I will be there with my husband, step daughter and her three awesome kids from August 30th-Sept. 4th, and then with just my husband after Labor Day weekend for a few extra days till September 9th. Gotta make use of those new Annual Passes!
We are staying at the Howard Johnson for the first part of the trip, and the cheaper Quality Inn for the second half.
I plan to have mandatory chill out in the air conditioned room or pool time every day with the kids, having an early morning and evening schedule at the parks. I think it will be hot hot hot and hopefully a nice long break in the middle of each day will help everyone stay relaxed and happy!
We are also having a Von's grocery delivery so we will be able to feed everyone an affordable lunch during our break. We have always gotten a grocery delivery, mostly for beverages like water and beer and snacks, and I have always taken food home! I try, but when you have a squishy granola bar in your bag, OR a frozen cherry lemonade and Mickey pretzel staring at you from a cart in Fantasyland.... Well... But at least this time we will have kids to share with! But that might just mean a bigger list and more leftovers! One trip we left a half a case of water in the hotel lobby! Does this happen to others? What goes on your grocery list? I always love new ideas, uh, like that microwave popcorn that came back in my suitcase last trip!
We are super excited to see the new fireworks, and I am wondering if my plan of watching from Town Square to be close to the exit will be a good spot, can anyone confirm or deny?
I realize that we are still way off for Disney to post their official refurb schedule for August/September, but as excited planners do , I have Googled for rumored closures and found nothing yet. Except that everyone knows to expect the Haunted Mansion to be down for the installation of it's holiday overlay.
We are also going to finally squeeze in a trip to Universal Studios, a first time adventure for both of us. But we have to go over the Labor Day weekend, and I do not know what to expect as far as crowds in the park or traffic. Any tips?
I am working on several Disneybound jewelry and hair decoration set ups for me and my fellow girls, but not so much outfits. I think the jewelry is the cutest part though! I am wondering if I would get any business on Ebay with grouped themed jewelry based on Disneybounding. What do you think?
Also-
Disneyland is the only place where anyone ever says, "I love your... Shirt, sunglasses, ears, leggings, earrings, etc."!! I love it!! And I should compliment more things I love, spread it around !
Keep sharing your plans for September!!
