Just wanted to check in here and leave a message for all of you who have given such wonderful information. My kids and I just returned from our week in Anaheim and had a blast!
The information I collected from this message board made our visit so much better and helped me out so much- thanks!!
I thought I would try to pass along a few things I learned on the trip, although they may have been mentioned before.
-I found out there is a bus which picks up at the Anaheim Resort Transport stops, that takes shoppers to the Santa Ana Main Place Mall.
I wasn't aware of this and went driving all over looking for a mall when I had a car for 2 days. Next time I'll take the bus. I believe it's free for riders with an ART pass.
- When we arrived, we took a taxi to a grocery store ($8 each way!!) next time I would find a shop somewhere on the ART line and take the shuttle back and forth. At the time I didn't realize I could take ANY shuttle with the pass, not just to DL.
- While food shopping the first day, next time I will stock up on snacks to pack in a bag for taking to the park, like cereal bars, etc. The DL park snacks nearly broke me...$2.50 for a churro, $3 for popcorn! -yikes!
- Don't bother with the airport shuttles if you have 3 or more in your party. Taxi from Anaheim to the John Wayne airport is about $35 and the shuttle is per person pricing...
Most of all...
DON'T MISS....the show at California Adventure called "The Power Of Blast" It was absolutely amazing and wonderful. I'd love to see the entire production if I get the chance. The kids loved it too!
