1st trip to DL, 1st Anniversary, 1st time on the coast...COMPLETED!!

[Spartangirl]

Great update, Karen!

DH and I were a little surprised about DL's castle too, when we first saw it. But, it was cute and did have a bit of charm!

We LOVED Buzz at DL! I'm ready to see if you got your revenge! Chris and I were very competitive with each other on that ride too!

I'm excited to see what you thought of Indy............although it was similar to Dinosaur, we thought Indy had the edge.

Loving your visit to Walt's original park......keep it coming!

Thank you so much!! YES BUZZ was GREAT!!! Fun stuff!!! Indy DEFINITELY had more of an edge than Dinosaur!! I loved the ride! I wanted to ride it more than once but we didn't get the chance! Oh well...maybe NEXT TIME, right?!

Loved the update! I went on a trip of my own this weekend. Not to disney of course. We went to Hershey, Pa. It was great fun! I think thats funny what your husband said about sleeping beauty getting the shaft. Lol. Her castle is pretty tiny compared to Cinderella's, but honestly I think Cinderella was kinda a bigger deal so maybe she should get a bigger castle? Can't wait for another update and your totally making me want to make it to Cali someday!

You are a great writer!!!! I am loving the updates. I am getting so excited about our Sept trip. I will definately do a TR.

Great update, Karen! Thanks for posting all the tips too!

 

[MA pigletfan]

Those tips are great! I will certainly be bringing those with me in Oct.

Okay so I have not caught up with the thread yet, but I wanted to post!!
Can't wait to hear about Indi, sorry Indiana Jones, we call it Indi in our household!!

The castle is smaller, wow, but still exciting since its new and its the original.
So on your Buzz Lightyear picture you posted there was a link for a game, I downloaded it for Dh but he hasn't played it yet, so not sure how fun it is. Thanks for the link, even if it was involuntary. Hmm Disney's Jedi mind trick advertising works!! Sorry my DH is having way to much influence over me, first Indi, now Star Wars!!

So I totally meant to ask you this in your last post, do you have a pic of the the inside of the cake, I want to see the layers!! Sorry I'm a sweetsaholic and bakedgoodsaholic!! Like my made up words!!

Gone to play catch up!

Great updates! I can't wait to see DL one day. You and your DH look like your having a lot of fun. I hate it when my contact tears! I have had such a problem with it that I take TWO extra pairs with me on every trip. Talk about paranoid.

See you ALREADY have reasons to go back! Not that it's hard to find reasons to go to Disney!

 

[kitsch]

Lets see...you started your trip report on 4-14 and it's now 5-14. So far you've checked into your hotel, had your anniversary dinner, and written the first part of your first day at Disneyland.

CONGRATS!!! This is the most drawl out trip report ever!!!!

That's OK Karen - take your time! I love your reports and the longer they last - the closer I will be to my trip in December!

I agree! I'd rather you take your time and write when you can, instead of not writing at all! I think the updates are worth the wait!

 

[J Lynn]

Wow, Karen...what a fan base you have . Can't wait for more

 

[tofubeast]

Alright, I am sold. Just caught myself up on your trip report and wanting more. Looks like you two are a fun couple! This is helping me get even more excited for our trip in August.

UPDATE NOW!!!

 

[tinkermell]

Loving this report!!

By the way.......I always offer to take pics of people. You must have hit the wrong people. Most of us Californians claim to be very friendly.

But I must admit, that Southerners are very, very nice. That is why I love it there.....................minus the humidity.

By the way, my DS and DIL are going to New Orleans, the first part of June. I would love to PM you, and ask for some good places to eat and see.

Looking forward to more TR!!!!!!!!

 

[stagemomx3]

Now one of the best parts...........OUR VIEW! No it wasn't a theme park view, but it wasn't of a parking lot, either!!

THE POOL complete with slide!

This picture has almost convinced me to stay at Paradise Pier on our next trip. My kids would love that slide.

Great report so far!
