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. 

RSR has one of the best queues 

One of a few things they got completely right on opening day 

Grizzly Peak is the one of the other things they got right on day one 

We finally tried some Avengers drinks!

Today we have a rather large update from Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for you to feast your eyes on. During our visit last weekend we were kind of all over the place, which was a good thing. 

So this update has a bit of construction stuff, some Galaxy's Edge stuff, and some food and wine stuff (which we WILL get back to soon). Enjoy! 

Me: My kids are grown, I avoided ever getting a mini van!
Disneyland: Hold our Moof Juice. 

Our first stop in the morning was to get the Indy pop. I have to be 100% honest, I didn't realize it was a big one. When we walked into Wunderland Gallery in Downtown Disney to get ours I was shocked, as you can see below. 

Before taking Indy back to the car for the day, had to take him around the park a bit. 

After getting our Rise boarding group (18 FTW) I had to actually leave to run an errand. We made it to Rise with 5 minutes to spare. 

I also had to try out my new iPhone 11 Pro, rather impressed with the results. Check out a Rise of the Resistance Slide Show below. 

Video of the amazing ROTR Pre-Show and "transport"

Jake and I also had some fun and did a reverse POV

The extensive rehab for The Haunted Mansion is continuing 

Apparently some of these scrims have come down since Saturday

Over at DCA we took a quick look at the Food and Wine festival. Didn't try any treats, but we'll be back. 

Avengers Campus construction is continuing as well. 

As well as the admin building next to Luigi's. 

They're still claiming "Summer" for this to open. We'll see. 

There was some cone'struction going on in Cars Land

Back over at Disneyland, couldn't remember if we had a shot of this during our last update

And there was this thing. 

If you've followed our site for any length of time you'll know we are huge fans of single rider lines. That said, not sure it really works for Star Tours. I think our wait was pretty much the same as the stand-by line. 

No lie, I don't think I'd ridden "regular" Space Mountain since 2012. So yay!! 

​Wonder if they'll bring back the Dick Dale soundtrack for 90's night? That would be worth the admission alone. 

After saying goodbye to Jake (he had woof'ers to take care of) I went and did some other single rider things. Like Indy!! 

Look into my eyes 

Mark Twain ... Maaaaark Twaaaiiiin

It was a beautiful late afternoon, so decided to do a POV of the Mark Twain

Boop

Sunset over Galaxy's Edge 

Did single rider on the Falcon. I had only done this once before, as a pilot. I will say, there is definitely a difference between being a pilot and an engineer. The ride itself was still a ton of fun, more a difference in the movement of the cockpit. 

​Another slideshow, because why not. :) 

What a piece of junk 

There was some kind of lightsaber meet in Galaxy's Edge. This was super cool. These photos aren't watermarked so if you participated and want to use any of them, feel free to do so. :) 

I had never noticed all of the hidden mickey's before

Over in Fantasyland, some work going on with the Carousel and Snow White

It's going to look amazing when it's done 

Goodnight sweet Disneyland. We'll be back soon!! 

It's time for another update from Walt Disney World where there seems to be a major project going on at every park. Well, 3 out of 4. =) 

Today we're taking a look at Disney's Hollywood Studios as they are beginning the celebration of their 30th year. This update features a look at Star Wars Land and the all new Incredibles area.

It’s a good day when you snag a Slinky Dog Dash FP when you wake up. Still bringing in the crowds with a 110 minute wait.

A peek at the current Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge construction.

The 30th anniversary banners for Disney’s Hollywood Studios are appearing throughout the park.

I’m pretty psyched that Num Num Cookie has made its way to the east coast.

The new Incredibles area has made good use of the former Pixar Place at DHS.

The Edna Mode experience and Super Shindig are some of the great character interactions you can find at the Incredible Celebration.

The news reporter and other actors appearing as citizens of the city of Municiberg are very entertaining.

The artwork along the walls for An Incredible Celebration are definitely appealing to those looking for those Instagram-worthy photos.

Always awesome to see the March of the First Order along the streets of DHS.
