 It's in the heart of Anaheim, and yet Disney does such an amazing job of making it seem like it's in the middle of nowhere, or everywhere, or like nowhere else exists. It's like they've stood in every possible vantage point and made sure you can't see reality, or where you are is as much reality as possible. It's truly incredible. There's a taller roller coaster in the Disney California park and at the highest points there are half tunnels enclosing the track. I thought them odd but realized afterwards they are designed to stop you from looking at the outside world. You might be able to see beyond the park in the other direction but I'll never know because the coaster was amazing and I couldn't see more than a few feet ahead of where the tracks were going. Disney is the ultimate experience in controlling the experience. (click on the photo, it should be relatively large and detailed for this blog.)

And the hotel offered a "continental breakfast" with the room rate. Apparently the continent is sprinkled. And shaped like a donut.
