Christmas at Disneyland

Posted in Recreation, Wonderland at 6:53 am by admin

Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year
for a child. Spending the happiest time of the year,
at the happiest place on earth, could be a dream
that comes true for many children and adults.
Christmas at Disneyland is an experience that will
never be forgotten, and can never be matched.

Disneyland works to make Christmas very special.
Santa’s Reindeer Roundup is especially fun, allowing
children to decorate Christmas cookies with Mrs.
Clause, play Reindeer Games, and make holiday
souvenirs. Between seeing all of the characters
dressed up in their holiday costumes and enjoying
the ‘snow’ after the Fireworks, Christmas at
Disneyland cannot be topped!

Make sure that you visit the Christmas Shoppe and
buy a special holiday ornament. Also, take part in
all of the special holiday rides. Visiting Disneyland
at Christmas time is unlike any other Disneyland
vacation you will ever take. Make sure you get a
picture of the Christmas tree!

Even though Christmas is considered to be
‘off-season’ you should be prepared for crowds.
Christmas is a very popular time to visit
Disneyland. Make reservations well in advance.

Disneyland Weddings

Posted in Recreation, Wonderland at 6:52 am by admin

Your wedding day is the happiest day of your life.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have the happiest day of
your life at the happiest place on earth? Of course it
would – and Disneyland has made that possible with
Disneyland Weddings.

Women start dreaming of their weddings from the
time that they are little girl’s. Now, you can really
have a fairy tale wedding that is truly unique,
romantic, and enchanting – and you can have your
very own ‘happily ever after’ wedding day at
Disneyland. Disneyland weddings include a magical
ceremony and a creative reception that you can’t
find any place else on earth.

You won’t have to stress over the details. Like
Cinderella, you can have your very own God Mother
to take care of the details – although in this case, it
will actually be a fairy God Planner.

Family Reunions at Disneyland

Posted in Recreation at 4:23 am by admin

Everyone looks forward to family reunions – and who
doesn’t love Disneyland? You can bring the two
together by having your family reunion at the happiest
place on earth. It is really easier than you might think
to arrange this!

Start by calling the Disneyland Vacation Planning
Services Department. Let them help you book rooms
at the Resort hotels, and admission tickets to the park.
You should be able to get discounts on the tickets by
purchasing them in bulk.

The specific service that you need to accommodate
all of your family members is the ‘Happiest Place on
Earth Picnic.’ This service is offered year round, and
includes admission to the park for your entire party.
You also get a choice of fully catered meals for the
event. For 100 – 300 people, your event can be held
at Big Thunder Ranch. For 300 – 1000 people, the
event will be held at the Festival Arena.

Disneyland Vacations for Toddlers

Posted in Recreation at 4:22 am by admin

Disneyland was designed for kids of all ages – and
toddlers are no exception! There are many things
that you can enjoy with your toddler – so many
things in fact, that unless you will be staying for
several days, you won’t have time to do them all.

Start with Toon Town. Here is where you will find
your toddler’s favorite Disney Characters, including
Mickey and Minnie Mouse. All of the Characters
have homes in Toon Town, full of things that will
amaze your toddler, and make them laugh.

Your toddler will definitely enjoy the Disneyland
Railroad. This is a great way to get around the park,
because there are stations in New Orleans Square,
Toon Town, Tomorrowland, and on Main Street. This
will amuse your toddler, and give you a chance to
see some sights and rest a bit.

Its A Small World is very appropriate for toddlers.
Music and colors will keep your child mesmerized
while you enjoy a relaxing ride across the water. The
Storybook Land Canal Boats is another good choice,
as it will take you through the miniature villages that
your child will be quite familiar with from their story
books.

Disneyland Purchases – Package Express

Posted in Recreation at 3:55 am by admin

One of the nice guest service features at Disneyland
is the Package Express service. This will allow you
to make purchases, and not have to carry them
around with you all day! Can you imagine trying to
hold all of your packages, your kids, and ride the
rides?

Instead, have your purchases sent to the Newsstand,
which is located near the exit. This Package Express
purchase allows you to pick your packages up as
you are leaving the park. If you stay till closing, note
that the pickup line will be very long. You should plan
to leave at least an hour earlier than you had originally
planned if you have packages to pick up.

You can also have your purchases sent directly to
your hotel if you are staying at one of the Resort
Hotels. This offers even more convenience, because
you won’t have to leave the park earlier, or stand in
the package pickup line. Another option is to rent a
locker, and put all of your purchases in it until you
are ready to leave. However, this means that you will
have to walk back to the locker after each of your
Disneyland purchases.

Party Tents

Posted in Recreation at 8:27 am by admin

I have always found it funny how people create space. For example, imagine milling around in a field with a bunch of other people. Imagine that there are a few tables set up, and that food and drinks are being searched. There is nothing in this field except for the tables, the grub, and the people. Feels a little bit awkward, doesn’t it? Feels like almost a party, but without location. Now imagine setting up a few party tents above the crowd. Imagine that there is a party canopy with some happy birthday banner hanging from it. On one level, nothing has changed. The same people are there, the same refreshments are being served, and it is still out in the middle of a field. Yet somehow, you have given the event location. This is what a party tent can do.
