[jeaneg]

Yay!! So happy that you got your APs! Can't wait to hear about your adventures in the parks.

 

[gardengirl2790]

Well, I know it's a little late but, CONGRAULATIONS on being AP owners!!
This is very exciting news. I look forward to reading about your in-park and out-of-park exploits.

Loved reading all of your experiences so far, but the suspense for Disneyland was killing me

 

[DLRfan31]

Count me among those who have followed your journey all the way. I've enjoyed this great read about your move to be near the place you love best.

How fun to know we finally get to hear about your first Disney day as locals. Keep it coming!

Oh yay! This is the bit I've been waiting for, so happy you got your APs! Can't wait to read more of your adventures, especially now that they'll involve being in the parks!

Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

Glad that the wait is finally over for you! Hopefully you'll enjoy reading about our experiences in the parks as much as we've enjoyed living them

OK, rhis deserves even a response from the phone! Yay for passes!

I'm sure it will take you a long rime before you get complacent and even then the special new stuff just lures you back in. We will sometimes just gobto have a Monte Cristo at Cafe Orleans, window shop, or real shop and go home. We've been so busy this year we haven't properly used our passes, but I truly hope that changes and we run into you at the park sometime!

Yay, passes!!

We definitely know what you mean about just going for certain little things. Whether it's a dessert or something we're looking to buy, we have based trips to Disneyland off such bizarre reasons for going. Hopefully you can start making it to the parks to use your APs more sometime soon. We would love to meet up with you sometime when you're there!

Oh WOW!!! You got your APs in February! We have more than half a year to catch up on. Excellent.

Congratulations on achieving the dream. I take my Mickey Ear Hat off to you two. Not many people would act on moving all that way just to be close to Disney. Well done.

It's almost a daunting task knowing that I'm still that many months behind when we've been to the parks SO many times over that span. Hopefully I'll be able to fit it all into this TR without falling further behind... I am very excited to share all our stories from the parks, though, as we've had many exciting and interesting adventures.

We felt very accomplished stepping through the gates for the first time just knowing that we had accomplished our dream

Yay ... finally! I share your excitement and can't wait to join you both on the rollercoaster ride that is sure to come!

Just so excited!

So glad that you're so excited to hear about our park adventures! I'm just as excited to share them

I have loved reading about all of your adventures so far and I'm glad you got to explore so much of the surroundings of your new home but I'm so happy for you both that you have got your AP and I can't wait to hear all about being able to visit the Magic whenever you want xx

We were definitely glad to get a feel for our new home too, but nothing was going to beat the excitement we felt about getting our APs. Hopefully you'll enjoy hearing about everything we've been up to in and around the Happiest Place on Earth.

Yay!! So happy that you got your APs! Can't wait to hear about your adventures in the parks.

We were SO HAPPY to finally get them too! Thanks for reading along this far, and I'm excited to tell our stories from inside Disneyland.

Well, I know it's a little late but, CONGRAULATIONS on being AP owners!!
This is very exciting news. I look forward to reading about your in-park and out-of-park exploits.

Thanks! We certainly love being among the Disneyland AP holders. I hope that all of our exploits continue to be entertaining

Loved reading all of your experiences so far, but the suspense for Disneyland was killing me

I'm so glad you've been enjoying reading about everything that led up to our finally entering Disneyland. Glad that your suspense is finally laid to rest!

Count me among those who have followed your journey all the way. I've enjoyed this great read about your move to be near the place you love best.

How fun to know we finally get to hear about your first Disney day as locals. Keep it coming!

Thank you so much for reading all the way up to this point. I hope you keep enjoying hearing about everything we've been up to in Disneyland and DCA. It's continued to always be a wild ride!

 

[PrincessInOz]

*Squeeeeeaaaallllll*

You're in! You're in!

And no less than Pirates! Aaaarrrr. Great first ride, mateys.

 

[RI Disney Star]

YIPEE!!! So glad you are finally enjoying the parks! Can't wait to hear all about your visits.

Tracy's Lady and the Tramp tee is so adorable. Can you tell me where she got it? I'd love to get one for my daughters.

