Happy 60th, Disneyland! (Day 1)

This weekend I had the opportunity to get one more trip in before my Southwest Companion Pass expires. Diana, Johnnie, and I landed in Orange County on Friday morning and started the Disney fun immediately. 

After checking in at a Clarion near the parks, we headed to the marathon expo to pick up park tickets we had preordered at a discount. Since we were at the Disneyland Hotel, we grabbed burgers and drinks at Trader Sam's. We all agreed that Johnnie's choice, the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Rum, was the best drink at the table. The cheese burger with pineapple and teriyaki sauce was great, too!


Next we stopped in at California Adventure (DCA) and grabbed Fastpasses for the World of Color show that night and then headed to Disneyland (DL) for some rides. We managed to ride a lot of our favorites before dinner at Plaza Inn. This restaurant serves the Disney family recipe fried chicken, which was yummy!

We ended the evening with World of Color. World of Color has been updated for the 60th Anniversary and features Neil Patrick Harris and Mickey Mouse paying tribute to Walt's imagination and innovation through images on the water screens in Paradise Bay. The original show was good, but this new version is great, too!
