7 days and 16 hours to go
I can't believe how quickly that countdown has gone, this tyime next week I would have gone and had my nails done, done online check in and just get our last few bits together before going out for dinner with my mum (I can't believe i won't see her for almost 3 weeks, i don't live at home anymore and haven't done for 3 years but im very close to her and still see her almost everyday so will miss her loads) then once we get back from dinner we will pack up the car and head of to the aiport hotel for the night. I feel like i have quite a bit to do this week which is good as i want to keep busy otherwise it will probably feel like this week is just dragging by.
And my new camera is now sitting at Walmart in Anaheim waiting for me to pick it up
So with a week to go, i guess i'll post our plans....
Part 1...6 nights at the Sheraton Anaheim
Tuesday 1st Sep
We are on the 11.15am Virgin flight from Heathrow to LA (as you have probably read a good few times already by now)
fingerscrossed land around 2.30pm local time and will go straight to Dollar Car rental (obviously after collecting our luggage & getting through immagration) I really hope we are on the road to Anaheim by about 4.30pm
I don't really know what time we'll get to the hotel in Anaheim as i've heard horror stories about the LA rush hour traffic but when we get there and have checked in etc we'll freshen up, unpack and go to the Walmart to collect my nice new camera (fingersrossed it will be there to collect with no problems) and then off to dinner (if we can still keep our eyes open) at Red Robin, i've read good things about the burgers at this place :tounge: and then back tot he hotel where we will no doubt fall on the bed and asleep within minutes
Wednesday 2nd Sep
No doubt up at stupid a clock in the morning with the 8 hour time differance we'll probably have breakfast at Denny's or Mimi's before heading to spend the morning at Lauguna beach, im really looking forward to seeing this place espcially after watching the MTV show so much after spending a few hours there we'll be heading to Newport beach where we may go on a boat trip (ive read they have them) or just check out the Balboa/pier area and of course spend some time soaking up the sun on the beach
I don't have any places in mind for dinner so we'll see what we fancy, i have a bit of a list of places to eat while we are staying in Anaheim so i'm sure we'll pick somewhere from that list and then probably just relax at the hotel in the evening as i'm sure we'll be tired from waking up early and of course we have to be up early for Disneyland the next day
Thursday 3rd Sep
Woohoo one of the days i'm most looking forward to on this trip...we finally get to Disneyland
We'll be hopefully up in time to get to the parks to make use of the Magic morning from 8am-9am and we have breakfast booked at Carnation cafe for 9.30am I can't wait to try those Mickey Waffles, this looks such a cute little place and many people rave about it. Will we stay in the parks till about 1pm before probably heading back to the hotel for a bit of a break and a few hours by the pool before returning about 4pm for the rest of the evening till park closing at 9pm and then we'll probably head to Rainforest cafe for dinner
Friday 4th Sep
After quite along day yesterday we will not be jumping out of bed at the crack of dawn today (we aren't exactly early risers anyway) so we'll have a relaxing morning, maybe just grab some breakfast at the hotel and have a few hours by the pool before heading to Disney's California adventure park around 1pm and we will no doubt stay till closing (even though Darren could be sick of Disney already by now :nonono: but he will no complain, he will put up & shut up cause he loves me and I love Disney ) no plans where to eat dinner at the moment probably somewhere in DTD or along Harbor Blvd
Saturday 5th Sep
Today we'll be spending the day at Santa Monica beach, before we head there we will probably get some breakfast from Mimi's or Denny's and then head straight to Santa Monica and spend the morning & afternoon there before heading back to Anaheim late afternoon/early evening.
We are fans of the Final Destination films and the new one comes out the weekend we go so we plan to go to the cinema at DTD or Gardenwalk to see that this evening and will probably have dinner at Tony Roma's if we go to the cinema in DTD or somehwere in Garden walk if we go the the cinema there
Sunday 6th Sep
Sadly our last day in Anaheim and as its the morning of the Disney half marathon we will just relax at the hotel till thats all over and done, probably spend some hours at the pool and weill head to Disney sometime in the afternoon and split our time between the 2 parks till closing, watch the parades for a final time, the fireworks and pick up the last of our (well mine) Disney goodies before heading back tot he hotel for our last sleep in Anaheim
