My boyfriend and I just renewed our annual passes to Disneyland, and decided to make the next 365 days the year of Doing Tours! Disneyland offers several tours: Cultivating the Magic (about the botanicals and architecture of the Resort); Discover the Magic (a scavenger hunt thing for kids); Walk in Walt's Footsteps (a pretty involved look at the history of Disneyland); and the Welcome to Disneyland tour. There are also seasonal tours for Halloween time and Christmas time!
On Sunday, we went on the Welcome to Disneyland tour. This 2.5 hour long tour helps you make the most of your trip to the Disneyland Resort, no matter how many times you've been. I did learn a couple fun new facts along the way, like what the Hyperion theater (where the Aladdin show takes place) is named for. We also saw the Muppets 3D show, and got to go to the front of the line on Pirates of the Caribbean! At the end of the tour, they gave us an envelope with fast passes to 2 rides (Star Tours and Soarin' Over California), and 2 special tour pins, in addition to the special lanyard they gave us at the beginning (to identify ourselves as tour members, I suppose)! They also made reservations for us at a restaurant and gave us priority seating at a show. It was for sure worth the $25, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the other tours are like!
Later, we had dinner at Carthay Circle at California Adventure! They have both a lounge area and a full restaurant. We'd never been before, so it was another first for us! We just sat in the cozy lounge area and had a couple drinks and some appetizers. The deviled eggs were so delicious (though so expensive!), and my drink, the Derby, was lovely. They have a pretty extensive cocktail list, including Walt's favorite drink, the Scotch Mist.
Look at this yummy rice krispie treat shaped like Maleficent that we picked up for a mid-day snack!!
We also saw some HUGE geese. I've NEVER seen geese in the park before - ducks, yes; cats, sure! But enormous geese were a first! The picture doesn't do it justice, it was like 3 feet tall. And it's babies were following it around!
