July Return Trip to Disneyland Resort: Part 1 - Disney California Adventure

8/2/2021

 
Picture
Last week we made our way back to the Disneyland Resort for our second Disney trip since the parks opened. We hadn't planned on making any return trips prior to the parks re-introducing some kind of Annual Pass program, but, well, it was a big couple of days for our family. Something I'll get into in the second half of this update later this week. In the meantime, enjoy Day 1 of our update at Disney California Adventure. 

Be sure to check out our video comparing the parks from early June to late July below.

Welcome back to the Disneyland Resort. Much easier time getting through Security than in June. Still, Disneyland does need to improve their entry process.

I would buy all of these if they sold them. But we'll get back to you tomorrow Disneyland
