Disney Wonder Sept 3-7, 2006

Funny story. I had been bugging to go out to Disneyland for a couple years to see what it was like. You know...compare the two parks? Of course I knew it was a shoe-in for Disney World...but ya gotta experience them both to make the decision! In 04 we were gonna go to WDW for Labor Day Weekend cause Holly's *insider* information said that Labor Day isn't a crowded time. But as luck would have it, a hurricane it. Last minute (literally...it was the night BEFORE we were to leave in the morning) my dad switched us to go out to LA to go to Disneyland!! I was PUMPED! I was all excited to see the castle. When we get there...this is what I see:

They were renovating it for the 50th celebration and had it all covered up. I was a sad little senior. But then for something different last year our summer vacation was to DL instead of WDW so I got to see the castle for real!

Bye Taeja!

Yeah, I have to sit down and do that with my pictures. I already did it with the cruise but haven't done Europe yet.

IT'll be a good surgery recovery task, though.

Our Keys to the Kingdom tour guide told us that DL's Castle is two feet taller than the christmas tree in magic kingdom hehe.

That would be such a bummer!

Bye T!

Question, someone posted on another thread that you have 5 days to put down a deposit on a DCL reseravation. They'll hold it for you for 5 days. Does anyone know if that's true?

DH is from Chicago.

1) I think that's if a TA makes the reservation for you. If you call yourself I THINK you have to pay right then and there!!!

2) sorry

 

[LCTsMom]

Are you going to call on 1/31? Will you be using a TA?

Man that's impossible! DL's castle is the size of my house!

Oh my gosh I cannot tell you how disappointed I was! Give me a couple minutes and I might post a real picture of the castle for you all!

I think it will be extremely hard to get through on 1/31 so maybe 2/1 and i will call myself and switch to my TA when I see they are offering room credit on Disney

okay!
Im currently uploading a video of Rink frolicking in the backyard..

I went to Disney land once for my senior year of high school (the dark ages)and I don't really remember the size of the castle?? Too busy looking for cute guys probably

I'm using Dreams Unlimited again. I liked them and I got a cool "Group Amenity Gift" from them!

It's going to be very interesting, that's for sure! I think the majority of people that will call the first day will be the CA cruisers.

Here's one to give you perspective:

And here it is up close:

And just in case anyone wants to know...I just received word from Holly saying that we are probably going to Disney World in May!

I've been stalkinglmao: ) the repo meet threads and they are all going to be calling at 8:00 on the 31st. There are people who are afraid they will sell out THAT day.

I told her to ask them a couple minutes ago... Hmm...apparently she doesn't know if they said anything. She's a blonde!
