Hi guys! Just a quick drive by...trying to finish stuff up at work. Can you believe it snowed here today??!! I'm so excited I'm leaving tomorrow!!

And how cool that you get to go to DL Bernice!!

yeppers, plus I have a $50 of code and they offer a $50 gift card mailed after the stay.

I looked at Super 8 on Disneyland Drive, but I'm perplexed as to how you I am to walk from there to the Mickey and Friends trams. I looked at a google map and couldn't figure it out.. unless you walk thru a parking lot??

Also looking at Comfort Inn Maingate, near the convention center (I've walked it before or use ART).

Or stay further out at the Aryes Inn (either one, both look gorgeous!), but need to rely on their scheduled shuttle. (hmph.. don't like that).

Desert Inn and Suites is a tad more, lower cost on their own website .. no coupon deal.

I dont know.. I have driven past there, the super 8... and I dont know how you could walk from there..

And don't think I'm not a bit freaked by the fact that I'm flying into Orlando and completely bypassing WDW!!!!!!!! I was faced with a choice...I left Feb 3rd open so I could maybe, hopefully, probably go to WDW. But then my friend that now lives in FL was diagnosed with breast cancer. So now you can see my dilemma. Go visit her and give her the support and hug that she needs or go to WDW. The adult in me knows that I need to do the right thing...but the kid in me says dump her and go to WDW! I know if I mentioned it she would tell me to go to WDW, heck I have a feeling she would be right there with me...well maybe not. She has a walking disability and needs a wheelchair for long distances. The last time I was there she apparently had a little problem with my wheelchair driving in Epcot.

Anyway, I need to be there for her. We go WAY back...we used to work together up in Bellevue twenty something years ago. She's moved all around the country but we've kept in touch. Now she lives about 2 hours away from my sister (of course the opposite way of WDW).

So maybe I could arrive at her house around 4am, have a cup of coffee and then drive the 3 hours back to WDW and be there in time for opening.

Drat, just checked the schedule and most of the parks close by 7 or 8pm that night.

Woohoo!! I'm so excited for you and your trip!! I can't believe you are leaving already! The time really does fly by quickly. I hope you have a great time and take lots of pics for us! Say hi to Figment for me Figment is my homeboy!

Awww... you are such a sweet friend. I know your friend will be thrilled to see you and that's great that you guys have such a great friendship. I don't know if she will like you surprising her at the crack of dawn but maybe if it's Starbucks she will forgive you! J/k!

Wow, the parks close that early? I never knew that. Hmm..then again DL and DCA close early during the weekdays.

posting so I can find it in the morning

I booked my hotel, I'm all set.

I pondered and stressed about going really cheap or pay a bit more .. hubby gave me a stern look and said I had to go somewhere "nice".. one less thing for him to worry about me.

Awwwww, okey dokey.

I'm going here
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Re...s-Ayres_Hotel_Anaheim-Anaheim_California.html

and using the ART shuttle.

There was a super deal on Expedia for 40% off, plus I had a code for $50 off and will get a $50 gift card in the mail after the trip. Thank you slick deals! After coupon code and the gift card.. it's less than entertainment rate at HoJo's, plus a free real breakfast (eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, toast, cereal, etc. ). If I like it as much as Hojo's, it may become my new DL home.

Awesome!! I saw that, and thought it looked really nice!

I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T SLEEP!! Oh wait, that's the Disney commercial and I'm not going there.

MEGAN, DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!!! I see a 2am post from Megan and think, oh no, she's gone into labor and headed to the hospital. No more 2am postings!! Although I was also thinking, wow! If I was going into labor the last thing I would do would be get online and post.

Nice looking hotel Bernice. When I was there with DH we went on a little road trip and seen lots of very nice looking hotels between Angel Stadium and DL. I thought they were much nicer looking than most of the Good Neighbor hotels.

Hello Hyenas,

-Bernice- Congrats on finding a hotel!

-Alison- have fun on your trip! Take lots of pics! We want a full trip report when you get back!


So our family friend and her daughter arrived at LAX awhile ago. My parents went to pick them up from the airport. Then my older sister is driving down tonight and she and some of my family members will go to Canada for a few days (just for fun). They asked if I wanted to go but I said no and I really need to be at work. I just trained one co-worker on one account I handle, in case I am not in the office.

I plan to take some time off next week so I can take them around to fun places (including DL and DCA where I will once again be reunited with my dole whip float! ).


It's really windy outside but sunny. It's in the low 70's today. I hope you all are having a great day. :

My bad.. I tend to go to sleep around 8 or 9 at night, and Im up around 2 or 3. I hate it.


I cant wait to hear all about your trip!!

 

[staley7580]

huh.... quiet day around here. We went to Walmart today.. Bought some more onsies, and blankets. My bassinet is full of stuff, but I dont feel like I have enough. I ordered my groceries online this evening.. We have NO FOOD in the house. NONE. My freezer has a bag of frozen veggies in it, and that is all. I just cant shop any more!! I was half dead after a 20 minute stroll around Walmart! Shoot. I forgot to order toilet paper.. and we are on our last roll. Good thing I buy the jumbo rolls. I am a total space cadet lately.

 

[staley7580]

I thought they had green.. but NOOOO.. Had to be out of stock. Blue it is. I think Walmart had a ton of colors.
