My DH and I drove to Disneyland from the Seattle area. We have annual passes, but this is our first trip this year. It took us 2 days to get down there, and we really enjoyed our drive. The weather was beautiful, although a bit hot! Our first two days there it was 102 degrees! We had to hit the mall on Sunday to find Air conditioning.
We have been to DL 4 times since the YOAMD started and have never been dreamed. We have seen the dream cast members, but never were able to find them when they were passing things out. We missed getting ears on BTMRR by about 10 minutes this trip! It was our last day there, and we had decided to do the Walk in Walt's footsteps tour. We were on our way back to the tour center when I spotted two passes sitting on a park bench near the train station. There were no people around so I picked them up. I took them to city hall and told the girl that I found them on a bench and wanted to make sure that no one had lost them. She left for a few minutes, came back with a different cast member, and said that since I turned them in, they wanted us to also have two passes for the night! I was SO excited! They were the extra hour in the park passes. That is my ultimate dream, to be in Disneyland after closing, so I was so excited! They had us all go to Thunder Mt. Ranch at closing, and had a DJ playing music, and had us play games. At 8:30 they let us loose in the park. We rode Space Mt, Thunder Mt, and Splash Mt. with no lines! Then we just took a while to walk around the park and take it all in. There were really very few people there and it felt like we had the entire park to ourselves! It was so wonderful, it really was a dream come true for me. Of course I wish that it had been a little longer than one hour, it's hard to do much in that amount of time if you are crossing the park to ride different rides, but it was still something very special!
Just wanted to share. I know there are a few others that were dreamed that night as well (5/1).
Our hotel was great, we always stay at the Sheraon Park. We take the Anaheim Resort Transit and it's very convienent.
This was a fantastic trip for us, it's always so hard to leave!

and we are planning on driving down the end of July/begining of Aug...we have a minivan so our gas mileage will probably be about the same...but I do know that it will be chaeper than the 4 of us flying...we are also going to stop in Yosemite and stay 2 nights and do a horseback riding trip...nice to know the weather is nice, sure it will be scorching when we drive...again that is AWESOME!
