The Delicious Side of Disneyland: Part 2

March 2, 2015 by Kathy Strahs

Mickey Pretzel from Disneyland

Disneyland has gotten pretty cute with its food, I must say. Who can resist a Mickey-shaped soft pretzel? Apparently not my family!

Last time, I shared the food (and drink!) we encountered at California Adventure — this time we’re across the plaza at the park that started it all.

Dancing with Pooh

For the first time in our history of visiting Disneyland, we actually made it to the entrance gate right when the park opened at 8 AM. We only had 30 minutes until our breakfast reservation at the Plaza Inn on Main Street USA, but at that hour we easily had time to walk right onto Star Tours and Autopia and FASTPASS Space Mountain for Mike and our son.

All right, we were a few minutes late for the reservation but it wasn’t a problem. 🙂 They took us to our table and the stream of characters began flowing through immediately. There’s a bit of a premium placed on these character breakfasts — it was $95 for the four of us — but the kids love hugging Winnie the Pooh, Goofy and everyone.

The Delicious Side of Disneyland: Part 1

February 23, 2015 by Kathy Strahs 2 Comments

Hello from Disneyland!

Eighty degrees and sunshine — that’s how our family prefers to do “ski week”! We popped down to the Disneyland resort last week and I thought I’d share with you how that all went. I’ll split it up into two parts: I’ll devote this post to California Adventure (aka, the one with the wine) and next I’ll share our highlights from Disneyland. One day my rocking the mouse ears will embarrass my children, but fortunately we’re not at that point yet. Game on!

Wharf vs Wharf

We actually went to California Adventure on the second day of our trip, but I’m sharing it first in case some of you aren’t as familiar with that park. It’s directly across the entry plaza from Disneyland and, especially fitting for this blog, celebrates the splendor of our state. Here’s a cool example in the pics above — I took the one on the left of Mike and our little guy last summer on Cannery Row in Monterey, on the right is California Adventure’s rendition of the same scene. Pretty close!

Finding Home

Finding Home
I miss home.

I’m not even entirely sure of where “home” is. When I find myself referring it to it lately, I’m talking about San Diego. It’s where Mike and I lived for 10 years before our recent move. It’s where we got married, bought our first house and had both of our kids. It’s where we made lots of wonderful friends who became like family.

For many years — decades even — before we lived in San Diego, “home” for me was where we live now, the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s where I grew up from preschool until the start of my sophomore year of high school. It’s where I returned for college and later business school at Stanford, where I held my first real job and where I met my husband.
