Where Not to Buy Disneyland Tickets (she: Kimberly)

Each year during the busy travel season, we hear stories firsthand from families who bought Disneyland tickets for what they thought was a great deal, but then find out they were scammed. And that is NO fun at all. With that said, I thought it would be good time to warn families about where not to buy Disneyland tickets for their summer vacation – just to be safe.

Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary Sneak Peek (she: Kimberly)

Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. If you’ve read my posts before, you know that we LOVE Disneyland. And if you haven’t heard, this is a big year for the Disneyland Resort. It’s Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary and it’s going to be amazing! I was lucky enough to be invited to a special sneak peak a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share a little bit of what’s coming with you.

First of all, the event will kick-off May 22, 2015 and it’s going to be huge. For starters, since it’s Disneyland’s Diamond Celebration, Sleeping Beauty’s Castle and the Carthay Circle Theatre are getting diamond makeovers. When I was there, the castle was being worked on around-the-clock and although it was a little sad to see sheets and scaffolding, the final result will be well worth it.
