Off to Anaheim!




It has been a while since I last visited Disney's original theme park, 6 years to be exact. A conference I regularly attend is being held at the Anaheim Hilton, right across the street from The Happiest Place on Earth. Since I'll be so close, how could I not stop by to pay it a visit?

My travel day hasn't exactly gotten off to a great start. I woke up at 3am to catch an early morning flight, only to discover upon arrival at the airport that my connecting flight had been cancelled. The airline has re-routed me through Atlanta, getting me into LAX a few hours later than originally scheduled. I can't really complain, though - they squeezed me into First Class!

To pass the time on my flights, I decided to try to come up with a list of must-see attractions:

- Finding Nemo submarines - I am looking forward to seeing the cool animated special effects.
- Monsters Inc - I never got to see the original ride that this one replaced, hopefully I'll get to catch this one.
- World of Color - I have read nothing but great things about this new nighttime show in DCA.
- Captain EO - I haven't seen this show since the 90's. It's kind of neat that Disneyland has brought this back.
- Tiki Room - I know, this is an oldie, but I haven't seen the original in quite a long time. (It was being refurbished when I visited in 2005).
- Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln - another oldie, but one that I have never seen.

I'm taking a few days after the conference has ended in order to be able to fully enjoy the parks. Stay tuned, hopefully I will find some time to post my experiences.
