Departing the desert, we venture into the suburbs of the
greater Los Angeles basin. We overnight
in the Anaheim hills at the
Canyon RV Park.
This is a little gem in a nature preserve off highway 91. This also gives us a day to acclimatize to
the energy of Southern CA. The next day
we do the short jaunt to the
Anaheim Resort RV Park. This is the closest RV Park to
Disneyland. It’s a bit cramped, but clean
and we score a spot near the laundry room with only one neighbor. The staff is exceptionally friendly and
helpful. We are able to buy our
Disneyland
multi-day park hopper tickets here.
There is even a shuttle that leaves every half hour to take us to the
Magic Kingdom (for a fee of course LOL.) Can’t be much easier than this!

After settling in, the first item on the agenda is foraging…
out pantry is pretty sparse after three weeks in Death Valley… so we head off
to
Trader Joe's and stock up. On December
21
st we head over to “
the happiest place on earth” to spend the last
day of the Mayan Calendar. Seems like a
lot of others are of the same ilk. Both
Disneyland and California Adventure are decked out in holiday bling and packed
with revelers. We Spend time in both parks and end the day with fancy cocktails
in the Carthay Circle Lounge.

We make the most of the area and take care of business. (OK,
OK our “business” is more like do-da-ing around, but we still have stuff to do
besides play everyday.) We drop off a
couple of our camera lenses that need service after years of use and abuse at
the
Canon Service Center in Irvine.
Service is fast and reasonable. Dimples
gets detailed by
The Wash Crew. They do a beautiful job removing the desert. A little primping and polishing and she looks
brand new! Of course we can’t neglect Dave so he gets a deluxe spa treatment
over at the
Puddles Car wash.

After Christmas we take advantage of Camping World’s after
X-mas sale and finally replace the stock mattress with a
sleep number bed. HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!! If we could do anything
over in this adventure, we would have replaced the mattress immediately after
we brought Dimples home. Live and learn…
sigh.
More time is spent with Mickey fans (and there are really a
lot of them every day at both parks!!!)
We also catch
Django Unchained at the local Cineplex. All in all a great couple of weeks in
Mickey’s back yard. The only thing
missing is warm weather… so it’s off to the Palm Springs area… desperately
seeking sunshine…
