We had a great time! It was just my 2 little girls, ages 5 and 9 since my husband is deployed.
We drove in that horrible hurricane, took us forever but we made it. :yay: At one point we had to stop because an entire tree was in the middle of the road and we waited for the fire department to come and saw it and move it. We live in Germany and this happened in Belguim. I took a picture of it too! I got a few strange looks. :rotfl:
We check in and head to the information desk to make dinner reservations. The lady next to me was NUTS! :eek: She was first getting a bit nasty, then she lost it. She started to scream and yell, more screaming. It was all in French so I didn't underastand what she was yelling about but then all of a sudden she picks up an entire brocure packet and throws it as hard as she could at the employee!! They called security on her. She walked away, walked back, screamed some more. She was a mess! This was at the Santa Fe hotel.
The hotel was ok. It did it's job. LOL I found the room to be really hard to find. Turn out we stayed in a building with 2 different building numbers and we just couldn't figure it out. The map doesn't show that buildings can have 2different numbers.
We got there at 4:30pm, threw our luggage in and headed for the park! This is my 3rd trip and the castle still amazes me. :wizard: My 9 year old wanted to ride Space Mountain all by herself since my little one couldn't go on it. I waited and waited at the exit or what I thought was the exit. This poor child got lost and she found me but she was hysterical by this time. I felt so horrible! A little of that popcorn made her feel better along with lost of hugs and loves. We also ate at Annette's dinner. Maybe it was just me because I'm an American but I didn't like the food all that much, and the service was really slow. I didn't dare order the Philly cheesesteak since I'm actually from Philly and I knew it would never measure up to the cheesesteaks that I ate at home! :rotfl:
Second day we went to Disneyland Park again. We also ate at Cafe Mickey and the kids and I LOVED it! We saw so many characters, we ordered a pizza and some appetizer with motzarella cheese and tomatos. It was so good, very fast service, and in 45 minutes we saw about 6 characters, ate, took lots of pictures and still had some time left over! I used my hald baord vouchers and I even got a drink with alcohol and didn't have to pay anything! The kids got a cute little toy and even at 21, I mean 31 years old :lmao: I love seeing the characters. It was a ton of fun and it's now going to be a staple in my future trip to DLP.
Third day we went to Disneyland Studio's. The Disneyland park is my favorite though. We saw Animagic, one of my favs. We rode some rides but the kids wanted to go back to the other park so we did. We rode POC a million times and my personal favorite, Small World a few times too. Then I drove 5 hours home, I was exhausted by the time we got back.
On an off subject note, the night we got home, I got a call from my dogsitter that my 12 year old retired military working dog was sick and I had to go get her that night. I adpoted her about 3 months ago and it's not looking good for her. She served the US military well and I think it's about her time to pass. She's been to war 3 times and protects the girls and I with everything in her. Unfortuantly her hips are giving out, she's in a lot of pain and won't get off the couch.
We had such a great time and I can't wait until my husband comes home so that we can go as a family!!! :yay:
