    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    Dec 31 New Year’s eve 2019 Day 4 of our 4 day Park Hopper pass saw us spending New Years Eve in DCA. I’m so glad we had done the dinner and Fantasmic light show the night before New Years because the crowds heading into Disneyland were massive. DCA was also busy but it was bearable and we were...

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    This trip was 4 years ago and I’ve recently been thinking of the possibility of another trip. Of course my mind turned towards the DIS and I realised that I hadn’t finished this TR!! The last time I posted was just before Covid back in Jan 2020. I don’t think I could face revisiting this when...

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    No that's Pirates on our first afternoon- Saturday 28th. We thought we were in for a lot of long waits but that turned out to be the most crowded time of the week. The FP line for Indiana on the 29th around 2pm wasn't too bad.

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    Day 2 Jan 29 - Evening. Our dinner reservation was for 6pm so we had a little time to wander around Downtown Disney. I didn't take many photos, just enjoyed the atmosphere. I took a shot of the big store and a couple of some of the Chefs making Nightmare before Christmas themed treats... . It...

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    So where was I? Oh yes: Day 2 Jan 29 - Afternoon After a break (I actually did some washing), we headed back to use our Indiana Jones FP. As we entered the Park we came across a Parade. Now we aren't parade people so we hadn't factored it in and essentially came up upon a road block. We had...

    We got a little wet and it was a little chilly but because it was sunny we managed to dry off pretty quickly.

    Thanks for popping by. I took a bit of a break but I'll get on with it now. I'm glad you liked my Banff photos. I really want to go back one day in the summer or maybe Autumn.

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    Thanks for dropping by :) I can understand you being busy with a large young family. Yes, going from snowy Canada to Disneyland in a day was strange but it was actually quite cold in the evenings in DIsneyland and found we had to wear some of our Canadian top layers. By New Years Eve the Santa...

    April/May 2019: Seven Kinds of Crazy

    I've just updated my New Years trip and have seen that you have just updated yours so I caught up. I'm amazed at your families stamina and its wonderful to see all the happy smiling faces. You are amazing the way you juggle all the different ages but then again you are an absolute pro.

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    We spent Boxing Day relaxing in Banff town and checking out the Banff Lower Hot Springs. On the 27th, we said farewell to Banff and headed off the Calgary. We spent the afternoon exploring the city before an early night - because the next day we were heading to Disneyland! All these months...

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    And a few from Christmas day. A light lunch at The Banff Springs Hotel, a walk along the Bow River and dinner at The Maple Leaf. It snowed a little throughout the day then quite heavily on Christmas night. Very Magical. Our wish for a White Christmas had come true... .

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    So it's been ages since I've been here. I stopped updating when I had issues with photos. I think that's sorted now and I've finally come back determined to finish this before New Years. In fact it may be more relevant for those heading to Disneyland this New Years Eve. So I'll add a few photos...

    April/May 2019: Seven Kinds of Crazy

    Hi Sara. I've just read through this PT and I'm amazed at your stamina! I can't imagine doing Disney with 5 young kids. On the other hand I can't imagine anything more wonderful than seeing the joy, wonder and excitement of experiencing Disney with young children. Our girls were 10, 12 and 16...

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    Banff is a beautiful place to spend Christmas. It's a picturesque little town that when dusted with snow and decorated for the Holidays, is the real Christmas town that I dreamed of all those sunny Aussie Christmas days watching Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. We took the...

    Disneyland over New Years plus a taste of Canada and Hawaii UPDATE

    Our next stop was Banff. We took a Red Arrow bus to Calgary Airport then changed to the Banff Airporter which dropped us off right outside our hotel. I love bus and train travel. Being able to look at the scenery go by means that the journey is part of the adventure and not just a means to an...

    March 90s Nite and Skywalker Ranch! UPDATE 7/14 TR COMPLETE

    I'm following on! Loving your plans. We did Lamplight and Jazz Kitchen and loved them both. We used Ubers in LA. The cheapest and best way to get around. How exciting to be able to go to Skywalker Ranch with someone who works there! San Francisco is a city I would love to visit again. We went...
