Hello all, I’m finally back, and well rested, from my Disneyland trip and let me tell you we put quite a dent in this Bucket List! Caroline and I went non-stop this trip, waking up super early for park opening and staying out till the park was closed every night, in order to make sure we got as much as we could out of this experience. Below I have updated our Disneyland Bucket List in order to give you guys an idea of what we were able to accomplish while at the Disneyland Resort.

You’ll notice that I went ahead and added some side notes to our Bucket List. This is to showcase some things that we were able to see and experience on our trip that was not on the original Bucket List but that I think should be added to others list! I also apologize for forgetting to include a key in my last post explaining what certain items meant, so I have included it in this post so everything makes more sense:

• BOLD = those items that were a MUST DO’s on the list
• ** (anything after in bold) = an updated statement after my trip
• Strikethrough = Things completed on this trip

During this trip, we were fortunate enough to be able to see and do so much and as a result I’ve acquired so much information to share with all of you! Expect a bunch more Disneyland & California related blog posts over the rest of the summer. I’m also very curious as to what you guys would like to hear more about? Our strategy, what we ate, our tips and tricks to Disneyland, Disneyland vs Walt Disney World? Comment down below or DM me on Instagram to let me know!
