Café Orleans

When visiting Disneyland, a must have is the Monte Cristo and Pommes Frites at Café Orleans in New Orleans Square. They have so many great items on the menu, but these two items are a Disneyland Classic that you have to indulge in at least once.

Indoor or outdoor seating available. I prefer to sit outside so I can people watch and enjoy the sights and sounds of New Orleans Square.

Springtime at Disneyland

Springtime at Disneyland is something very special. You can’t help but stop and enjoy all of the flowers and greenery around every corner. On our recent trip I couldn’t resist snapping pics of the touches of Spring throughout the park, as well as Disney California Adventure.

Birthday Celebration at Disneyland

Every year we designate a December and January visit to Disneyland for both of our boys’ birthdays. On these particular visits, they get to pick out what rides we hit and get any treats they want…wait, they do that every visit?! HA! My youngest turned 7 this year so we visited the park in late January to celebrate his day. On our way to the park, I like to tweet @disneylandtoday for a fun little birthday shout out that makes my kids’ day.

Happy Birthday tweet from @disneylandtoday for my birthday boy!

This particular visit he wanted a Mickey pretzel as soon as we got to the park. Mickey pretzels can be found at Pretzel Carts located all throughout the park. They also sell a side of nacho cheese at an additional cost or cream-cheese filled pretzels. Continue reading
