    I was a bit disappointed that I need to make an appointment for the fast line which is not really worth the money because at the end of the day we still need to wait for the available booking time

    I visited both parks in one day and walked 30,000 steps, but it was worth it. It was fun and joyful. It is true that one day's play is quite compact. I also used the fast pass reservation function as much as possible. It is very useful. Taking photos in the park is also fully included. It is worth it!

    The hotel was excellent; the rooms were spacious and clean. The shuttle to Disneyland was very convenient. I had booked five nights through another platform. Originally, I planned to switch hotels after Disneyland and then Universal Studios, but the experience was quite good, and since Universal Studios isn't far, I booked four more nights through Ctrip. There are many hotels near the resort, and the shuttle to the park is shared. This hotel's advantage in terms of park shuttles is that it's near the front of the pick-up line, ensuring a seat. This is very convenient, as the pick-up point is right outside the hotel. The hotel breakfast, while basic and with limited variety, was served in a large, clean, and buffet-style restaurant with disposable plates and utensils. Very convenient. The rooms don't offer bottled water, but there's a small area downstairs where you can buy food and drinks. Prices are similar to those in the park; you can pay by credit card or have it added to your room bill. The laundry room is next to the gym on the first floor. Credit cards are accepted. Laundry is $3.50 each, and drying is $3.50. There are vending machines nearby for laundry balls and detergent. If you're planning a trip here, I recommend bringing your own laundry pods, as they're more economical 😂. A small box of laundry detergent, enough for one wash, costs about $2. Just for reference. The hotel is not far from two nearby outlet malls via Uber, and there's also a Walmart nearby. I haven't tried walking, but although the distance seems short, it's right next to a main road, so you'd probably have to take a detour. Attached is a shuttle bus timetable for December 🚌, for your reference. Hope this helps those booking hotels!

    On the way from Phoenix to Page, we passed through three areas with completely different geological features and vegetation. When we first left Phoenix, we saw columnar cacti on both sides of the road. As the altitude increased, the cacti and other low shrubs disappeared, replaced by tall pine forests, and finally the barren plateau with Danxia landform characteristics. It was amazing!

    Downtown Disney District is an entertainment for all ages addition to its parent theme park. But the types of entertainment offered range from several yummy restaurants, to event spaces for music and shows, and last but not least the plethora of Disney focused shops where you can buy all of your Disney themed merchandise and collectibles.

    I watched six consecutive games. The team won four and lost two games, two of which were walk-off wins, and Ohtani hit a home run in three consecutive games, so it was a great experience. They swept the Yankees, which was awesome. Due to the weak yen and high prices in the US, it cost quite a bit of money, but I was able to remember a lot of things, like the helmet nachos and the big beer at the stadium. Anaheim is a safe city, so if you stay in a hotel in Anaheim, it's not scary even for women traveling together. I actually saw a group of women. The hotel I stayed at was about a 10-minute walk from the stadium. However, it will take longer if you don't use a rough technique to cross a huge parking lot to get there and back, so be careful of your car. Even in the heat of midsummer, it's dry and not sticky, so I think it's fine as long as you focus on sun protection.
