I dont know about it being the "Danish Disneyland"... because Solvang was nowhere near as fun as Disney... or maybe not. But it was... kitch. It was also about a thousand degrees (ok... about 40) and I was very hungover after Grand Final Day... so that generally made the whole day a struggle.
Founded by Danish immigrants in 1911, Solvang boasts authentic architecture, thatched roofs, old-world craftsmanship and traditional windmills. Over 1 million visitors come each year to experience the northern European culture, cuisine and unique boutique shopping.

We also visited the Mission Santa Inés - we haven't yet visited the Santa Barbara Mission, so we decided not to do a tour. But there was a great display of the Stations of the Cross.
Views over the wine country of Solvang and area from the Mission. (Don't even talk about wine to me today - I'm never drinking again).
