I will have my computer with me, and I will definitely be posting pics as soon as I have a chance! Only 6 more days before we leave! If things work out though, we may leave a mid-day Sunday, instead of REALLY early Monday morning.

Oh - and great designs on the Oct thread mnmrmustard!

Very cool - you'll probably be like me, feeding the Disney addiction uploading pics and writing notes on the trip while the rest of the fam naps or plays in the pool

Since you're in Mt Shasta are you flying out of Medford or Redding ...or are you guys just going to drive it?

Thanks much on the designs Playing with stuff like that really helps me pass the time and keep in a Disney frame of mind

We drive the whole way. It usually takes about 10 hours for us, depending on traffic. If I can time things right, we can do it in 9 1/2. We try to leave early enough for the kiddos to sleep most of the way so that we can minimize stops. I see you are in Oregon... where at?

And unfortunately, taking my laptop is more of a necessity than a leisure thing. Both DH and I are taking a full load of online courses right now, so we have to check in for homework!

I want to try to minimize my time online though, because the Anaheim Plaza (where we are staying) charges and additional $10/day for internet. Over the course of a week, that can add up to the cost of a few churros and dole whips!

Ohhh, we know that drive. We live in Grants Pass and my best time was our last trip back in 2005 - made it in 11 1/2hrs Oh yes, the more time the kiddos can sleep, the better.

Oh fun, good luck with the coursework. I don't tend to have the focus for online coursework. I'm taking classes here and there for a bachelor's at SOU but it is hard to handle with work and all the family stuff going on

Yeah, we're staying at DLH (first and probably only time) and they charge for internet. But if my work calls and I have to go online to troubleshoot something they get to pick up the tab

Subscribing. I can't wait to hear all the reports. Of course, it will drive me crazy, since I won't going until the end of the month! I will bring my computer and do a TR, too, with pictures. Much like what I did for the opening of the Villas at the Grand Californian.

Love the shirts. Can't wait to see and read! I love Halloween time at Disneyland.

Just got back from 5 days in the parks(sept.25-30th) and had blast. Loved all of the halloween decorations and attractions, ghost galaxy blew me away, saw halloween screams fireworks twice which far exceeded my expections, they played a "Grim ginning ghosts" remix during the show that I am determined to find for my ipod haha.

Other then then that did the normal tour of the parks,saw fantasmic with GREAT seats. We somehow got dead center front row for the second the showing, it was cramped but well worth it.

Anyways it was a great trip, more detailed report and a ton of pics and food porn in mine and disneynerd420s actual report
