Do California With PassPorter!
Southern California and Disneyland articles, photos, tips, and advice from fellow travelers. Holiday Time at Disneyland: A Backstage Tour Review
by Heather Macdonald on 02-02-2012
 This year I made the decision to go to Disneyland instead of Walt Disney World (WDW) ;in December.
I remember being a little bit sad that I was going to miss the Candlelight Processional and the Seasonal Storytellers at Epcot, that I wasn’t going to see the tribute to Jennings Osbourne at the Spectacle of Dancing Lights, and that there would be no Holiday Wishes fireworks for me this year. In all likelihood I’ll miss them next year as well, because I’ll be cruising right before Christmas. I still had some regrets, even as I was checking into my Disneyland Resort (DLR) hotel, but all of that would soon disappear. More ...

Gear to Travel Far and Near:
Keep your ID, cards, and cash handy and secure with a PassPorter PassHolder Pouch, a lightweight, six-compartment pouch with an attached neck cord.
'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. "
