Disney Quick Tip: Ask for the Front On Guardians of the Galaxy—Mission: Breakout

Disney

139/365 We love the semi-new Guardians of the Galaxy—Mission: Breakout ride at Disney's California Adventure. My kids didn’t like it, wouldn’t ride it, when it was themed to Tower of Terror.

Disney

127/365 Did you know that on Storybook Land Canal Boats, your kids can ask to sit on the bow? My kids love to do this, but at 8 and 10, they are starting to get a bit too big to fit. The first time they sat up there was when they were 5 and 7, when the Cast Member invited…

Disney

121/365 Every trip, we make time to watch the Frozen performance in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure. It's an amazing show, full of great music, fantastic effects, and daring stunts.
