we booked the Holiday Time at Disneyland Park tour with high hopes that there’d be something of value there besides just access to seats at Candlelight Processional that night, part of an offer limited to the first weekend in December.

A few weeks ago I was able to experience something that was only on my Dream Bucket List – something I never thought would happen. I got to tour and spend the day at Pixar Studios in Emeryville, California.

In yesterday’s post I detailed the history we learned about the El Capitan Theatre on our Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation tour last weekend. After the organ concert and history presentation, we were broken into groups and sent dashing through the narrow halls backstage to try to see everything before the theater opened for business that morning.

Check out these little known experiences that include Miyuki (the candy artist), World Showcase Wine Walk, Disneyland Boudin Bakery Tour, Goofy’s Candy Company Make-Your-Own Treat, and Behind the Seeds Tour.

To conclude "Animal Kingdom" week on a high, we thought that we would post why we love this park so much and why it is such a beautiful park to visit and explore. Enjoy the following article and short video as both demonstrate why you need to visit Disney's Animal kingdom during your next visit.
