May 16, 2017 in All Posts, attraction tips, attractions, disneyland resort, monorail, Tips & Tricks for Families
Did you know that you can ask to sit in the nose cone with the Monorail driver at the Disneyland Resort? Simply ask one of the attraction Cast Members, and if it isn’t already spoken for and there isn’t any sort of training going on, up to four guests can sit with the driver and experience an incredible and exhilarating birds-eye view of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. (If you aren’t in a hurry, you can always ask if you can wait for the next monorail if the nose cone is already spoken for.) Riding in the nose cone...

Time for another Q&A with B.i.D. (that’s Babes in Disneyland for short!)… Question: What should I do about giving my baby/toddler/kid a nap during a day that we are at the Disneyland Resort? Answer: This seems like a simple question, but boy is it open-ended! First off there are really only 3 options for naps… a) Skip naps and power through b) Nap in the stroller / baby wrap while in the Park c) Take your littles back to the hotel for the real deal When folks ask me this I flounder a little bit because I have tested all...

When planning magical Disneyland Resort trips for my friends and family there’s truly nothing I love more than adding magical touches and enhancements to our itinerary. There are many ways in which I like to enhance our trips including: booking character dining, treating my favorite princesses to a makeover, and staying the night at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels. When possible I also really love booking dining packages that allow me and my guests to eat at some of our favorite restaurants and guarantee us prime viewing locations for parades and World of Color. The packages not only save time...

5 things Disneylanders need to know before planning a Walt Disney World vacation
May 11, 2017 in All Posts, other disney destinations, walt disney world
The first time I went to Walt Disney World, to say I was shocked by the size and scope of the resort would be an understatement. I am a life-long “Disneylander.” I grew up in Orange County and quaint Disneyland Park was (and is) like my second home. I had been told by countless people that Walt Disney World is “bigger” and “different,” but I was truly blown away by just how different it was on that first visit. I had always figured that given the fact that I am a Disneyland expert, that my expertise would obviously also...

May 10, 2017 in All Posts, attraction tips, attractions, babies & toddlers, Big Kids, disneyland, disneyland resort, main street
I have calculated that I have been to the Disneyland Resort more than 1,100 days when I estimated my visits as a child, time as a tour guide and visits for fun while in college and with my own children. And in all that time, believe it or not, there are still new things for me to discover. One such attraction I had never experienced until VERY late in the game was the Omnibus. Considered by most to be an A-ticket attraction,* the Omnibus drives guests on a one-way or round-trip tour of Main Street. Before boarding this attraction...

May 9, 2017 in All Posts, dining, disneyland resort, Tips & Tricks for Families
Ever wanted to throw a birthday party at the Disneyland Resort, but can’t afford one of the restaurants in the parks or hotels? The price of admission can make it difficult to splurge for extras while in the parks. Luckily, you can throw your own birthday party in the resort picnic area. The picknic area is located outside the parks, to the far west side of Disneyland’s main entrance, and you can either stop there on your way in for a quick celebration or take a break away from the parks for a mid-day break. While clearly things like...
