    Well, it's almost here. We leave on Friday! That's just 2 DAYS AWAY!!! Ok, I'm a bit excited. I haven't written anything lately because we've been so busy cleaning the house and working with a little bit of packing thrown in there for good measure. The deal was that the house had to be...

    Comfort inn maingate/stanford inn and suites

    We stayed last year while it was still comfort inn. It wasn't bad and actually pretty good for a budget motel. We weren't looking for anything fancy. The walk to DL in the morning was ok, a bit long but we took ART back. The fridge really came in handy.

    Magical Disney Character Interactions

    We had a couple last year. Of course we got the anniversary interactions from our buttons but the best ones involved my sister. The first was with Chip & Dale on Main Street. We were in line to meet them just watching the people in front of us. Well, the young woman that was taking...

    4 Adults, 2 (Maybe 3) Birthdays, 1 Anniversary...NO KIDS!!! August 17-24, 2013

    Goodness! I am so excited but it's being tempered with the fact that we have to get our entire house clean in the next week and a half. This means laundry, full-out cleaning of different rooms, including some carpet cleaning which we started yesterday. Basically time consuming stuff in...

    It's Aug 1st!

    We'll be there the same time. We are leaving 2 weeks from tonight. We plan on driving at night, making stops here and there, and then getting into Cali on Saturday. We then have a full week to just do whatever we feel like.

    Well, now it's about 2 weeks out before we leave (off by a day or 2 but close enough). Now I just have to keep my head in the game here at home instead of dreaming it away for the trip. It's been tough with all of the different issues going on at work. Not to mention working 2 jobs and just...

    October stay

    We went last October and it had been 16 years since I had been so it felt like a completely new experience. We also had 3 day hoppers and did MHP. I felt we had enough time and it would have been even better if we hadn't gotten stuck in tomorrowland for 6 hours with the family with no real...

    Hotel's close to DL?

    We chose Fairfield Inn because it's so close. We got a 2 Queen room and they have sofa sleepers in all rooms (not that we need it). I'm excited as it is 4 hotels from the crosswalk to DL.

    official list of Disneyland refurbs : 11/18 version

    It took a bit but I figured out that Matterhorn WILL be open on our last day. I think SR is in order to be able to hit both sides.

    official list of Disneyland refurbs : 11/18 version

    It's closed the same dates we're there TOO!!! I'm so bummed as we were not planning any weekend days at Disney to try and avoid some crowds. Yeah, not what I wanted to see. I got to ride it once last year. May have to go on Sunday and have 2 weekdays off during our trip.

    Done That!

    It's not so secret but go to the Halloween Party and get all decked out in costume. Totally worth it. If you do go, make sure and take a LARGE bag for candy. You get TONS! Oh and the penny machines. Collect the pressed pennies. I'm picking up a book this trip and will try and get the...

    4 Adults, 2 (Maybe 3) Birthdays, 1 Anniversary...NO KIDS!!! August 17-24, 2013

    For now all the planing we are doing is getting through the workdays and regular life. There is enough going on there that it's driving us a bit crazy. I have to make sure I'm all caught up at my job before I leave so that nothing gets left behind. That will be interesting. Within the next...

    Well, so far no one has commented but I'll keep going if only to have a history for myself. Today was a great day. All because I received the fun little documents in the mail today. So now we get to the hurry up and wait. I know it's getting here but there really is a lot to do...

    large group....any helpful suggestions....

    Don't feel as if you have to stay together every single moment. If someone feels the need to branch off for a bit just make a time to meet later with the caveat that it may be slightly off if you're on a ride or in a show. Even if you're a close group, there will be differing opinions on what...

    Please tell me your favorite Character dining experience and why!

    I've only done 1 as I hadn't been to DL in 16 YEARS! Well, I made sure we went to Surf's Up! as it was my birthday and I HAD to see Stitch. He's my favorite. Well, we were seated near the front where they do the dancing with the kids and the pictures. During a lull in the crowd, a slow song...

    Show Me a Picture of...

    This is probably the only time I will get to stay on property. This lobby deserved the sepia tones. Show me a picture of a "long-lost friend (character)"

    Well, that's it. We are now down to just less than a month from when we leave. Hotel & tickets are paid for, Photopass+ is ordered, and now we just have to wait. It's been a very long few months and we are really in need of this trip. I'm looking forward to being able to just go wherever we...
