Travel Tips

Dennis the Mennis Playground     Just North of the Downtown/Fisherman’s Wharf area Great slides and rock climbing stones. Peddle boats rides available. Also a skate board park. Snack bar in parking lot.

Serendipity The best Mexican Pottery. Butterfly pottery from Guanajuato is beautiful. Also metal work and other pottery available. 2 blocks away from the main church on 472 Juarez Street. Or across the river over the first bridge (closest to the ocean) away from old town, on the right hand side of the street 2 blocks away.A Dr. Lum Favorate!

Many but not all of these tips also work at other Disney parks. At DisneyWorld, I recommend skipping rides that are available at Disneyland. This especially applies to the Magic Kingdom.

Heavenly Ski Resort If you take the Gondola up on the California side of the resort from the Marriott lodge, when you reach the top of the mountain, there is a elevator just to the left as you exit that will take you down to the slopes. Ride the elevator down and up at the end of the day to skip walking up and down the large staircase.
