marlana323 · Mar 14, 2011

23 Days until we leave! Can't wait! :cool1:

Halloweenqueen · Mar 14, 2011

Okay April group...how about some Q and A to pass the time?!

What are you most looking forward to during your trip?

Is there an attraction that you haven't experienced before and want to see/ride in April?

What food item are you craving the most?

Me?

Staying at GCH for the first time!

I've never seen Mr. Lincoln. It's on my April list!

Polynesian chicken skewer at Bengal BBQ.

marlana323 · Mar 14, 2011

Since its our first time so many things but I can't wait to see my kids faces when we get there.

I'm looking forward to riding Soarin'

Someone mentioned the Pacific Wharf bread bowls and they sound amazing and I want to sit at the Carnation Cafe on Main St.

:banana:

marlana323 · Mar 14, 2011

My DH really wants to see Mr. Lincoln so that is on our list too.

Happy Birthday Cat · Mar 14, 2011

1. This is our second trip to the DLR and first without kids in tow.

2. We love Mr. Toad and can't wait to ride again. Still can't believe WDW did away with it.

3. We are looking forward to dining at Napa Rose (see #1 above). Made our reservation on the first day we could.

HBC

LuLusApple · Mar 14, 2011

Woohoo we are arriving 4/13 for 6 days 5 nights and staying at the Carousel. I am so excited, we have not stayed there in a couple years. We are pretty much HoJo addicts :goodvibes

I can't wait :banana:

djk · Mar 14, 2011

Great idea!

1. Seeing the Disney experience through my children's eyes for the first time!

2. I'd love to work a showing of Aladdin into our schedule

3. Ice cream in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone from Gibson Girl

Belle Ella · Mar 14, 2011

Oh, you absolutely should! I love the Aladdin show. It's amazing.

babyruth · Mar 15, 2011

I am most looking forward to the heat and the sunshine!

I have never been on the Matterhorn!

What food item? I can't pick just one! I am really looking forward to brunch at Goofy's with Mickey waffles. I'm sure a waffle in a Mickey shape will taste better than a regular waffle :thumbsup2

. I also really want to try the bread bowls at Pacific Wharf and the Tortillas from the Mission factory.

Belle Ella · Mar 15, 2011

I got you added to the OP!

granismith · Mar 16, 2011

Seeing how it's changed in the last 12 years

California Adventure and WOC

Baked potato soup at CC and Pomme Frittes at CO :cheer2:

lozzypop · Mar 17, 2011

1. Riding on Soarin' first thing and bawling like a baby because I am so happy to be back at DL.

2. World of Colour

3. Toss up between Cafe Orleans gumbo and a Dole Whip.

vacamomma · Mar 17, 2011

Yay! I can't wait! My family and I doing the Southern California Pass. 4/19 Universal Studios, Disneyland 4/20-22 (staying at HoJo's),Sandiego Zoo 4/23, Sea World 4/24 and maybe Legoland on 4/25. I know this is a lot to fit into 1 trip, just hoping I wont need a vacation from my vacation :rotfl:

I'm tired of this cold yucky Utah weather. Cannot wait to be someplace warm :cool2:

preedymtnwest · Mar 18, 2011

Hi! Sorry we're kinda late to the party, but we just got back from a DCL MR and were "stuck" on the DCL forum! We had an awesome time, and I'm envious of those of you who are going soon!

"We" are two different parties - my DSis and her family (The Millers) are driving from Washington state and will be staying at VGC 4/3-4/9 in a 1BR. Preedymtnwest (me and my family) will be flying to San Jose on 4/2, dropping the kids at my cousins while DH and I celebrate our 25th anniversary in Carmel (where we honeymooned). Then we'll drive the coast to Anaheim and arrive at VGC on 4/6 and stay in a 1BR until we fly out on 4/10.

My DSis has made ressies for us at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen on the 6th, Napa Rose (adults only!) on the 7th, and Ariel's for WOC viewing on the 8th.

We were all at DL (with our San Jose cousin and family) February 2010, so we've seen most things recently. However, we only saw previews of WOC from our villas, so I'm looking forward to that, even with the crowds. With a little pixie dust, our balcony this time might give us a view, too!

Matterhorn and F! were both closed last Feb and they are two of my favorites, so I'm looking so forward to doing them this time! And the Mr. Lincoln refurb is wonderful.

Always love the mint juleps (even if they are virgin

) since DL is the only place to get them.

We'd be open to a meet, if it works out! I'll be sporting a laminated LGMH on my lanyard that I received on our cruise.

Two weeks and one day until we leave for CA and two weeks and six days until we're at DL!!!

Have fun, everyone! See ya real soon!

been2marceline · Mar 18, 2011

4/4 to 4/8 at the Villas....

Waffling on WOC because of the crowds...

Looking forward to the Bayou, the Rose and a turkey leg....

babyruth · Mar 18, 2011

ooohh a turkey leg, that is on DH's list!

babyruth · Mar 18, 2011

Did other April trippers notice the new info that POTC4 sneak peek is going to be shown in 3D in Frontierland on weekends early in the month and then every night after the 15th????!!!!

preedymtnwest · Mar 18, 2011

I saw that! Just to clarify, it's a "preview" of POTC4 - the movie doesn't come out until later. I heard there might be character tie-ins, too (alas, probably not the REAL Jack Sparrow).

I think it's supposed to be at "Festival Square" - is that the pavilion behind BTMR where we saw a live Hunchback show in, like, 1996? Or is it the amphitheater close to Toontown?

sabrecmc · Mar 18, 2011

Great questions!

1. Being with my daughter and experiencing the whole thing through her eyes.

2. DD is really looking forward to the Alice in Wonderland ride and Pinnochio, since we don't have those at WDW. She loved the Pinnochio ride at Disneyland Paris.

3. Ahem...while I actually love Disney food, one thing that I love more than the food are the drinks! I don't get to enjoy a adult beverage with most meals, as I am usually driving the Princess around. Nice thing about Disney is that I can walk/stumble back to the hotel...

Halloweenqueen · Mar 18, 2011

I can't wait until Pirates 4! We were on Oahu when they were filming and even saw the Black Pearl!

I would love to see the preview, but a quick google search did not include my dates. I hope this isn't the case.

I bet it's back in the pavilion where Family Fun weekends were held. Just a guess though.

Love adult drinks! This is our first adult trip and I plan to indulge! :banana:
