Re: DVC Mike Live from Disneyland

I just love the Matterhorn! To me, it is the main icon of Disneyland, rather than Sleeping Beauty Castle.

I feel the same way. Although, I do absolutely Sleeping Beauty's Castle.

I think the crowds will definitelty pick up on Friday as folks take an extended Memorial Day Weekend. I've noticed a lot more check-in's this afternoon at the GCH.

Re: DVC Mike Live from Disneyland

I finally got to see "Disney's Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular" at the Hyperion Theater.
I can sum in up in one word - AWESOME! It's a great show - not to be missed!

Re: DVC Mike Live from Disneyland

After the show, I had a late lunch at Taste Pilot's Grill. It's your basic burger, ribs and chicken CS. Not bad.



Earlier in the week, I ate at Award Wieners. Decent hot dogs.



One of my favorite spots on a hot day is Bur-r-r Bank Ice Cream (behind it is the Baker's Field Bakery, which is also good).

Re: DVC Mike Live from Disneyland

I must again stress how much I like how close everything is together. Below is a shot looking out from DCA and I can see the Matterhorn at Disneyland Park.






At 2pm, there is just a 15-min wait fot ToT. Not bad.

Re: DVC Mike Live from Disneyland

I spent an hour or so on the balcony reading a book, listening to the crowds at DCA, and admiring the view. Not a bad way to spend some time.

I also looked through the Disneyland Then, Now, and Forever book I bought today. Great book!
