Disneyland for Spring Break

We thought going to Disneyland during fall break was bad and you thought we would have learned not to go when school is out but nooooo, we forged ahead and went during spring break. So we resorted to Plan B: visit the rides and attractions that kids do not normally like, or do those that we can get to the front of the line. We also took advantage of the smaller crowds earlier in the day. Here are some of our moments captured for posterity:

We stayed at the Fairfield, as we enjoy the hotel and it's location to the parks. When we arrived we discovered that they had remodeled our accessible room. Once we got the front desk clerk to admit they had an accessible room with a tub, we discovered the bed was so high that DeeAnn could not even get up on the bed. I'm not sure what Fairfield was thinking but at least they were able to provide a bench for DeeAnn to step up onto. I wonder what they do for other disabled guests.

California Adventures is still being remodeled, one large construction zone. Guests entering the park are still being redirected but they have made significant progress on the new entrance.

Some of the construction walls are very cute and creative. Where else would you see people stop and take their picture in front of a construction barricade?

Cars Land is making pretty good progress, with their opening sometime next year. We visited the Blue Sky Cellar, where they exhibit some of the upcoming attractions such as Cars Land, the entrance pavilion and Little Mermaid.

Disneyland is not without construction as well. the Emporium was open while they refurbish the facade.

We took a very informative tour of the Mission Tortilla Factory where fresh tortillas are made and provided as samples at the end of the tour. Fresh tortillas are yummy!!

Flowers are in bloom through out the park.

Course, I was dragged to it's a small world.

The queen of the angry totems was out and about as well.

My obligatory picture on front of the library.
