This summer right before the school year started. I took our kids on a last summer outing over to Adventure City in Anaheim Ca. But….. since we always seem to have great weather we will definitely be back on a weekend 🙂

 

 

We’ve been to Adventure City before and really loved it! It’s a perfect place for a day outing. Adventure City is a small Amusement Park where all the younger kids can all have a great time. Our kids ages 4,7 and 9 and they absolutely love this place.

First off the Parking is FREE!!! and very close to the entrance. As soon as you walk in, you will notice how clean and well taken care of this park is. Everything is nice and bright and there’s lots of beautiful flowers and plants all around the park.

We like to start on one side of the park and go all the way around so we try every ride.

 

As we make our way, we see the Show times Board and keep those times in mind while going about our day 🙂

One of the kids favorites is the School Bus, our four year old didn’t want to get on so I stayed behind while grandma and the kids rode.

 

 

 

Our Little guy loves this Train!!!

 

  

 

Riding the Train is a great one to try early in your visit because it takes you all around the park and you can get a feeling of everything else you will experience later it’s also a great one for the whole family to get on together 🙂

   

 

  

All the rides are included in admission but they do sell a FunCard which gets you points to use on the Rockwall and Arcade 🙂

  

This was really nice for our girl because two years ago she didn’t make it to the top and this time she did!!! She was so happy and proud 🙂

The Airplanes are also a favorite

 

Next to the Airplanes you will see the Balloon Racers this is my favorite 🙂 I think they are pretty to look at and the air feels great when you fly up!

    

For something a little faster try the Freeway Coaster

 

Another thing I love about this place is their food. I think it’s fairly priced and good portion size. Since we were running around a nice treat is always good 🙂 we decided on Nachos and Chili Cheese Curly Fries!!!! They don’t skimp on the cheese!

 

And for the Mama’s Starbucks!!!!!!

I was so happy to see they brew Starbucks Coffee as well as iced!

You can also purchase an Adventure City cup and get refills throughout the day for $1.00.

A huge plus for our family was when I asked for a refill on my own water bottle and they showed me where they have an ice bucket along with water they even have cups free of charge!

Our family drinks tons of water and theres no way I can keep buying bottled water this is so nice of them to offer it.

There’s lots of places available to sit and eat but we took our food over to the show area since it was almost going start. 

There’s plenty of benches and tables all with great views of the show.

       

The kids thought the show was pretty funny!

Adventure City also has a Petting Zoo, also included with admission I think they sell feed but we didn’t do it.

                         After petting the animals they have a handwashing station right across the way.

Carousel fun is always good 🙂

   

We doubled up on some of the rides and one of the last rides we rode was the Drop Zone I stayed behind with the little guy and these brave kids got on with their brave grandma!

    

The last ride for the day was the Roller Coaster our nine year old son went ahead and got on by himself 🙂 Brave kid gets on everything!

  

Before leaving for the day we did have some fun over at the Arcade all 3 kids shared one $20.00 FunCard and it went pretty far they all played what they wanted, got tickets and even collected prizes.

                     

The Price is right for this Park and you end up with a nice full day of fun with lots of memories made 🙂 Hours vary but they dont open to early or close to late. You can definitly do everything in one visit.

This Park makes me feel happy because it brings back childhood memories. Back when I was a kid my dad would take us to the Beach and on the way home we’d stop by Hobby City which is right next door to Adventure City. There was lots to do back then and the buildings are still there today. I even remember when construction started and when Adventure City opened in 1994 we didn’t visit because I was already in high school but I knew once I had kids or nieces and nephews Id be bringing them to visit.

Im Happy to say we have a GiveAway!!!!!!!!! 4 Tickets to Visit Adventure City!!! to Enter please like share and comment on this post 🙂 let us know if you’ve been and what you liked or if you haven’t been what you’d like to try 🙂 There was a couple more rides that i did’nt get pictures of.

