Disneyland for Seniors

[LKing]

I'm going with my daughter.....we leave next Sunday.
I have been many times, this will be the first time flying instead of driving because of a pinched nerve. It is getting better so hope I can walk around with her for at least most of the day.

Are you back from your trip? How was it?

I'm local so am flexible with respect to a meet up. @DizMe @Pluto468 @Tinkaboo and others. What would be a good time for you guys? @DizMe is approximately a 1 hr flight away. @Pluto468, did you say you were a 2.5 hr flight away? Both of you guys usually stay on site, right? What about you @Tinkaboo? How far away are you?

I'm in CO, 2 hours to LGB. I usually come quarterly-April, June or July, then fall or Christmas. I'll be there Dec. 12 with my longtime BFF.

Las Vegas is less than 4 hour drive, except Sunday or the last day of a holiday weekend when half of SoCal is heading back home

Our upcoming schedule is:
12/9-12 Lights! I need more lights!
1/13-16 My b-day
2/20-22 Anniversary
5/5-8 DW b-day, Star Wars

It was great. Flight was fast. Caught a Taxi. Wandered around DtD until our villa was ready.
Walked to Cheesecake Factory for dinner....and that did me in!!
The next days were tiring but we walked a lot. I'm getting relief from a pinched nerve, so glad I could get around as well as I did, but I was tired about 3. Went back to the room and DD stayed for longer.

Thanks for asking.
DH and I leave for WDW Dec. 1, so hopefully I will do even better then.....but then we always go back early anyway.

I'll be at DLR 12/12-12/16. My sister and I go every year during the holiday season

I will also be going in January for my birthday, and I'll be bringing my grandson as his birthday is also in January and he'll be turning 14. It's not set in stone yet, but we'll probably be going Jan 23-25.

This is all dependent on my mom's health. She's 93 and amazingly sharp but has some issues of concern. Luckily, she has a companion who lives with her and my sister lives relatively close (1 hour). I'm 4-5 hours away and have been going over every so often for a week at a time, but my sister is the one who has really stepped in. We're both kind of holding our breath for our annual sister trip.

I'll be there on Dec 14 and 20. I've been trying to get Dec 13, but it has been "sold out" for MK for quite a while.

Just coming back to this thread to mention that my wife had knee replacement surgery last year and is nearly fully healed. When we go in July 2025 it will have been 1 1/2 years since the surgery. We really appreciate how close everything is there. To change parks its a short distance across the way. We almost always stay at the Grand California so that's handy as well.

'Value for dollar' I think the Grand is overpriced, but the 'short commute' to the Esplanade & the DCA entrance almost makes it worth it. I may have to grit my teeth when I make the reservation, but I still do it.

Yes, it certainly is expensive. We've stayed at the DL Hotel a couple of times when on our own. This trip will be an ABD so that puts us at Grand Californian.
