so that means a change in plans. We still plan on staying the 20-26 of June (2011) in Anaheim, but we're going to take the train down and then fly back. This is what Justin originally wanted to do anyway.

Notes on roadtrip out and now I get to find out about train trips

Oh, a train ride!! Now that sounds like fun!!

I told Justin about switching back to the train and we watched some videos on YouTube of the sleeper cars on the train. He's very excited that we will be riding a train just like the Harry potter train. We'll see if he's still happy after 35+ hours on the train! I'm not sure that I want to be on the train twice in one week, so we will be flying home at the end of our trip. Reworking the calendar, but the train and the flight home have made it from being written in pencil to ink!

That sounds like so much fun, you'll have to change the title of your Trip report though to something like "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"

Although Im not sure if you're renting a car when you get to anaheim

I just like the movie

You're right I do need to change it. I don't think we're going to rent a car. I live near Seattle so taking public transportation doesn't bother me. Besides I really don't want to drive in LA if I don't have to!

So here's the plan

June 17 take the train from Seattle arrive around 9pm (if all goes well) on June 18.
Grab a cab to maybe the hilton by universal.
June 19- universal
June 20- trolley tour (star something or other, I can't remember the name right now)
June 20- evening take red line(?) to Anaheim taxi to dolphin cove.
June 21-25 5 day park hopper for dl/dca
June 22 or 23 medieval times
and I'm going to order groceries fro
vons so I don't have to go shopping and can get only what I truly need, not everything in sight!! I think I'm one of the few people that actually like grocery shopping, I could spend hours there

Once I start buying tickets and such I'll keep a tally so anyone that's interested can see how much we spend. I'm estimating $2000 - $2500 for everything. We'll see how close I come.

I really wish I could do more smiley faces than that from the phone app

Love the new title!!

I think you're plan is great!! And I totally get you on grocery shopping. We're driving down and I think my hubby is going to have to drag me out of Target
