I will admit that I was a little disappointed with the castle at first! I'm used to Cinderella's castle dominating the skyline as you walk up Main Street. I actually had to look for the castle. As my husband reminded me, this is the original and it's smaller. Smaller doesn't mean that it's bad. It meant that there was less walking involved, which made my feet happy! The lands are smaller and closer together and made it easier to ride hop. I also enjoyed the fact that it felt like there were less shops in each land and the shops that were there were small. I felt like I was able to focus more on the rides and entertainment because I wasn't being distracted by wanting to check out another shop.
We really enjoyed California adventure too! Tower of Terror and the California Screamin' roller coasters were our favorite part. I think we rode each 3-4 times. We spent the entire day there without a break. I was cranky for a good part of the afternoon but we still managed to enjoy the 3D Muppets and the live Aladdin show. We learned a great lesson: a mid day break is essential to have a happy Poe!
What's your favorite thing about Disney?
Don't worry...there are more vacation posts to come. I haven't even covered rides, character pictures and food yet!
