I have to say that I have wanted an iPad for a long time and for lots of different reasons. However, (maybe not so) secretly, the biggest reason might have come after Disney released its free Disneyland Explorer app, exclusive to the iPad. So, when the big day came, I went directly home with my […]

The World of Color Dining Package is a Prix Fixe meal that comes with three courses and admission to a special Dining Package viewing area at that evening’s presentation of World of Color at Disney California Adventure.  While the viewing area is a great perk, the best part of this meal might just be the […]

The past few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind for me, so I’m working on getting back to the swing of things here on Rays of Disneyland.  But, Christmas at Disneyland is one of my favorite memories of my life so… onward into December!
