After buying the requisite Christmas ornament to remember our trip, we wandered into a side room right in the castle, not knowing what it was. It was a little room showing some little bits and bobs related to Sleeping Beauty's Castle! I was not expecting a little room tucked away, but it was nice to have a little poke around and see what was what. Definitely worth it if you have a couple minutes to spare!

It ended up being a bit colder in California than we had anticipated. Definitely could've used my gloves if I had brought a larger bag in with me. And maybe a light jacket to go over our hoodies. But the good thing about being in a park is that there are no lack of warm beverages and indoor shops to warm up in. That is just what we ended up doing when the sun started to set and the nip of the evening set in.

Status: FOUND! On 12/28/18





The Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is a really neat little wilderness area where there are rope bridges, climbing walls, swings, ziplines, and neat looking caves. It's a fun place for folks of all ages that doesn't require waiting in line. It also has some fun facts about California scattered around as well. It was a nice thing to do as we didn't have enough time to wait on line for another ride but still wanted to enjoy a bit more time at the park before departing.

And this crane has been found by Brandy! Brandy wrote, "Yes! I was happy to continue with the crane quest. I have been making cranes since 5th grade and am now 35, so it was nice to find it along our adventure. We took our young daughter to Disneyland for a vacation and we utterly enjoyed the Redwood Challenge Trail; I was happy to come upon your little treasure along the way. I will place it again when I find a good location. Thank you for taking the time to make people smile. It's the little things in life that bring joy."

Apparently both Mickey and Minnie have houses in Toontown that you can tour along with get a photo with the character. However, there's no option for those of us who don't need the picture to just take a poke around the house. The wait for each house was over an hour and we didn't have that sort of time. So we took a little tour of Mickey's Garage, with it's adorably cartoon tools and yard items. Mickey sure knows how to keep his garage tidy!

The Chip and Dale Treehouse was the equivalent of a children's Tarzan. You climbed into an adorable little house where Chip and Dale lived, poked your head around the room, and then climbed another staircase down. It was really precious!

One of the things Disney World doesn't have is a Toontown section for small children. I was telling my Mom about it after the vacation was over, and she said I used to love the Disney World one when I was younger. However, at some point in time, they did away with that specific area and turned it into something different. I'm glad I was able to experience it and actually remember it! I definitely could see a younger me really enjoying all the little nooks and crannies and places to go here.

After watching the afternoon holiday parade, we popped into all the shops on Main Street, USA to see what they had. We stumbled across the Penny Arcade. It had a bunch of really neat, old fashioned games and things to see. We played with the grip strength meter and the fortune teller like thing. It was really neat to see the wooden machines and imagine the sorts of folks who had used them in their pre-Disneyland home.

I checked out the Starbucks "You Are Here" Disneyland mug since I am a big fan of those really retro looking mugs they have. However, the espresso mug design was a lot nicer! If the line hadn't been so darn long, I definitely would've picked up one of those to add to my collection. The only problem with the mugs when you're collecting them is that you run out of room real quick!

We popped into the Disney Gallery, which has a lot of really neat art pieces and sketches you can commission. Thumbing through the options, we saw a perfect one for a friend of the parrots from the Tiki Room attraction. It was super easy to get it set up and not terribly expensive! If we weren't afraid we wouldn't be able to get it home, we probably would've gotten one for ourselves!

One of the most fun things about Disneyland is seeing how some of the rides and attractions differ ever so slightly between Disney World and Disneyland. Tarzan's Treehouse is a similar attraction to the Swiss Family Robinson House in Disney World, where you climb up stairs and see how life is in the trees as well as the plot of the story. It was also really neat to be able to see some of the construction of the new Star Wars area that will be coming to Disneyland in the future.

We walked on over to one of the other Disney owned resorts for dinner as we were trying to find a restaurant with enough space for a large group, and the PCH Grille was it! Although the hotel and eatery decor was a bit dated, they definitely provided enough Italian options with their buffet! And the hotel had some lovely nautical holiday decorations to boot!

Although on a much smaller scale, Disneyland and its associated resorts are definitely well decorated for the holidays. Grand Californian was no different. It looked a lot like the Wilderness Lodge, with its rustic decor. The coolest thing was the HUGE gingerbread house that took a team of over 2 dozen folks to put together. I don't recall the stats offhand, but it weighed a lot and was taller than I am. It definitely looked like it was quiet the feat.
