This trip I will be staying again at The Disneyland Hotel because it is my favorite property. It is so perfect for anyone's visit because its the original and really focuses on Disney all around the property Even the main pool is shaped like Mickey, which I love starring at from the balcony; they also have amazing cocktails down there too! The rooms I think are what makes this hotel really special. They are all centered around Disney from the paintings to the pillows that say "A dream is a wish your heart makes."
If you want to go a little over the top, the hotel also does have 5 or 6 themed Disney rooms on the upper floor but be ready to pay ALOT. And if you want to go super crazy and get the full experience you can spend the night inside Sleeping Beauty's castle suite, which is now open to the public (its so breathtaking inside) for about $10,000 plus a night I believe. You have got to look up the images and videos of the suite! Disneyland Hotel is also home to Steakhouse 55 which is the highest rated steakhouse in Disneyland (I'll have my birthday dinner there) and its at the end of "Downtown Disney" so you can hit all the fun shops and activities while it directly takes you straight-on into the park. There's also characters walking around inside so you don't have to hunt them down in the heat at the park. This hotel is also a good place to start your search for the "Hidden Mickeys." These are Mickey Mouse emblems that have been interrogated into rides, walls, etc. There are probably thousands since the park has grown so much, so I get too frustrated with searching ha!
First on the list is going to be the Twilight Zone's "Tower of Terror", then "The Haunted Mansion" (which Jack Skellington is taking over),"Space Mountain" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". Over and Overrrrr!
A cool tip I JUST learned about is that you can receive a survival certificate after the "Haunted Mansion" ride if you just ask the attendant before the ride, they will present it to you after the ride. There is also a creepy "Pet Cemetery" to the right of the mansion, and if you ask an attendant they will take you over there for a private tour. This is one of the original rides from the park so it's very old and I just love seeing the images on the walls inside. I actually just ordered a phone case of one of the images inside the ride for my new IPhone6-Plus. There's a lot of talk about the Mansion actually being haunted because its no secret that people actually sprinkle loved one's ashes inside the ride, even though its not permitted. Scary!
Of course before anything, Im going to stop at Guest Services on the way in to get my Happy Birthday huge button hehe. Everyone must know ha! If you can make it to the train ride early enough and they're not too busy you can request to sit in the special car. No one usually rides in it because they don't know that you can. The train car, "The Lilly-Belle", was made and modeled for Walt Disney's wife so it is very elegant and special. In "Mark Twains Boat Ride" you can ask to go to the front where the Captain is and if you're nice, they well let you steer the boat! Also ask an attendant nicely for your certificate after you get off the boat. :) If you do the "Jungle Ride" you can get a collectable map after you exit if you just ask. And before you get onto the "Space Mountain" they say that the wall is magnetic, so its a tradition to stick a penny to it. Inside the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride there are real skulls and crossbones that were donated from UCLA from when the park opened. After that ride I plan on having lunch at the Blue Bayou which is connected to the ride, so when you're eating you see the water and riders. There is NO ALCOHOL in the park AT ALL, so scratch birthday drinks off the list. The only place to have cocktails in the park is at the very hidden, members only Club 33, which was created by Walt Disney for celebrities and such. There is supposedly a 5 year waiting list at this point to become a member for only $25,000...chump change right? HA.
As said before I am all ready with cute Disney outfits all by Black Milk Clothing. I have several items from their first Disney release in 2013 and then new items from their Disney 2.0 release this year. I am just going to stick with Black Milk skater dresses probably for the entire trip except for dinner where elegant attire is required. I still haven't decided on anything final yet. Lucky for you and me several of their Disney 2.0 items are still available for sale on the website so I might pick up a few extra goodies. Also, their Halloween release will be around that time, so I may just be able to rock some of their new or old Halloween looks since Jack is taking over the park!