 

[tinkerbells mum]

You just can't beat walking down Main Street USA with the castle in the distance!!

 

[sophies*mom]

Exciting!!

 

[Virgoinab]

Seriously you two are to cute for words.



Yay on your AP's

I am counting down the days until my DH next trip in Sept.

 

[burly]

That is so awesome, we are in! Er I mean YOU two are IN!
Good luck on the job...
Hope your health is better.....

Yeah I feel like WE are in too after following your story from the beginning. I am very excited for you!

We are older and our kids are grown now and we want to spend at least a few months each year snowbirding in the california sun so your journey has been very helpful and interesting to us!

And yes I have wondered too, how are you feeling Taylor? I hope your illness has kept at bay in the past few months.

 

[pixarmom]

Hi Taylor and Tracy!

First, thanks so much for the offer of advice regarding college theatre programs - I am very likely to follow up with you on that at some point. Our older boys are only 13 and 14 but our oldest has been on this path since age 5, so we think his interest is likely to continue. They watched your videos on youtube and are inspired - really funny and your singing voice is excellent. Really hope you'll have the opportunity to perform again at some point.

Actually, one quick question - our 14-year-old's strengths are acting and singing (theatre classes, heavily involved in school and community theatre, private voice lessons, choir, etc.) Any advice on the importance of dance skill? He's taking dance lessons but it doesn't come naturally, so he's a little discouraged in that department. I know he would appreciate any encouragement or advice!

On to your trip report - wonderful!!! I'm so happy for both of you - what a joy! Since I'm a mom, I'll be even happier when I hear that Tracy secured a job and is happy with her work, but I'm guessing that's in an upcoming report that's just around the corner. I love the tradition of Pirates as a first ride in any park - my father (a Pirates enthusiast who BTW introduced me to Minnie at age 2) would be proud!

Also continuing to enjoy reading about your resourcefulness - lots of tips in your report that benefit all of us! Thanks much!

And yes I have wondered too, how are you feeling Taylor? I hope your illness has kept at bay in the past few months.

Wondering the same - please let us know how it's going.

I must have missed where you mention your videos. We would love to check them out. How do I find them?

 

[tdashgirl]

I haven't been on the boards in forever (and a day...) but having a s-l-o-w night at work and decided to peruse ... wow, your TR just sucked me right in! Love, love, love. I'm all caught up and I can't wait to see further adventures with your AP.

 

[AussieMumma]

Yay
Honestly, this is like reading a good book that you just can't put down!

 

[Orbitron]

​

Yeah, you finally made it into the park! I love how cute and excited you both look in this picture! I can't wait to read more about your adventures at Disneyland, my most favorite place in the whole world! Our next trip will be in December and your stories increases our anticipation even more!

 

[laur roo]

This report is obviously going to take a bit of a change from this point out. Hopefully you’ll enjoy reading about our exploits IN Disneyland as much as all the buildup.

Aw man, I didn't want to hear about Disneyland... guess I'll have to stop reading now...

First off, CONGRATS on finally getting those APs (6 months ago, lol)!!! You guys deserve them. And it's pretty cool they can do a payment plan if you live there instead of having to drop all the $$$ at one time. That's probably pretty helpful for you guys and for families with kids that might not be able to drop it all at once. So cool!

And your first trip into the parks looks like a blast! Can't wait to see what hijinks you and Tracy have been up to these past months inside of DLR! More updates please!!! (I mean, when you're not spending time in the parks, providing us with more update goodies for the future)

 

[Pesky]

I'm so glad you all finally got passes! At the same time, I agree that it is fabulous you got to see so much of your new area in the interim.

 

[DLRfan31]

Yay
Honestly, this is like reading a good book that you just can't put down!

I don't spend that much time on the boards but you've got me hooked! lol

I also think your trip reports read like a book.

Have you considered writing a book or an eBook along the lines of a "how to" story of your journey from NY to California? I think you have a lot of us hooked! so maybe there are a lot more out there who would also enjoy reading about your adventures!
