I have been going to Disneyland for almost 5 decades, and even worked there while going to college. In all those years, I have never dined at the Cafe Orleans, until now. I wanted to try somewhere new for lunch, and on a whim made reservations. The menu […]

I was trying to find something special for Valentine’s Day and came across the “Classic Disney Afternoon Tea” inside Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel.

On September 18th, Mickey celebrated his 90th birthday, and there were commemorative items at Disneyland available only that day. So, as foolish as we are, we decided to go to Disneyland on that day, only to find out that pretty much everyone thought of doing the same thing. […]

On the Disneyland website, they had information on the Happiest Haunts Tour. It looked interesting, and I figured for $85 it must be a special tour… so I called guest services and grabbed the 1:05 tour for October 21st. As an annual passholder, I did get a discount […]

Happy 4th of July! This year America’s birthday landed on a Wednesday, so unless I took the Monday and Tuesday prior, or the Thursday and Friday after, I only had one day off. Stephen and I decided to spend it at Disneyland (despite the 90 degree heat!). We […]
