Just stopping in...
Where is the castle? I can't see it!
Weird that the CMs didn't know where you should park. Is it because not a lot of people have cars while staying there?
The Alice ride looks really cool!
I know! It's so strange not being able to really see the castle, isn't it??
I have NO clue why the CMs didn't know where to go...it was a tad irritating. And strange.
It's amazing all that can be done with
Lego's. My DH is passing on his Castle Lego set on to our DS this year for Christmas. It's actually a set my DH was given when we was 6 years old so it's going to be fun to pass it on. Still working on DH to get us to Legoland this year. I'd really love to go again and so would the kids!!
Yeah for being back in
Disneyland!! We love the It's a Small World Holiday!! It's always a must ride almost every day of every trip for my DD. It's her favorite ride to the Matterhorn. Which sadly she can no longer ride due to them increasing the height requirement.
Poor girl still doesn't get why she's not going to get to ride it in 24 short days!!
That is fantastic about the castle Lego set! I'm sure your son will be THRILLED! I hope you can get to Legoland! I think it's worth a trip.... especially with a coupon.
Small World Holiday was AWESOME. As you will soon read, we loved it! I need to get back to Disneyland so I can ride the Matterhorn, that was on my list and I was bummed it was closed!
I love this picture... just look at your expression and that of the kiddos (including Henry) -they are all mellow... but you aren't so much...
That's the way I feel on Splash Mountain...
(even though I do it...)
It's funny when I'm looking through your LL photos... objectively It really is quite a good park... especially for Lego Lovers... if you didn't have Disney to compare it to... It would probably even be a great park...It does look like Henry had an awesome time...
(David loved it 3 years ago)
But all of the Disney Lovers out there... (myself included) are spoiled...
and Disney raises the park really high...
I'm hoping that you took pictures in the CGVilla
... (Did you try for ressies at the 7 month mark? ) I may have missed it earlier but did you hear that the Disneyland Hotel is adding DVCs too? (they must have a higher demand than they're able to meet with the current GC ...
I really think that Disneyland is awesome in its own right... so similar to the Magic Kingdom but different too...
I know, it just figures Henry chooses me - the one who isn't so fond of heights to do that ride! Of course I was being a wee bit dramatic.
And you are exactly right, Legoland is a great park - but when you compare it to Disney, it lacks. It just needs some sprucing up and more immersion...and Mickey shaped food.
I had not heard the Disneyland Hotel was adding villas! Where?! Or, do you just mean they are renting out their hotel rooms for points? That I had heard about - and I would stay there in a minute with my points!
It's funny to see Main St. in DL vs. WDW, I guess it's been too long sine I've been to DL to remember it looking that way. When I think of Main St. now, I think of WDW's Main St.
I love seeing all the pictures of DL, it's been over 10 years since I've been back there and I wish I could find a way to get there again. When you price it out it's almost as expensive as going to WDW! 
So then I find myself planning a trip to WDW instead! I'll have to take a look at it again some time soon to see what I think.
One thing I see in the pictures of DL is all the stands with big lights for some sort of show they must put on at night. I don't like seeing those, I know the park is much smaller so less places to put those sorts of things, but still. Takes away from the magic IMO, it may just be the pictures and when you are there you just don't notice it as much.
I think a lot of people are the same way - they start thinking Disneyland, but seeing the price, they could easily go back to WDW with four parks...and it wins. Disneyland rarely has discounts too.
I don't even know what stands you are referring to.
I need to go back and look at my pictures!
Hello! I just finished your marriage trip report (couldn't comment there!) and I am about to start this one! Absolutely loved reading that report! And thanks to you I am craving a chocolate croissant LOL!
Thanks for sharing!

A chocolate croissant sounds amazing right about now!
So, I have my new computer at work today and I am able to access photobucket and see the pictures. But I can't see yours. Do you use photobucket or someone else? Just curious. Maybe I just didn't wait long enough for them to load, but evening seeing partial pictures here today is awesome. Really curious about your "must do's"
Never mind - figured out that it was smug mug! Oh well, I'll check back later when I'm home!
Yep! Smugmug. Sorry about that! I had so many crazy issues with Photobucket I gave up on it years ago and have been a Smugmug fan. We use it for everything now, it's our online backup storage.
Miniland looks AWESOME.
GCV is wonderful isn't it????
I really am enjoying reliving DL.
Yes it was! I NEED to go back to Disneyland. The pull for WDW is strong, but the pull for DL and
DCL is now stronger. I reallyyyyyy hope I can get back there this year!
Ooh I forgot about the Alice ride! I'm jonesing for Disneyland at the moment big time! Interesting about the parking situation.
Me too!!!! Every time I start writing here again, I ache to be there!!
Oy! I hope it's never that long!
