Background
My son and I got back from 3-day trip to Disneyland last week. This was our third trip since the parks opened up after the pandemic closure, but first time going just me and him (DH had to work and isn't as Disney-obsessed as us). I enjoyed writing up trip report for our last trip, so I thought I'd share all the details and photos again.
Here's a pic from our last trip! We had such a good time and going to the parks just seems to get easier and easier for DS each time we go (he qualifies for DAS and has challenges with new situations).
I wasn't really planning to go back to DLR so soon. But... I just got a new job starting this summer and was taking a few weeks off before starting in late June. I won't have as much vacation time the first year, so it only made sense to squeeze in another trip! Plus all the nighttime spectaculars were starting back up. I've never seen World of Color or the Main Street Electrical Parade and DS hasn't seen any of them (even the Fireworks since they always get cancelled on us).
My son also really, really wanted to go to Universal Studios Hollywood. He is completely obsessed with the Simpsons and was campaigning hard to make a Universal trip this summer. I was a less excited about that plan – mainly because it meant less time at Disney and new things can often be hard – but was looking forward to the Harry Potter portions.
