Kathy, where in central NJ are you? I'm a Burlington County transplant.

I can help with the road trip to in-&-out. Just because I have some experience with this. (just saying)
99 days WhoHoo!

I was born and raised in New Brunswick. I still live in Middlesex Cty.

Ummm. Katherine? What ARE you saying here?

For those of you going to Universal, there is an In & Out across from Universal. (according to the In & Out Burger Location list on the website) This is also near Disney Studios. Do you think ABD could put In & Out on the itinerary list?

Kevin has said they are planning a few surprises for us.

Klam,

I was so not happy to hear about Fantasmic! Since it's a different show then the one in DW I really wanted to see it. Oh well that just means I need to go back.

Thanks for the heads up on the amount of days needed. It sounds like we will have enough time but just in case I have the morning before we head to SanFran for Disneyland just in case. Miguel has an issue with his legs so I want to make sure that we see everything but not in such a rush that it makes him uncomfortable.

I was thinking about the VIP tour at Universal as well. What made you pick it over a regular ticket? I can spend one day at Universal so would like to make sure we see as much as we can (we are also PRESSED PENNY junkies so we have to add that into our day as well.

Thanks for the note and I'm looking forward to meeting you (and everyone else for that matter) come April!

Last year Pete did a great review of the US VIP tour so I thought I'd check it out. However, we just spent so many days over the Christmas holidays it US Orlando (our first visit to US) that I steered DH to DTD on our last day before our flight home. Lauren's was the first mention I'd heard of HP being at WB so I'd be up for checking that out instead too. I'll prolly do one studio tour only...either one is fine...just go with the flow. the rollercoasters at US Orlando tho.

I toured the parks in March like Animal riding a punctured balloon AND the parks were open til midnite so it's good that you and Miguel will have time to do it at a more reasonable pace. I never checked your names but I see now that I'll remember you at first as the "M&Ms" Until you garner yourselves a new title

The closest In-n-Out Burger to Disneyland is at 600 S. Brookhurst St. Sally and I went there in September. It's about a 3 mile walk from the Grand Californian (or in our case a $20.00 cab ride).

I went to the one on South Harbor...prolly a bit further but a one-bus shot up the road for $2...and there happens to be a Disney outlet nearby too

Got this link from a post on the boards. If you're not about this trip yet, try out this game: how many DLR attractions can you name

road trip!!!!!!

Sounds like a plan!

That's $20 each way. Still cheaper than Pete's down under trip to the Golden Arch Supper Club.

Our son-in-law lived in California most of his life. He told us that we just HAD to eat at an In-n-Out while we were there. So, we did. After our lunch we called him and told him about the 2 cab fares, the cost of the meal and how much we enjoyed spending his wife's inheritance.

Maybe one of the locals that has a pickup can toss you all in the back for a quick drive up Harbor Blvd, all for the cost of....say...a Double Double???

I'd spot you a Double Double anytime Tom!

With onions and mustard & ketchup instead (of spread).

 

[aspen37]

All this talk about Double Doubles is making me hungry! I now want a Double Double with grilled onions, french fries, and a vanilla shake.
It's a good thing for me that lunch is in ten minutes.

 

[stenogoddess]

Hey there Kevin!

Just wanted to make sure you got my emails about adding the two days before the trip?? Just wanted to touch base.

Thanks!
Lauren

What about the fries????? Anyone?????

 

[macman752]

I'll get the fries and throw in the In-n-Out coloring book!

Will we be doing the drive through or dining in?

Just back from a quick New Years trip to WDW...now we can concentrate on ABD. BTW....would have been nice if Orlando turned up the heat a little bit....BRRRRR!!

 

[katscradle]

Ummm. Katherine? What ARE you saying here?

John and I are experts when it comes to road trips. We will get to the in & out burger place, no problem.

Katherine,

How did it feel to finally arrive home after being at WDW for so long?
