I took 2 short notice girl trips this year…. my 6 kids weren’t super happy with me😂 Had such a great time!!!
Seeing my sister get proposed to under the Adventureland arch last month was pretty darn special, but I love, love, loved the return of the Paint the Night Parade (and for me, that also meant the return of the Paint the Night Dance Party)! I hope we’ll see it return sooner rather than later, and, to be honest, I would love to see it stay for decades. (I think it’s “practically perfect” as a successor to the Main Street Electrical Parade and it deserves to have a lifespan at least as long as MSEP.)
2018 was pretty good year, with improvements to the Pier in Disney California Adventure Park. However, the Pier is a large part of DCA so too many attractions were closed during the reimagining of that section of the park. 2019 will be amazing! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge looks very cool! Will we hear more regarding the Avengers new campus they are building in the Golden State next year?
