No way Jose! We are going to Disneyland! 3/13 - Movin' on Up!

[LifeIsDis]

Hello!
I’ve been following along. Thought I’d comment

Oh my goodness, you leave today on the Magic! Hope you have a wonderful time!

The Disneyland Hotel looks amazing. Very modern.

I love the idea of the outdoor fireplace. Very cool!

I love the monorail slides. They are the coolest thing ever.

The rooms look amazing. I love the “fireworks”.

Ohmygod I love the Mickey hand lamp in the room. It’s adorable.

Blue Sky Cellar seems really cool! I agree, I wish they had something like this at WDW for Fantasyland.

Buena Vista Street and Cars Land both look INCREDIBLE.

Wow - another amazing update! I want to go to DL!!!!!!!

Have an awesome cruise! I'll make sure to check FB this week - a lot!

By the time you get back I will be on my way, so see ya around the DIS boards and on FB! Enjoy!

Love the "tour" Brook, thanks!

I know you are on your way from FB, and hope you all have a great time.

Thanks for sharing so much about the hotels. They are amazing for sure. Sadly... a bit on the pricey side. I am not sure if dh saw some of your pictures over my shoulder or what, but he recently suggested we go for a long weekend to DLR. So I did look into the Disney hotels, but even with a military discount I just couldn't justify it. Hopefully, the place we are staying which was super cheap will be "good enough". I am not looking at places to dine... I JUST looked at ESPN menus. Looks like it might be an option.. DL has so much fewer options.. and those they do have a more than I think WDW are. Course... maybe I am just use to the dp.

Have a super fun time on your cruise!!!

I found it!! Henry and Joe are swimming in the monorail pool picture at the bottom of the pic!

Well my excitement was short lived when I see you posted that they were there. LOL
I am loving these pictures!!!

Thanks for the pre-cruise update! It was so fun to see the pics from the Disneyland Hotel - we loved our stay there so much. And the info about Cars Land was great - loved the pictures.

Have an amazing cruise!!!!!

great photos of the Disneyland resorts! I love that preview room - you are right they should have that at WDW! Too funny that you heard a familiar laugh below - hey they had a chance to try that pool that is way more important than a nap!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Bon voyage Brook! I am following along on FB!

 

[petals]

I am lovin your update I need a headboard like that

 

[SnowWhite09]

Looking forward to hearing more from your DL trip and your cruise!

 

[Pesky]

Loved your TR and look forward to your cruise one! Have a great trip!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hope you are still having a blast aboard the Magic!!!

I am even more in love with the Disneyland Hotel than I was before! Love that old school feel of it!!!

Hiya Brook! I'm finally here and all caught up!

So many things to comment on, let's see how much I can remember....

Totally agree with you on DLs version of Space and Pirates being better than WDWs, Pirates especially is AWESOME. I have to admit that after riding it, the one at WDW has lost some of it's appeal.

We also had a similar experience with the Indy FP, it was totally worthless, if I remember right we waited about 25 minutes

Your pictures of White Water Snacks in the Grand Californian reminded me of the yummy chicken nachos I had there, I could so go for some of those right now!

I'm looking forward to the Little Mermaid ride opening in WDW, it's probably my favorite Disney movie and the attraction wasn't yet open at DCA when we were there.

I gotta agree with you on the Toy Story queue, it is very lacking! I sure don't remember the scenes from Andy's House in the exit though, of course, it's been awhile....

Yikes! Can't believe you got on that Ferris Wheel! At least you were smart enough not to get in the sliding cars of death

Wasn't the Aladdin show great? Probably the best Disney stage production I've seen at any of the parks or cruises. The rumor about it being replaced by Toy Story was going on when we went and that was 4 years ago, hopefully that is one rumor that won't hold true

LOVE the pictures from the Disneyland Hotel! That headboard was amazing!

Finally, cruise question - how did you like the Hilton in Nassau? Our cruise is stopping there and we are still trying to decide exactly what we want to do, leaning towards getting day passes for the Sheraton/Wyndham though. It is only $25 per person and you can use both properties, the beach looks really nice too.

I just read the first two posts and I love it! I can't wait to find the time to read more!

 

[LookinUp]

Well, falling behind turned out not to be so behind here! Anyway, I wanted to pop in mostly to say thanks for all your insight on DL & DCA for newbie visitors. In a few days, SIL is off to "Cars Land" as her 3 little boys refer to the parks. They will have an amazing trip, thanks in part to tips gleaned from you here.

Hope all is well in Brook Land. Can't wait for more on DLR, the cruise, & the apartment hunt/move/new apt.

 

[jenseib]

I wanted to pop in and say I talk to Brook pretty much daily and they think they have their apartment search narrowed down and are packing right now. she has been extremely busy, but hopefully in a few weeks life will settle down for her.

Just a few quick replies from over a month ago while I finish my coffee before getting ready for church! As many of know, we had a REALLY BUSY June with the cruise, then apartment hunting and moving (oy!). Life is finally getting back to normal with only a handful of boxes left to unpack. I have so many pictures to share with you of our new place, our amazing 4th of July and more! Plus, more Disneyland OF COURSE! Stay tuned. I hope to update a lot this coming week now that I feel caught up (pretty much) with my subscribed threads. We had a MAGICal time on the cruise and cannot wait to get back on the ship. Matter of a fact Joe said I could hop on a 5-night to Canada this fall if the price was right! We'll see how that pans out.

Okay, I have seriously been slacking!! So sorry. What was I thinking?!?

I have serious reading to catch up on....be right back!

I hope you enjoyed it! More to come soon, I promise!!!!

Have fun Brook! With you pretty pink toes!!!!!

They were pretty! Now they need help....

Have a BLAST !!!!!!

We had an AWESOME time on the cruise!!!

Safe and magical travels! You will be hooked on DCL!

You are very, very CORRECT! We can't wait to go again!!!

Enjoy your cruise!

Thank you!!!

Try to have fun!

We had a very successful attempt.

Have a great time Brook! Cant wait to read all about it

I can't wait to share it all! BUT, I have to get through this first! I need to really pick it up!

I am behind as usual!!!

Have a great time on the cruise!!!

Oh no worries, I'm always behind!

Hey Brook! I knew through FB you had done a DL trip but in my time away from the Dis in the last year, I hadn't gotten to see any of your TR so I am very excited to be hopping in - even so late

Glad your cross country trip went as smoothly as possible! I loved the sneak peek at the Grand Californian, it's my dream stay!! Maybe someday I'll get there if I can convince hubby...he has NO desire to ever go to the LA area.
