Ropedrop & Parkhop: Helping you Dream, Plan and Do Disneyland

"When there's a smile in your heart, there's no better time to start. Think of all the joy you'll find, when you leave the world behind and bid your cares goodbye. You can fly." — Disney's Peter Pan 

We start a deep dive into the Disneyland attractions (just rides, not experiences), starting in Adventureland and working our way through Critter Country. We talk about the ride itself, give some details about accessibility, height restrictions and what to expect... but, guys... There are A LOT of attractions at the Disneyland Resort, and we only have about half an hour... so this will be a several-part series over the next few weeks... Stick with us and we'll give you all the attraction details! Don't forget to subscribe, rate, review and follow us on IG and FB: @Ropedrop.Parkhop

First things first: We recorded this episode LAST week immediately after we recorded the previous episode, so if we still sound like we are Disney tired... it's because we were! Second, there has been some news from Disneyland this week including the new Genie and Genie+ features in the Disneyland app that will premiere later this year. Disneyland also posted a teaser on their Instagram for three new treat trails that will be featured during Oogie Boogie Bash, which we have opinions about - We will chat about all of this and more next week when we are back in the recording studio!

For this episode, we discuss the  two GREAT hotels we were able to stay at while we were in Anaheim this month - The Howard Johnson (HoJo) Anaheim, and The Castle Inn and Suites. And - guess what!? We loved them BOTH and would totally stay at either one again! Both hotels are clean and affordable options within walking distance. Listen in, get the low down and don't forget - we have a discount code for the Hojo Anaheim (find it on the "Hotel Tours' highlight bubble on our IG - where we also share a room tour!)
