Michelle Takes Her Family to Disneyland! Get Ready to Make Some Magic Michelle’s husband has been fighting to go back to the beach for a while now, but unfortunately, they just haven’t made the beach a priority in the last couple of years. Neither Michelle nor her husband has ever traveled to California, and they did take a trip back in 2018 to Disney World, but it’s been a while since they had a good vacation with the whole family.
So, they decided to take a trip out to California to check out Disneyland and LEGOLAND before the kids got too old to truly enjoy it.
Disney World has four parks — Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios, and Disneyland has two parks — Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. They are both very similar, they both have the same building setups, rides, hot weather, and humidity! Michelle’s son’s favorite part of the whole trip was building his own lightsaber! Disneyland Adventure Park has done a lot of things with “Star Wars,” so he was really looking forward to that. His lightsaber was green, and he was able to get a secondary color so that it could turn yellow! Michelle knows the colors mean something according to “Star Wars,” but she’s not too familiar with the franchise; however, seeing her son excited about it was all that truly mattered.
Her daughter’s favorite part was the stuffed animal she picked out! It is the elephant from Disney’s “Inside Out,” and his name is Bing Bong. He’s pink and covered in cute patches all over. She was so attached to it that she would carry it everywhere they went during the rest of their trip. Michelle and her husband Josh’s favorite part of the trip was actually neither of the parks — instead, it was the beaches! They had two different beach days at Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach. Josh’s favorite beach was Huntington Beach and Michelle’s was Laguna Beach, and both beaches were absolutely gorgeous! Michelle wishes she could’ve had more time there, so they’re definitely going back for sure! NO-FUSS CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP Inspired by RecipeTinEats.com
