How to plan a Disney vacation! Disneyland Here we come!
I am excited to share that we have finally overcome our 'Disney Blues' after eight long years and are now eagerly planning our trip to Disneyland. However, our reservation at the Grand Californian for September 2020 had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we are determined to build our dream vacation and make the most of our trip.
We cannot wait to experience the magic of Disneyland, from the classic rides like Pirates of the Caribbean to the newer attractions like Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Our plan is to explore every corner of the park and compare it to our home park at Walt Disney World.
We are also looking forward to trying out all the amazing places to eat, meeting the beloved characters, and enjoying the shows and parades. Disneyland offers so much, and we are confident that this will be a memorable experience for us. I am excited to share my inner thoughts as I take the first steps in planning my family's magical vacation.
