By 1 Comment

Winter is an interesting time to visit Disneyland. On the one hand, this time of year brings the Lunar New Year Celebration to Disney California Adventure, which is always a lot of fun (and the food is GREAT, too!). The weather isn’t bad (it’s usually not too hot and not too cold). But there is one downside of visiting Disneyland this time of year…refurbishments.

Space Mountain in Disneyland

Ride refurbishments and maintenance have to happen to keep rides running, and generally, a lot of it happens in the early part of the year. Well, one ride will close soon in Disneyland, while two rides in California Adventure are set to close soon for refurbishment, but the good news is that they’ll only be closed for a short time.

We know we say it a lot, but celebrities are Disney adults, too. They might not be like us in many ways, but they still get giggly when they meet Mickey, they obsess over their Disney collections (John Stamos, we’re looking at you), and they frequent La Cava del Tequila so much that they get their own table and/or drink.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

Well, one celebrity recently visited Disney World for her birthday, and she was experiencing pure happiness, especially after riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. The celebrity? Emmy-award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph (who we LOVE on Abbott Elementary).
