YouTube Video Description↓

We took an evening stroll through Downtown Disney, spent some time wandering around the recently reopened Disneyland Hotel, and finished back up at the Disneyland Esplanade for fireworks. I've never watched the Disneyland fireworks from outside the park, but it was a decent showing. I was excited to see the Disneyland Hotel had reopened because walking around it is one of my favorite things to do when visiting Downtown Disney. We also went into the Star Wars Trading Post shortly to browse the merchandise. While we intended to go into World of Disney, it wasn't in the cards on this trip.
