Oh but believe me when I tell you, you may just find you like the overlays better. My daughter Kody hates the normal Haunted Mansion but adores the overlay.

I am sure I won't be disappointed, no matter which way I prefer! I will be in heaven for the 5 days in the parks! Now if I could just book my World of Color package!

I think they still haven't figured out a schedule and they are playing it by ear still.

Aw, OK. You've got me convinced I have to go and find some Disneyland photos from before 2000. Somewhere. Anywhere. I have to. GAH!!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

You should try! It's cool seeing all the older pics of what the parks used to be like. I wish digital cameras existed when I went last time. I want so many more pictures. How is it that Space Mountain is my favourite ride and I don't even have one picture of it??? Or a picture of the Captain EO sign, as we saw that too!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

49 days!!!

My heart just did a little leap when I saw that. 49 days isn't that far off! And to think I started off at around 220!

 

[kaoden39]

Heck it is so much closer. Just around a month and a half now. That is great!!

 

[Sherry E]

Yay! You got moved to the right section on the board!! I was looking earlier today and I didn't think I saw your Pre-TR here, so I'm glad it finally made it over to the DLR side of town!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Yay!!! I didn't realize I got moved already, but that's good to hear!

 

[Belle Ella]

It's finally here!! Now I wont feel like I'm ignoring your TR because I never see it when I'm doing my usual browsing!!!!

 

[kaoden39]

I followed her link and that is how I found it. Good thing I did otherwise I never would have found it where it was hiding.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I am glad you guys found me and that I am in the right spot now!

Only 47 days!!!

Awww, my colors to change my countdown numbers isn't working!

Anyways, I can't believe how quickly things are going now! Everyone was right that it passes fast after 60 days. If I am this excited now, I have a feeling I won't be sleeping much in the last week before we go. I am already having Disneyland dreams. Actually I have been having them for years, but now its quite frequent! Lol.

Also some good news from our landlord. They want us to sign onto another 1 year lease at our place! We were hoping to hear that! For a while they were thinking about selling, and while we'd like to own the place, we just weren't ready. But now we get to stay in it anyways! Also if we'd had to move, it would've been on Oct 1st. We will be enjoying our first day in the parks that day, so it just wouldn't have worked!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Well I did a little more searching and I found a couple more pictures from our trip to Disneyland, tucked inside a book about Disneyland that we had picked up while we were there.

Here we are meeting Mickey. This was the highlight of my whole trip! I found him to be shorter than I expected though.

And here is my whole family (I think the only picture of my whole family from the trip). Garrett is hiding behind the 2 girls in front. Then there's me, and I look like I am about to leap out of the car. Then there is my youngest brother Brandon. And then my Mom and Dad in the back. I had dated cardboard frame it sits in and it says it was taken on our first day there. We waited an hour and a half for that ride!

Here is Garrett and I on a photo booth post card. All I have to say is "ugh"!​

Anyways other than a few bad shots that I chose not to scan, there are all my Disneyland 1996 pictures! It's nice to have them where I can see them more often, finally!

 

[kaoden39]

Aren't electronic pictures much more fun?

Just finished reading all 27 pages! I'm looking forward to reading more of your report. We drove down from Calgary end of June/beginning of July and had a great time. Only difference was we added a stay at the Grand Canyon North Rim. My DD24 loved driving 75mph!!! (120 km/hr)

Thank you for joining! And it's great to see someone else from Calgary did the same drive! I am still a little nervous about it. With 4 drivers, we are going to try and go all the way. 120 km/hr is a pretty good speed! I was worried we were going to have to do 90 the whole way.

 

[kaoden39]

It's getting so close!!!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I know!! Only 40 days!!! That's not far at all!! Six weeks from right now we will be well on our way there. Probably 3/4 of the way at least.

Wow that is a lot closer than it may seem. When you think about how long you have been planning.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Yeah I started planning sometime in Feb, so it has been a long time. Time didn't seem to be going anywhere for a long time, but the last 5 months disappeared.
