So much is added each time we visit. Coming from way up north of Disney it takes a great amount of planning and prep! So as Uncle Walt said Disneyland will never be complete. We are still in California and planning our next visit
Hi Erin!
I really enjoyed this Time Capsule post and it brought back many memories from our December 2011 visit to Disneyland Resort. I just loved how all the details had such meaning and depth and I especially love the intimacy of Disneyland Resort.
Disney Imagineers go the extra mile when it comes to accuracy, meaning and detailing. I love how the most remote corner even has detail, for nothing is overlooked.
Thank you,
Jacqueline (Jackie)
