Pepper - I was watching the show Bizzare Foods on Food Network last night as it was the episode where they went to Denver. And then they visited a place in Severance to try out Rocky Mountain Oysters and I was like, "Hey - I know someone that lives there!!" lol
 
Sign me up!

we will be at the HoJo 5/22-5/26

and then were gonna hop over to the Fairfield Inn 5/26-6/3

getting 5-day hoppers, annual pass for Knott's and a 2-day ticket for universal studios :)

I'll be down in June and staying at the Disneyland Hotel! 6/6-6/11.

This is my first June trip and am super excited about the weather. I usually go during winter so it will be wonderful to see the park NOT dressed up for Christmas.

Hello,

We'll be staying at Hojo April 30- May 4.
It's our first trip (I've been to WDW) but DH and DS 3,5 haven't been anywhere Disney ever, so we're pretty excited. Our biggest concern is whether to go back to the hotel for a break/nap/lunch mid-day and for how
long. We want to see everything but not have any meltdowns!

Seems like I'm jumping over to may from April! We have a wedding in San Diego the first weekend in May. We were originally planning on going to Disney the week before the wedding but we got my husbands work schedule mixed up and he won't be off that week. Instead we're going to do Disney May 5-11, HOJO. This will be our first trip to DL, dh, ds, dd and our babysitter's first trip to anything Disney (I went to WDW as a kid) I'm so excited!

Just got my tax return done, got my time off approved, and I'm officially going June 21-29! Staying at The Tropicanna from 6/21-6/26 and at DPPH from the 6/26-6/29. :cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1:

Want to join but not sure where we will be staying yet. We where suppose to go in March but DD just tore her ACL and will need repaired so will be doing that for Springbreak(March 7th) instead :eek: Thank goodness we are flying Southwest and able to change flights without fees and was cheaper so instead of driveing from San Fran we are flying.

Who's going myself, DH, DS(11) and DD(16) both will be having B-day during trip

Trip Plans
San Fran 1-3
DL 3-6
Family 6-9

We are currently on a waitlist for GCV for a 1BR. I not feeling hopful on that waitlist coming thru. Any suggestions on a place walking distance that has breakfast, clean and the major thing is that it is a suite. Husband is very against all in one room 2 nights in San Fran will be all he can handle.

So excited for this trip:cool1:

We will be at the Hojo Anaheim in the kids suite for 11 nights, beginning of May.

We stayed there last March and loved the suites and the short walk to the parks!

Can't wait!!

:):):)

Welcome to you all! Sorry I'm delayed on getting you added to the master list, but I'm slowly getting caught up!

We booked our hotel room at DLH for May 6-9!!

Updating your record! :cool1:
 
We'll be at the Parks in May, too! I arrive on 5/19 for a work conference and then DH and DS will be joining me on 5/24 for an 8 day vacation. We'll be staying at the Residence Inn Anaheim Resort Area for the first time. We normally stay closer, but I got an awesome Look No Further rate on a two bedroom, two bath suite that we just couldn't turn down.
 
I scored two Mickey t-shirts for my kids at Walmart today. Woot! $5 each. Now I am all set for shirts for the trip in may.
 

Just made a new ticker since we are now leaving on 6/5 instead of 6/6. This past weekend DH and I told the girls that we are leaving a day earlier and staying at the DLH for 1 night. They were so excited about it, ever since they saw pictures of the monorail pool and of the headboard that lights up in the room, they have been wishing we could stay there too, on top of staying at VGC. We were going to wait to tell them until the night before but decided that it would be more fun if they were involved in the planning process (i.e. the dining plans). Besides, there are other smaller surprises that we are keeping from them until it is time :goodvibes.

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love the picture in your signature. That is hilarious and very creative :goodvibes. I should have the PP photographers do the same thing with DH :lmao:. BTW, have a great trip :goodvibes.
 
Just bought a trip package last night through Jet Blue - Kids fly and stay free! Great deal, it seems so now DH, DS, DD and myself get to stay at the GCH for Mother's Day Weekend. :woohoo: Anyone know anything special going on for Mother's day itself? We figure it will be busy that day so we will do an Early Entry morning at Disneyland and then leave after noon-ish for some pool time and hanging out.

I am trying to get my mom to join us so keep your fingers crossed for me. She has not been to DLR in 35 years!!

Can you tell that this turn of events has made it hard to concentrate at work today???;):lmao:
 
We'll be there! June 14-17, location TBD. We're taking our 9 yo nephew for his first visit, 7 yo son, and 4 yo daughter.

That is awesome! :cool1: I'm so jealous, that Jet Blue promo didn't work out for us.
 
Hi everyone!!
I haven't been around much because it has just been crazy around here, but wanted to update our dates. Just booked our flights with the Southwest sale over the weekend, so we are now going 6/19 - 6/25. And...with the savings we got on our air, DH says we can upgrade to concierge at PP!!! So excited! :cheer2:

That is so funny! I live like 5 blocks from that silly place. I've never been there it's quite a dive!
 
By the way Emily, did you change your dates again? It looks like our dates overlap now? We should meet up and do ride together or meet up at the Disney Store before our trip too? I wanted to PM you but I don't see that option here? You can find me on Facebook also, I'm certain I'm the only Pepper Chapman out there.
 
Whoohoo! Finally confirmed! DH, DD, DS, myself and DMIL will be at DLR May 27-31 at the Cortona Inn (oh...that was too many acronyms...)
 
Hello,

long. We want to see everything but not have any meltdowns!

We stayed at the Hojo last year and are returning again this year, it is not that big of a walk to return mid day. We did this several days - went to the parks early, then after lunch when it got busier we left and went for a swim and then returned to the parks again later in the day.

I find doing this is very refreshing as it is a lot of walking.
 
Finally less than a hundred days here! I so want this school year to be over and to be at Disneyland (we leave four days after school lets out!)
 
67 days until we leave....and I'm going crazy! I want to start packing already :rotfl2: I feel like I need to do SOMETHING to prep for this trip....but there is nothing left to do until we get down to the wire now!
 
Just booked!!! :cool1: DH and I will be there June 8-11 and staying at Fairfield Inn.
 
We just booked too! June 22 - 26. We've been spoiled staying onsite, but we've told them that since this is a last minute trip that we have to stay offsite. Their birthday surprise is staying at PPH...yay! :cool1:
 
We are buying APs and planning 3 trips this year. Our second trip is planned for May 24th through 31st. It will be me, hubby, our three girls and my middle dd's best friend.
 
Hello Strangers!!!

I've been out of pocket for awhile as my grandfather passed away last week and I had to travel out of state for the funeral and all the various services. However, since I had some down time away from work I am thrilled to say that our flights are booked, our park passes are purchased, and our one dining reservation is made! My trip is so close, I can't wait!!


I see we have a ton of new members and some trip updates, I'll get the master list updated very shortly!!
