The last use of our Disneyland SoCal Resident ticket.
Today was extra special given that we were able to snag a great deal on the Disneyland Hotel to celebrate my upcoming 24th birthday!
We checked in early in the morning and to our surprise, they had a room ready for us. Upon entering, we realized that we had a room with a view—and not just any view, but a view of the Mickey-shaped pool (huge upgrade for free; we opted not to pay for a view to save some money). Yay!!!
It was truly a treat to spend a night here, as I previously stayed here back in 2012 as part of my high school graduation Disney trip with my friends. It was such a pleasure to return to the magical, light-up headboard that plays “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes”.
Not to mention, the Pixar Fest had just kicked off and we were extremely excited to be able to experience all that it had to offer. Unfortunately, it was somewhat of a disappointment, with the advertisement outdoing the actual event itself. I expected it to be more like Disney 60, but it seemed to be based a lot on food and merchandise. Oh well! We had a fantastic time at Disneyland regardless.
P.S. There’s a massive backlog of posts on my end—my computer’s hard drive conked out and it was finally fixed just yesterday! (Hopefully.) Stay tuned for some belated “Happiness Is” posts, our Pacific Northwest Graduation Trip, and new grad portraits. Cheers!
