We are the family friendly, Father/Daughter podcast that will feed your passion for Walt Disney World by sharing our experiences and opinions as well as others from our community of passionate Walt Disney World geeks. I’m joined tonight with my cohost.  The smartest, cutest and sweetest Disney Daughter in the World, Lindsay. Our guest on this episode is Kristi Fredericks from disneyworldenthusiast.com and TouringPlans.com Author of two Disney Resort books: A Tale of Two Resorts: Comparing Disneyland and Walt Disney World 501 Ways to Make the Most of Your Walt Disney World Vacation Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over the French forces of Napoleon III on May 5, 1862, at the Battle of Puebla.

Atmosphere Topic 1 Disneyland is rich with history and ambience. Being the smaller of the two destinations, it has a strong sense of charm and coziness. Around every corner, there are unique details and themes that bring the Disney “magic” alive. Stepping into the resort is like a trip in a time machine bringing you to a place of long ago when life was filled with joy, fun and entertainment; where anything can happen. If you are a history fan, there is nothing quite like walking where Walt Disney walked and visiting the place where it all began. Disneyland Park is far more detailed than the Magic Kingdom (though New Fantasyland gives it a run for its money). Disney California Adventure is no slouch either with the best themed Disney park land in the country at Radiator Springs in Cars Land and the celebration of California’s great outdoors at Grizzly Peak. Topic 2 Budgeting – $1000 more for Disney plus airfare Topic 3 Because of its smaller size, the Disneyland Resort only has three on-site hotels. All three of the Disney owned and operated properties are clean, nicely themed and well maintained. Disneyland also has partnerships with 39 other quality properties in the area that they give the honor of being considered a “Good Neighbor Hotel.” These hotels run the spectrum from no-frills economy types all the way up to luxurious superior resorts.
