Here was my verdict on Disneyland..... first of all thanks for everyones comments and advice not to compare DL to WDW. I grew up in my early childhood in CA and had been to DL many times. In 97 I visited again. Yesterday, my wife and I decided to focus on rides and attractions that were not at WDW. After completing those we went back and rode rides found at both parks. I must say the Star Tours upgrade was AWESOME! We had a great time but were missing our kids. I think that was a big part of the "missing magic." All in all it was a great distraction from settling my fathers estate. Indiana Jones ride was fantastic. Pirates - I like DL's better than WDW. How do you like the Wookie Hat from Star Tours?
The look is definitely you! Sounds like you had a fun day. I'm sure we would be distracted by missing our kids too. - Jalex239  379.8 #7 1:56PM
Love the hat! - disneycm  328.1 #12 3:22PM
Great hat !!!! - skcanfield  352.0 #10 3:24PM
Looks great! - islandgirl58  162.1 #32 4:38PM
I'm glad to hear you found some of the magic! There are some rides I prefer at DL and others I prefer at WDW. Of course there's Indiana Jones too! Both destinations have things to offer. But, if given the choice between a long weekend at DL and a week at WDW, 4 out of 5 times I'm picking WDW! - CollegeDisneyKnowledgeGrad  393.8 #6 8:04PM
Nice hat!! :) - mrsincredible  403.8 #5 8:31PM
Haven't been to Disneyland since I was a kid. My grandparents took me - tomevans13  155.5 #36 8:35PM
Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed some aspects of DL! - MomWithAJuiceBoxBuzz  922.2 #94 9:44PM
Sounds like you had fun. I hope settling your dad's estate wasn't as unpleasant as settling my Dad's was. - ally  440.3 #4 11:28PM
Never been to Disneyland. - 5disneylovers  341.0 #11 11:56PM
