After some advice and help from Fairyweather Travel, we planned a trip to Disneyland. Our first day involved traveling to Anaheim. The flight from Portland to LAX is only two hours; it seems like it should be longer.
Once we checked in to our hotel, the Anaheim Hotel, we walked over to explore Downtown Disney.
There, we found a taste of the crowds to navigate over the next few days, and also this display at the Lego Store.
We also took a picture of Matt in front of the Downtown Disney Salt and Straw, though we did not partake. Thinking about it now, we should have checked to see if they had any Disney-specific flavors.
The lines for food at Downtown Disney were long, so we returned to our hotel and bought breadsticks and salad at the on-site Pizza Press restaurant.
After that, we completed another Exit game, the Haunted Roller Coaster.
Matt holds up the pumpkin task.
I enjoyed how clever this task was.
Here is our certificate.
At the time we were visiting, fireworks at Disneyland happen only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I had plans for us to walk back to Downtown Disney for the fireworks, but travel is exhausting, and I was in bed by the time the fireworks started at 9:30. So there were no fireworks for me. Matt did go out and watch a few of them from the hotel.
