Ride Profile: Haunted Mansion

“Dear Foolish Mortals, You are hereby invited to a spirited tour via "buggy" of the home and estate of a prosperous yet departed sea captain whose elegant 19th-century mansion in the New Orleans Square was once the setting for some of the most prominent social gatherings this side of the Mississippi.” One of Disneyland’s top 10 rides (as voted in the LA Times), the Haunted Mansion fun begins even before stepping into your buggy. If you have to wait in the queue pay special attention to the tombstones, as they can be very entertaining. Once you actually get into the house, guests gather into a room, where you soon realize that there are no windows and no doors, and the famous “ghost speech” is given. As with most Disney rides, the attention to detail is phenomenal! Do not rush to get to the ride itself, take not of the changing pictures and special statues in the hallway. When you do get into your buggy, the safety rail is magically lowered as you ...

World of Color

One of my absolute favorite things to view is World of Color. A combination of water, pyrotechnics and a lot of magic brings the Paradise Lagoon in California Adventure to life every evening! More than 1,000 water jets form screens and shapes that animations are projected onto. Although I have seen the show dozens of times, it never gets old, especially because as new Disney movies come out, they are incorporated into the show. If visiting both parks (or just DCA), be sure to get a fatspass for World of Color. The machines are right outside Grizzly Rapids and will have one of four colors (red, yellow, green, and blue), which is your viewing area during the show. Be sure to line up in your  specific area as soon as your fastpass tells you you can. Most people will sit down to wait for the show, which is fine, but be ready to wiggle to the front as people start to stand up. Another great way to get premium seating is through dining specials.

Ride Profile: it's a small world

Located in Fantasyland on the far side of the park, “it’s a small world” was originally created for the 1964 world’s Fair, to raise money for UNICEF. Passengers of all ages and heights board a boat and visit South America, Central America, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the South Pacific Islands in a ten-minute voyage.  The famous, catchy song is repeated over and over in the language of the area you are in. Dolls dance and show off attire of that area, and even some Disney character dolls join the fun throughout the ride. Even though it’s a slow, easy going ride, it is a good break to take in the summer as the whole ride is air conditioned and gives your legs a chance to take a break. Every 15 minutes, a parade of dolls in various culture costumes comes out from the base of the iconic clock. As the last doll returns into the clock, the parade doors close and the large central doors open to reveal two giant toy blocks—the large block displays the hour, the small one ...
