Ticketing is convenient and quick.
The world's first Disney park is a bit old, and the castle looks somewhat shabby, but it's the first one! The fun atmosphere remains undiminished, and the food prices inside the park are reasonable, similar to those outside, and the taste is also good.
Visiting both parks in one day is perfectly feasible.

It felt a little different from Disney Resort in Japan! It was exciting to ride Cars, a ride that doesn't exist in Japan!

Due to the current epidemic, self-picking is closed and there is only the farmers' market. The things there are relatively fresh, the prices are slightly higher, and the cost-effectiveness is average.

The water at Laguna Beach was exceptionally clear; you could see the rocks at the bottom. There weren't many people on the beach; an old man strolled leisurely with a metal detector. As the tide receded, small puddles were revealed, and children squatted down watching the sea anemones retract and expand. A cool sea breeze blew, the waves crashed, and the sun made everyone sleepy. Climbing up the hillside, the sea below was a truly beautiful blue, much more so than in the photos.

After going to Baboa Island, you can stop by here. There is a very good seafood restaurant by the beach. Here you can enjoy the sunset while having dinner. This is the Bulewater Grill, which is easy to find in Newport Beach.

The Crystal Cathedral, located in Orange County, south of Los Angeles, has become a landmark building in Southern California with its unique design and cool appearance.
I approached it at dusk and was really shocked. More than 10,000 rectangular glass windows glowed with soft silver light under the new moon, which was extremely beautiful~
