AboutSusan Wood Expertise I can answer questions specifically for families going to Disneyland, California Adventure and the resorts in that area as well as the Disneyland Hotel.
Experience I have been going to Disneyland on a regular basis since I was a child. Growing up in southern California, it was a real tradition for our family to go as well as take all of our relatives to Disneyland. Recently, when my daughter was three and my son 10 months old, my husband and I started the tradition of getting annual passes and going to Disneyland multiple times a year. We average about 12 - 20 times a year and we have been doing this since 2003. This year we are going to Disney World to learn more about those parks. I have been reading books about Disneyland and Walt Disney including the 50th anniversary book and my daughter and I love the Hidden Mickeys book and I also read Mouse Tales which was very interesting indeed. I would love to share my love of Disneyland with families that are coming for the first time. There is nothing better than the joy on a child's face when they see their favorite character for the first time.
Education/Credentials I have a bachelor's and master degree in psychology. I have my license as a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist.
Question In between the Jungle Cruise and the Tiki Hut, there is a show room of some sort - I think it has to do with Aladdin. What is that? Also, is I make reservations for the Disney Art Gallery place to watch Fantasmic, how much can I plan on spending per person for their desserts?
Answer The Aladdin show used to be running but I haven't seen the show being shown for some time. It was a comedic, musical Aladdin show but as I said I'm not sure if they run it during high season or if it has been cancelled permanently. The Disney Art gallery is no longer open. You could get a table at Cafe Orleans which is a sit down restaurant with an outdoor patio. I would definitely make reservations in that case. Have fun and I hope those answers help.
