First International Disney Park Visit Is a Go!

 I know I've said this before, but I am finally visiting Disney outside of America! I was suppose to go to Tokyo Disney Resort in May of 2020, hoped to get there by May 2021, then October 2021, but maybe December...alas, it is not meant to be.

However, I just booked my flight and hotel to Disneyland Paris! This was actually suppose to be my last international park visit, but world circumstances have bumped it up the list! I'm pretty excited now that the trip is actually booked.

Barring any last minute policy changes, I will be on my way to France in October to celebrate my birthday and Halloween!

Chrismas in Disneyland for the first time in forever!

I have not been to Disneyland during the holiday season since 2006. Fifteen long years! Nearly half my life! It's not that I haven't been to Disneyland, because I have.

Summer 2007. Halloween 2016. Halloween 2017. Summer 2019.

But no Christmas! And I've never been for Easter, or really any other time of year, but that's a post for another day...

So now that the parks are open again, I am going! I'm so excited! I had my dates selected before the parks even opened, or knowing what the procedures were going to be. And I'm going far enough out that I still have no idea how things are going to look!

Will fireworks and parades be back? Can I hug my husband, Goofy? Do I need to wear a mask on Splash Mountain? Is Haunted Mansion Holiday happening?

All major questions that I don't have answers to, and likely won't until closer to my trip. I desperately want pictures with characters, but I feel like that will be the last thing to return. Likely early 2022.

I'll also be making a day trip to Universal Studios Hollywood which I haven't been to since...I can't even remember. But It's been around twenty years!

I can't wait!

My Disneyween 2020 Must-Do List!

I caved and booked a trip to Disney World for mid-October. I was going to wait for more news about my home park, Disneyland, but then I got a great offer from Disney World and just went for it. Of course, I'm still disappointed that a lot of things aren't going to be available, but then I thought about it. I still have a pretty long list of attractions and foods that I didn't get to on previous trips! I can focus on those while crowds are low, and when the parks are fully functioning, I can go back and do everything else!

So here are the things I must do on my upcoming trip to Walt Disney World.
