The decision of where to stay was literally making me crazy! Disneyland Hotel or Disney's Grand Californian? Ultimately we went with the Disneyland Hotel due primarily to the pool area, as our son is obsessed with the Monorail.

Walt Disney World Junkie Finally Planning a Trip to Disneyland!

I have a confession to make.  I’m a Walt Disney World Junkie, and sort of a Walt Disney World snob.  I’ve only spent 3 days at Disneyland, and they have been spread out over almost 15 years!  One day during my high school marching band trip (we got to march in the New Year

Tuesdays with the Timekeeper ~ Seeing World History through Nine-Eye

Circle-Vision was introduced at Disneyland in 1955 – on opening day to be exact. The concept started when Walt saw a Cinerama film that was presented on three screens. He returned to the studio and asked Roger Broggie – why not have the screens go all the way around the room? So

We’ve all heard the story about Walt Disney watching his daughter’s ride the carousel in Griffith Park and coming up with the idea to build Disneyland. But is it true? I guess you could call it a half-truth.  But, what really inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland was hi
