What is a trip to Anaheim with out a visit to Disney? Seriously. But since Lucas is just too small to appreciate the Dumbo ride (which happens to be a poignant memory of my childhood visit), we decided to do the next best thing....Downtown Disney. It is the "shopping" area of the theme park that doesn't require a ticket of admission. There are fun stores, street entertainment, and yummy food. Shout out to the YUMMY caramel kettle corn Lynnae bought. Still dreaming about it...a little bit....maybe a lotta bit.
We had reservations at the Story Teller's Restaurant. Located in the Grand Californian Hotel, this place is soooo delicious. But we had a few minutes to kill before dinner so we went to the Lego Store. I've never wanted to buy Lego's so bad in my life. Weird. But we got our photo with "Sheriff Woody" and "Darth Vader". Super fun.
Then off to the Grand Californian, which has to be one of the most beautiful hotels. It doesn't even feel like you're in Disney Land, but more like a posh resort on the side of a mountain. Love it. Someday I'll find a frivolous reason to spend the money to stay there. Someday. But the lovely "Frank Lloyd Wright meets the outside" theme follows us into the restaurant. There's huge pictures of Legendary stories on the walls. And there's a cozy fireplace in the center of the room. And the food.....mmmm....food. WOW.
