entry to the park for registered guests | A six hour drive got us from Santa Cruz to Anaheim. I figured Tasha or Tyler would drive, but most everyone slept on the way down. |
OK first order of business is food in Downtown Disney We chose the Rainforest Cafe![]() |
Tyler gets his dream plate: Filet, Shrimp, Ribs![]() |
