Tag Archives: Spring Break 2016

Needless to say we are quite the Disney fans, visiting Walt Disney World often as it is right in our backyard.  But when we get the opportunity, we also love to visit the original, Disneyland.  We decided for our spring break 2016 trip, we would head out to Anaheim for a few half the week, and then spend the second half of the week visiting Grandma Jean and Papa Don is Scottsdale, AZ.

Thanks to Emily, I got a GoPro for my 40th birthday which provided for a lot of fun capturing the moments from the entire week.  I compiled videos of the different days of our trip and made the into a playlist that you can watch below.

We began the trip with an early flight out of Orlando en route to Los Angeles, CA.  Although the flight was turbulent and lengthy, we were excited to arrive in California.  We arranged a limo to take us from the airport to Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, where we would be staying.  We made the most out of day one, spending the majority of the afternoon exploring Disney’s California Adventure park and planning what we wanted to do for the rest of our visit.

The second day is always the toughest as your body isn’t adjusted to the time change yet so you end up waking up way to early in the morning, ready to embrace the day.  We made the most out of our day exploring a great deal of the entire Disneyland Resort.  We had a delicious breakfast at Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel, and rode a ton of rides at both Disneyland Park as well as Disney’s California Adventure.  We had a scrumptious lunch at Cafe Orleans and finished up with some Mexican food at Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill.  Many more photos and memories were captured in the day two blog post below.

We started catching our stride on day three, as we were excited to celebrate Hunter’s 9th birthday!  We focused our attention on Disney’s California Adventure Park, hitting the park early to try to get as much done as we could before the crowds arrived.
