After a vacation hiatus, I’m back on my blog kicking things off with a special birthday vacation edition of Fantasmic Five Friday…

1. After hearing mixed reviews of Innoventions new House of Tomorrow, I was extremely impressed with this new edition to Tomorrowland.
2. Disappointed that the Haunted Mansion Holiday was scheduled to open just two days after I left Disneyland, perhaps one of the best birthday gifts I received was a soft-opening of the holiday overlay on my last day in the park!
3. Toy Story Midway Mania didn’t disappoint… look out Buzz, I think I have a new favorite arcade-style attraction.
4. The Grand Californian was as majestic as ever, reminding me why it’s worth a little extra savings to stay here.
5. The Post-Disneyland Blues have set in hard… look for lots of Disneyland updates to follow.
