My husband and I went to Anaheim, California for a conference at which he was presenting a paper. We took some time off to go to Disneyland. I've been to Disneyworld many times but this was my first time at Disneyland. I am not comparing the two but Florida's Disneyworld wins hands up in my view. 

I don't like rides so something like Epcot Center in Florida is more my taste. Still Disneyland was fun and since we spent most of the time in the kiddy area I was happy.

I did not take notes so I'm writing this based on my pictures which I will post.

There's a whole lot of people who buy into a whole lot of hype and nonsense when it comes to Orlando's Walt Disney World. You'd think it was some kind of an "original" or one of kind. Folks who know better know that the real gem in Orlando is the Magic Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom is virtually a nut for nut replay of Disneyland --- the ORIGINAL Walt Disney theme park. I've been to 'em both, and I just plain LIKE Disneyland a whole lot better. It's easier to visit, for one thing, with simpler logistics and a better vibe. There's still crowds, the food is just as lousey as it is in Orlando, and... review »

 My fiance, Tyler told me when we first started dating that he wanted to take me to the Blue Bayou at Disneyland.  We almost made it there the first summer that we visited his family in Northern California.  We had planned on making a quick flight down to the OC and spending the day there we would ride all the rides during the day and have a romantice dinner at the Bayou at night.  Plans fell through and we didn't get to go.  We moved to Michigan in August and let the thought fall to the sidelines. 

I got placed at an intership in Newport Beach last summer and our plan was starting to take...

I just came back from disneyland after a week there.  I spent a month researching through the blogs to find all the info I could get and now want to group it together for soemone else, (because it was a pain in the a..).  1) I booked the disney package which was ok.  I also booked medeval times on Monday night and the deluxe universal tour on thursday.  We planned to arrive sunday at 2pm so we didn't trust the airlines and didn't book anything for that night.  That worked well cause our flight was three hours delayed and the day was a write off.  2) We stayed at the marriot near the convention...

What can I say about Disneyland.  My family has gone on a vacation to the happiest place on earth almost every year for the last 50 years!  Yes, my mom started going as a baby when they opened and the family has continued the tradition.  We get so much enjoyment out of everything, from the rides to the food, the cast members (staff) and just being together.  It's hard to find a place where people are nicer and you get a better value for you dollar.  Now it's not cheap, especially for a large family, but the value is incredible.  The rides are included in admission, and there is so much to...

I used to do a lot of Mystery Shopping at Disneyland. I know a lot about that place now. They really take good care of Disneyland. I know that every spill is to be cleaned up within 15min. They wash down every light poll, every day.

Club 33 is an awesome club to eat at...We mystery shopped the restaurant...Excellent food and customer service

I love the atmosphere about Disney. Friendly People, Great Food...If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with their service, talk to someone, THEN write your review based on before and after.

 Disneyland, Anaheim, Ca and Disneyworld, Florida Rocks!...

I loved, loved, loved Disneyland!  I wasn't expecting to ever like Disneyland, but I had a blast.  I went with a friend who got us in for free, so that was a plus.  But really, I would have paid the 100 bucks to feel like a small child for the day.  The rides were great, the christmas parade was wonderful, I had the best time of my life and I wasn't expecting it at all!

Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida is a place you don't want to miss. Having traveled there more than 30 times in the past 28 years this is my favorite destination. We've always stayed at Fort Wilderness Campground which has bus/boat service to all Disney Destinations. Disney makes it easy to get from place to place within their grounds.

 The campground is amazing, with activities and games for kids of all ages. Every night you can go to the campfire and sing-a-long and meet Chip and Dale. After the singing is a movie under the stars! A different movie plays every night. As far as cleanliness...

There is a wonderful sense of history and joy at Disneyland.   We took the guided Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour and really enjoyed hearing how the park came together and how it inspired the changes that became Walt Disney World.   

I am a huge Walt Disney World fan, however, I didn't feel the need to constantly compare the parks.   The park has a wonderful charm and innocence about it.   It was built to be a playground for children and parents and it really captures that family spirit.   

We also enjoyed California Adventure very much.  The Aladdin musical was incredible - just...

disneyland is absolutely one of the best places I have ever vacationed at.  There is so much you can do there.  Disneyland is a five star vacation spot.  The rides are so much fun. They are longer then rides at any other theme park, and not only that but they have themes to each and every one of them which makes it a ton of fun.  Even though lines are long, it is most definately worth the wait.  I also love all the charectors walking around.  It really does make kids dreams come true.  It is a dream for kids to see the charectors in their favorite childhood movies.   Getting to hug and...

Currently, Disneyland has a nightly even called Nightastic. It inculdes beautiful fireworks which can be seen all over the park. The main event is a show put on in the lagoon by the Haunted Mansion which has images from various Disney films projected onto a water screen and also live boats, singing, and music. The whole show flows together really well. I was there on a Friday night and they had two showings of the water show. I would suggest being on Thunder Mountain or another outdoor, high ride during the fireworks show because it is simply amazing to come up the crest of a ride and have fireworks...

Disneyland...Our family has been there so many times, we have lost count.  We seem to get that Disneyland craving and we soon find ourselves down there enjoying a couple relaxing days in the park.  It seems to be a place where you can enjoy your family and be relaxed and just hang out. '"No worries" as they say.  The service is great, the staff is always friendly and we never tire of the parades, fireworks, or the rides.  I would try to tell you that it is because of the kids that we go, but my husband and I snuck off without them, and brought the New Year in at Disneyland in 2005 and had...

Disneyland is a place where an adult can enter, leave their worries at the door, and just be a kid again.  California's Disneyland is great for locals or vacationers.  There are many attractions near by within walking distance like Disney's California Adventure, Downtown Disney (which has great restaurants, shopping, and entertainment), and great Disney owned hotels.  My favorite part of Disneyland is the firework show in front of Sleeping Beauty castle at the end of the night (there is even a live Tinkerbell that flies over the castle). They have great rides for all ages (my favorites are Indiana... review »
