    My Disneyland Land & Sea Trip

    A 4-night Disney Wonder Baja cruise plus Disneyland trip was fun but chilly, with Catalina a highlight and Ensenada skippable. Disneyland was low-key with standby lines and shows, and the recap favors longer cruises while teasing future trips.   Links: WDW Prep Toolkit Small World Vacations Disney Cruise Line Request The Anaheim Hotel   Leave me a message (including trip report submissions) Please use the SpeakPipe link below to leave us a message with your first name, location, and trip info.
