My solo trip to Disneyland began with seeing the Train Station at the entrance.

It’s time to step through the gates and sprint through the Disneyland Resort! For this second part of my Disneyland solo trip podcast, we’re rope dropping the parks and staying until they close. This Tomorrow Society Podcast episode includes clips recorded throughout my park day; I cover everything I did and my thoughts on all the big attractions. We start the day in Fantasyland with Peter Pan’s Flight and never really stop until after World of Color – Happiness ends. I barely took a break during a quick blitz through the two parks.

I had an incredible time at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, and it’s fun to look back at this solo trip. This podcast covers the first of two park days and my first experiences on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the Matterhorn, and a lot more. I also loved the chance to catch up with classics like Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones Adventure, and more. During this episode, I describe all the rides plus the great food that I had at both parks. Last week was just the appetizer, and now we’re set for the main course. I hope you enjoy my further adventures at Disneyland on this podcast!
