Disney California Adventure's World of Color: Disneyland Event Review
by Cheryl Pendry on 04-26-2012

So when I heard that Disneyland in California introduced a new night-time show, World of Color, at Paradise Pier in the California Adventure park, I was intrigued. I was even more intrigued to hear some mixed reviews of it. Would it live up to the wonder of Walt Disney World’s night-time entertainment, or would we leave disappointed? More ...

Napa Rose Chef's Table at Disney's Grand Californian Resort: A Disneyland Dining Review by Tracy Walker on 01-20-2012
Savory. Balanced. Nuances. Umami.

These are words that I would never have used before meeting my foodie husband in 2004. And to be honest, I NEVER use “umami,” to this day. (Some people think umami is the fifth sense of ...

'I admit I wasn't all that sure I would really 'needed' the PassHolder Pouch. Even my husband was hesitant to use it, but after the first day on our trip, we couldn't imagine our entire vacation without them! Our Key Cards, receipts, and money were kept save and with us at all time. Even with the rain, it kept everything dry. A must!' -- SandiF from San Jose, CA

Adult Beverage Tip for ElecTRONica
"Heading to ElecTRONica at Disney California Adventure? If you want a cocktail, don't stand in the long line that forms at the bar near the entrance. Head through the party toward the End of the Line club near Flynn's Arcade. There is another bar there that offers the same drinks, and the line is always much shorter. "
