D23 Expo is here!

c Disney

In just a few hours, hundreds of Disney fans from all over the world will converge on the Anaheim Convention Center for the D23 Expo - The Ultimate Disney Event for Fans.  Daytrippingmom Media will be there to cover all things big and small, especially the models and information on the additions to California Adventure.

We were able to attend in 2009 and had a fantastic time and are looking forward to all the surprises that this weekend holds.  The Expo is kid friendly and there is even a Baby Care Center, similar to those found in the parks, available.  Tickets are available at the door.  You DO NOT have to be a D23 member to come to the Expo (but why aren't you?).

We'll see you there!

Esmeralda the Fortune Teller

What once was a dime now costs you a quarter, but regardless, Esmeralda remains an icon of the Main Street strip.

Disneyland Resort Parking

Next time you visit the park, I highly suggest skipping the Mickey and Friends parking structure and head down Harbor, past the old main entrance, pass over Katella and turn left when you reach the Toy Story parking lot.  It uses OCTD buses and moves swiftly to bring you to the old Lion King drop off area at the east end of the entrance promenade.  Parking is simple and now you can even purchase your tickets there at the parking lot (credit or debit cards only).

The other perk too is that if you are staying at a hotel in the area and they do not offer a shuttle service, you could walk over and take the buses, without any cost.

Did you know? This property where the Toy Story parking lot is, will be a third Disneyland Resort, if and when, they ever decide to build one.
