Rumor has it that FREE Dining at Disney will be offered for late August -Mid September starting tomorrow, April 10th. I have taken advantage of this twice before, and can’t tell you how great of a deal it is. Tomorrow I’ll be back with more details on exactly how you can book your trip…and get […]
SeaWorld was a really nice drive from La Jolla. It was quick and easy, and we passed some really nice areas on the way. We had a lot of fun that day, and got to see a lot of fish, penguins, dolphins, sharks, and more. While I knew it would be a fun day, I […]
After we checked out of our hotel in Anaheim, we started towards San Diego. When we planned our trip, we knew that Legoland was on the way, and loved the idea of seeing all of the amazing LEGO creations…so we bought 2 tickets (actually, we technically got them for free…see how we did it.) It […]
Since we were just talking about Universal Studios yesterday (even though that was Hollywood and this is Orlando) I thought this would be a perfect time to mention a new roller coaster that was just announced for Universal Studios Orlando! It’s called the Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit and looks really cool! It is going to […]
I have one word when it comes to Universal Studios Hollywood. Small. I was surprised at how small it was. I knew it wasn’t even close to the size of Universal Studios Orlando (especially now that it also has Islands of Adventure)…but it was pretty small. We still managed to have a fun day though. […]
I was really looking forward to going to California Adventure. It was a NEW Disney park for me! I had been to all of the ones in Orlando before, and Disneyland wasn’t really “new” to me since I had seen much of it at the Magic Kingdom, but California Adventure was mostly new (minus some […]
Let me preface this by saying that I live on the East Coast. Because of this, I had never been to Disneyland before last week, but have been to Walt Disney World many times over the years. So any comments I have to make will obviously be biased on the fact that I am much […]
Once we got our car, the first place we went to was our hotel, so we could check in. After a LOT of research on where to stay, we decided on the Howard Johnson Anaheim hotel. Why? Here are our reasons: Reviews – All of the reviews I read (on both TripAdvisor as well as […]
This is a picture of the car we rented for the week. We ended up getting it through Advantage Rent-A-Car, but got the best price by using Kayak. I had checked out a bunch of different websites, and Kayak gave me the best price. It was easy to get the free shuttle from LAX to […]
We’re back from our 8-Day Southern California Vacation. It was a lot of fun, but we both ended up getting a cold towards the end of the trip, so I’m sorry if the trip report comes a little slowly. We had a great time though, and loved the warmer weather. Now we’re back in the […]
