We successfully crammed in a full day of fun at Disney’s California Adventure and Disneyland Park on our third day at the Resort. Although we rode a ton of rides our favorites were Radiator Springs Racers and Indiana Jones attractions. We also enjoyed a chill lunch at the Blue Bayou Cafe.
Following a fun and relaxing visit in Scottsdale, Arizona we packed up to car for the five hour drive to Anaheim, CA! We arrived at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel in time to enjoy dinner at the Napa Rose Lounge. We spent the rest of the evening exploring the two parks at the Disneyland Resort.
The start of our 2017 Spring Break took us to the beautiful state of Arizona. We stayed with my parents and explore Old Scottsdale, Frontier Town Cave Creek, OdySea in the Desert aquarium and more. We rode a horse drawn stage coach and ate at a bunch of fun restaurants. Check out all the photos, stories and video of our trip.
