Thinking of an Annual Pass?

Each year more and more Disney goers turn to an Annual Pass as their way of entrance into the park. With a 1-day 1-park ticket running at $90 those planning to visit either park more than four times in a year, a pass is the way to go! Plus, annual pass holders save a minimum of 10% at almost all retail and dining shops in both parks, which adds up throughout the year! In addition, being a pass holder means no more waiting in the ticket lines at the park!

Especially with a new monthly pay plan available for those living in Southern California, starting at low as $15/month, a pass might be a big consideration for those wanting to feel the Disney magic throughout the year.

The cons to Disneyland are the rising prices. Each year Disney raises annual pass and daily admittance prices, in an attempt to thin out crowds. Plus, if planning an all day trip to the magical kingdom, you are bound to have to overspend on food and snacks inside the park. Parking is also expensive, for $120 you can buy parking on your annual pass, so if you plan 8 times throughout the year, it pays for itself.

Overall, if you live in the SoCal area, an annual pass is definitely the way to go when wanting to visit the Happiest Place on Earth more often!

Ride Profile: Mad Hatter Tea Cups

Celebrate your “un-birthday” in Wonderland by spinning and twirling in your very own teacup! There are a total of 18 cups that spin individually, on top of 3 separate turntables, on top of one large turntable! It a crazy contraption indeed, but it is Wonderland after all! (After a recent physics experiment, without spinning the actual cup, you will spin about 8 times during the ride, but with spinning you can get up to 23 spins. For those looking to spin as much as possible, try sitting in the purple cup or pink trim cup with hearts as they spin the most times!) The ride was created after the animated classic Alice in Wonderland , particularly the Mad Hatter’s party scene. So naturally the color scheme and unreal size of tea cups are not a surprise! This attraction was apart of one of the original rides in the park, located in Fantasyland today where it still has the timeless whimsical feel as on opening day. As for the hidden Mickey, this one is tricky to se...

Ride Profile: Indiana Jones

One of the most exciting rides at Disneyland is based from the popular movies Indiana Jones! Opening in 1995, after being under construction for 7 years and costing Disney about $100 million! The ride can be found between Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Carrabin. Since it is a crowd pleaser, the line can get very long, so I highly recommend getting FASTPASS and coming back to the ride later in the afternoon when you can avoid the line. Single rider passes and parent swap passes are also available, just ask the Cast Member at the front. The ride “takes place” in the Forbidden Temple where famous archeologist, Indiana jones, helps guide your’ ride, making sure you make it to the end. Visitors MUST NOT look into the eyes of the temple's idol, Mara, or an ancient curse will befall them. The ride moves through foreboding caverns adorned with flickering lights, mysterious wall etchings, ominous spikes, even-more ominous skeletons, and other diversions! On th...

Ride Profile: Jungle Cruise

Tiger and lions and bears “oh my”! Join your very own skipper as you cruise through rivers across the continenets. This journey lasts about 7 minutes once you leave the dock. The Jungle Cruise features four different rivers: • The African Congo  Tour an abandoned Pygmy site, glimpse a massive python and snap a picture of a camp overrun by curious gorillas. • The Nile River  Behold bathing elephants, angry hippos and hungry lions—but be on the lookout for a tribe of headhunters, recently spotted in the area. • The Amazon in South America  A canopy of green trees opens up to a native shrine, a mammoth anaconda and ravenous piranha! • The Mekong River  Explore an age-old shrine, home to baboons, cobras and crocodiles. Even though this ride is often passed or ignored as guests make there way to or from a more thrilling ride like Indiana Jones, I enjoy the Jungle Cruise as a easy going funny ride. ...
