The Disneyland Bucket List - Rough Draft

If you don't know me, I'm a huge Disney fan and I love to visit Disneyland.  Being in Northern California and working in the Hospitality Industry has given me the opportunity to travel down to the Disneyland Resort more than most people.  I'm very blessed in that area.

Panoramic picture taken with my Atrix 2 using a program called Photaf.  This was at the VIP Seating for World of Color.
I typically hear comments "Your there again", "Wow, you go often", and one the more recent a favorite comment "Do you ever work?????? your at Disney all the time."  However, recently I was asked, do I get bored and have I done everything at the Disneyland Resort.  The answer to both questions is no.  I still haven't gone on every ride at the Disneyland Resort.


If you've been reading my blog, you would have seen the blog about turning 30, I really wanted to get something taken off my bucket list this year.  After the above comment, I got to thinking, I need/want/should do a Disneyland Resort Bucket list.  I'm currently trying to type it all together.  I'm going to consult some people I know to be Disney guru's to help my compile the list.  But in the meantime, here is what I have now:

The List starts with all the attractions and restaurants at the parks.  The fun stuff has the header of "Other Key Disney Treats."
