**April 2025 Check-in Thread**

Who all is going in April? I'll be there April 8-11 for Star Wars Night. Anyone else? What are you wearing? What are you looking forward to the most? As some of you know, my December trip was a bit of a bummer so I am looking for some quality time with my Avengers, playing on Webslingers and TSMM and hopefully getting my DAS back (think positive!). And possibly meeting up with some DL seniors for a meet and greet (or a shake and howdy, if you prefer LOL).

I won't have my Fairy Godmother outfit ready this trip, I am saving it for Fall I think but I have a darling Snow White outfit that I am looking forward to wearing one day. Doing Kylo Ren again for SW night.

How about you all?

I just booked flights for April 23-26. My kids have a late spring break this year. I’m flying into Oakland, driving down the coast and doing college visits with my high school junior (Berkeley, Cal Poly, UC Santa Barbara, UCLA, UC Irvine). Then my husband and 9 yo meet us in Anaheim for 3 nights.

I think we’re going to stay at the Courtyard Theme Park Entrance. I am trying to justify GCH, but $728/night with the discount…

How exciting! My family has attended all the schools that you are visiting. Are you a California resident or are you coming from out of state?

Oh, goodness, that’s such a wide range! We are in rainy Washington (Seattle area) and my son loves the idea of California. He is interested in engineering. My older son is at CU Boulder, so I’m unfortunately familiar work out of state tuition. I’m trying to not take it personally that my kids want to live in other states than me. .

My friends and I will be there April 10-13 for Dapper Day!

I'm a California native who went to UCSB but now lives in Seattle. I loved it (though I graduated over a decade ago, so I know things have changed). If he likes Disneyland, we would sometimes drive down on a Saturday and go park open to close or he might even make friends with people who come from the area and can crash at their house for the weekend. My husband went to Cal Poly SLO and also enjoyed his time there, he majored in aerospace so I think you can guess why we're in Seattle now.
