Things to Do  

Disneyland

Disneyland, Anaheim

 223 Reviews  I was seven years old when Walt Disney opened the gates of Disneyland for the first time. It was some years later before my parents took me there for the first time. As a child, I was enchanted by every aspect of this theme park and it wasn't until I took my own children to Disneyland for the first... 

California Adventure

California Adventure, Anaheim

 69 Reviews  The Golden Horseshoe Saloon is one of the original buildings dating back to the park's opening in 1955. Walt Disney kept a private box (now public) upstairs to the left of the stage so he could watch the show. The original show, Golden Horseshoe Revue, had over 50,000 performances and was, according... 

Gardenwalk

Gardenwalk, Anaheim

 5 Reviews  A stone's throw away from Disneyland, the Gardenwalk, is a new stretch of outdoor shopping and dining which is a fairly short walk from the main Disneyland entrance (about 10 min). Major restaurants that front the Gardenwalk include the most entertaining American seafood stop Bubba Gump, the... 

Edison Field

Edison Field, Anaheim

 4 Reviews  One of the major entertainers of Orange county is Anaheim's own baseball Angels. The 2002 Major League Baseball champions play at Angel Stadium (formerly and regrettably "Edison Field"). Since the turn of 2000 the stadium, often referred to as the "Big A" has been remodeled and constantly there are...

The White House of Anaheim

The White House of Anaheim, Anaheim

 3 Reviews  Anaheim White House was a lucky find and the first time we went, we were really surprised to find such a great place first try! My friend and I had escorted a group of French teenagers on a weekend trip to Disneyland. After the kids took off for the park in the evening, we decided to go out for a...

Nightlife  

Disneyland / California Adventure

Disneyland / California Adventure, Anaheim

 5 Reviews  The HOB is a popular hotspot suited mostly for adults 21 and over at night. General admission may be allowed for certain events throughout the year. There are many locations of HOB but this one is particulary convenient for the D-Land traveler. Alcohol drinks are bit pricey here but I expect this... 

Transportation  

Disney Transport

Disney Transport, Anaheim

 14 Reviews  If you're feeling like you want some Hollywood action after taking in Disneyland, catch a very convenient, direct ride to Universal Studios via bus. Once, I made this 36 mile trip and was pleased with the smooth ride. Granted, there are a few hotel pick stops and some traffic but hey- this is... 

Shuttles

Shuttles, Anaheim

 6 Reviews  Things have changed since I last went to Anaheim. Especially, there have been changes made in the city that effects the transportation situation. I've mostly used my own car to get around Anaheim, but I have used hotel shuttles a couple of times. It seems that the hotels are not always offering this... 

Shopping  

Disneyland

Disneyland, Anaheim

 15 Reviews  When you are in Disneyland and on a travel budget looking for deals, don't buy the t-shirts inside the Disneyland. As for me, I went to California T-shirts (Yes, that's the name of the little tiny store). Look for it on South Harbor Road or call them for directions once you are in Anaheim. The... 

Local Customs  

Disneyland

Disneyland, Anaheim

 12 Reviews  Not only do I collect shot glasses but I also collect assorted fridge magnets of my destinations too. As everyone knows, I'm an avid collector of assorted kitschy items. And one of my collectible fancies are the assorted fridge magnets of my travels and here at the original Disneyland at Aneheim is...

Tourist Traps  

Disneyland / California Adventure

Disneyland / California Adventure, Anaheim

 12 Reviews  by not giving in easily at Downtown Disney. Price markup is smart for the vendors- bad for the tourists of course. Unless you are getting a gift or buying an item that's very unique, try to resist buying Disney items in DD. The Wonderland Gallery may be the one store where it may be OK to spurge a... 

What to Pack  

Comfortable Shoes

Comfortable Shoes, Anaheim

 3 Reviews  Bring a sensible bag with only the necessities. It's a pain making trips to and from the lockers at the main gates or all the way back to your room if you're staying at one of the Resort hotels. We use the lockers when we make a full day trip and want to take extra clothes like a jacket or sweater... 

Extra Film

Extra Film, Anaheim

 2 Reviews  Dress for the season. You'd think it would be warm all the time in southern California, but it can be cool and damp in late May. Therefore, watch the weather report and dress accordingly. Wear comfortable shoes because you're going to do some tall walking. Sunscreen is in order for the summer. 35mm... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Disneyland

Disneyland, Anaheim

 8 Reviews  Over the years new rides and attractions open at Disneyland and older ones close. This makes return visits almost as exciting as the first visit. Though some of our favorites are familiar, there is always something new to explore. One thing I learned after a few visits was to start the day at the... 

California Adventure

California Adventure, Anaheim

 3 Reviews  On the California Boardwalk section of Disney's California adventure there is a huge 16 Story tall ferris wheel called "The Sun Wheel". There are two sets of cars, one stationary, the others swing and slide around. (if you have kids, or a mildly week stomach, stick with the stationary) But the real... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Anaheim Angels

Anaheim Angels, Anaheim

 8 Reviews  As previously mentioned, my goal in life is to visit all the Major League baseball stadiums. Here is my review of Edison Field. First let me say, I liked the old stadium and as gross as Edison Field is, I'm not sure why they bothered to build a new one. At least they kept the giant A. 1) Arrival &... 

Favorites  

Disneyland

Disneyland, Anaheim

 27 Reviews  If you are heading to Disneyland especially during the summer time when children are out of school, expect long lines up to a two hour wait! Make sure to take the Disney's Fastpass. This is available to the following attractions: California Screamin', Grizzly River Run, Soarin' Over Califronia,... 

Information / Sources

Information / Sources, Anaheim

 13 Reviews  It seems that Disneyland and Los Angeles are synonymous in the mind of many visitors. Actually Disneyland is not in the city of Los Angeles, nor even the county of Los Angeles. Disneyland is located south of LA in the city of Anaheim in Orange County. In fact, in Anaheim, the main attraction is...

      The Comic-Con membership is free, but you have to have one to buy a ticket to WondeCon Anaheim. I hope you have fun. It might be too late to join the Media night event if you want to go as a VT Blogger. Even the media people have to be a Comic-Con member!