This weekend we wanted to have a weekend full of Disneyland. We planned our stay over at Grand Legacy at the Park, also known as Ramada MainGate at the Park. Staying here was the best thing we could’ve done 🙂 Right off the bat we received outstanding customer service everyone at the front desk and vallet were very helpful and friendly. We arrived hours before check in we filled out our paperwork got our parking permit which by the way is $5.00 with your stay! and walked right on over to Disneyland!!! the walk over to the park is 7 minutes!!!!! thats it!

 

    

Once it was time to Check in we walked on back, easy as that!!!! We really wanted to go back to the park in the evening to watch Fantasmic and Paint the Night so in order for the kids to hang in there until midnight we figured it was time to take a little break.  

 

Heres a little glimpse of our room, as you see its perfect for a family. The room is nice and roomy, extremely clean, nice size fridge so make sure you fill yours up. I was also happy to see plenty of coffee ( a huge plus) , quality toiletries that smell amazing and even make up remover wipes!! all these things make me very happy 🙂  

A little helpful hint if you have a Birthday boy or girl is to let the front desk know when booking, they will leave a little treat for them 🙂 you can see these kids were thrilled! a little to thrilled that they wanted to stay and play with what they got 🙂 

It was a beautiful day and it wasn’t to cold yet so we went for a swim! anytime we visit a hotel we really make it a point to swim even if its just for a bit. The kids always seem to remember and more memories are made at the pool 🙂 can you see tower of terror in the distance over in the 1st pic?? 🙂

      

 

   

The Hotel Pool was Heated and is shallow enough even the little ones can sit and play. The kids really enjoyed the Splash Pad and rested their legs in the Hot tub 🙂 

Once we swam and slept we headed out to Denny’s just a couple doors down. If you show your room key you receive 10% off 🙂 the other side of the key also saves you 10% off over at McDonalds also just a couple doors down.

 

After dinner we headed back to Disneyland!!!! The Grand Legacy is so close we didn’t even take a stroller.

  

We ALL hung in there until 12am closing 🙂 and it was all because we were able to take a break half way through the day. We also had peace of mind knowing we just had to walk across the street! no long drive home for us 🙂 there we are walking out. 

Back to the room here they are all cozy in the beds 🙂

Complimentary Continental Breakfast is served from 6:30am-9:30am this is another great perk when staying at The Grand Legacy so helpful saves time and money. They offered donuts, cereals, fruits, toast, bagels, biscuits and gravy along with juices and coffee. Everything was well stocked and nicely organized. 

 

Since Check Out isn’t until 12:00!!! we had some time to run on over to California Adventure. We got there very fast and were able to get in a 15 min line for Radiator Springs Racers!!!! 

Check out at 12 is a huge plus!!!!!!!!! 

We really enjoyed our stay at The Grand Legacy at the Park. Every single employee was happy to help and very friendly 🙂 The rooms are all remodeled and have a lot of space for everything that comes with a family. I love that the room felt very clean especially with kids. We had a ton of fun in the pool and lots of memories were made. I think we found our family tradition hotel when visiting Disneyland :). Our kids also have a special attachment and will remember this hotel because about two weeks ago we were invited to the unveiling of the Hotels new Name and were able to walk around and check out the new amazing changes coming up. Some of the changes include a new Breakfast Room that will still be complimentary. The new building will hold beautiful luxurious rooms and suites.  

6 Retail shops will be open at the ground level a mimi mart, ticket store, pizza place, and a scooter rental shop for sure. 

Something we are all excited about is the RoofTop Bar and Lounge which will be open sometime in February. The Rooftop will be family friendly during the day. We were up there!! you can clearly see Hollywood Tower of Terror over at California Adventure and Space Mountain and the Matterhorn over at Disneyland as well!! 

  

This is gonna be amazing at night! to be able to watch the Disneyland Fireworks have a drink and walk right over to your room 🙂 we really cant wait!!

The Bar will be a Full Bar serving  Cocktails, Beer,Wine, Drinks along with light food all available for purchase. There will also be a stage for entertainment. The Rooftop is 5,000 square feet and will also be available for hosting Meetings, Special Events, Corporate groups and Weddings. An Indoor meeting space which holds 60 people will also be available.

We can’t wait to visit again and with a family of 5 we found it perfect!!!!
