Recently I tried a new local eatery because I was Recently I tried a new local eatery because I was curious. I love musubi, so naturally I had to stop in at @musubisquare in Anaheim. 

I was delighted to discover they offer specialty musubi, and opted for the crab and crunchy shrimp musubi. They did not disappoint.  Definitely the reason they are voted the best musubi in Orange County, CA. I cannot wait to return.

School started early August and we were already re School started early August and we were already ready for a needed break. Such a great day in the park with minimal wait times. 

We started our day at 8:30 with plans to grab breakfast, but decided to check right times and found Indiana Jones was only a 10 minute wait. Next we headed to
Pirates of the Caribbean, which we walked on. Then off to Haunted Mansion Holiday, only a 10-minute wait as well. 

Seeing we were on a trend walking around this side of the park and hitting up all the rides, Tiana's Bayou Adventure was next in line, also 10 minute wait, and my first time on it since it was remodeled.

Making our way to Star Wars Galaxys Edge, we stoppednfor Rise of the Resistance and our longest wait of the day at 35 minutes. Smugglers Run, right around the corner was 5 minutes wait.

Then we made our way back to Big Thunder Mountain also with a wait time of 6 minutes.

Off to Small World with a 5 minute wait time and Matterhorn Bobsleds, we walked on with single Rider line.

Then it was time for a lunch break and cool down time at the DVC Lounge for about an hour. We ended our day Space Mountain  at a 30 minute wait.

It was the most rewarding Disney Day with  10 rides and half a day in the park!
