Disneyland is a work of love: June 2010 PTR 6/2 p.61 updated itinerary

[kaoden39]

Totally but here is my justification. The first night we won't even unpack and aren't going into the parks. I am looking at it as a means to a neato end. By staying close, we make MM the next morning and have a full Disney day. The last added night I am justifying as we'll be all packed, stay parked at the GCH, cruise over when we are done, grab our vehicle, and jet to the Marriott(?). I am good at packing one bag with overnight stuff and clothes for the next day. This is the last trip we'll get out of these passes and the last of Disneyland til probably 2013. We'll do WDW in december 2011.

Makes total sense when you put it that way.

ridemax.com Not compatable with Macs but the neatest Disneyland touring program ever. I think TGM is the Robin to Ridemax's Batman.

LOVE that comparison Jenny so funny! I used TGM before and was pretty happy with it, lots of good info and planning tips

Hola stranger. I know, lots of planning. I just canceled our reservations for Mesquite on 6/12. I have more confirmations and cancellations then I know what to do with. I am trying to keep it all straight.

How's life?

How's the trip planning? Our trips are around the same time.

I'm basically ready....got which park/which day done, ADRs done, a DISmeet or two in the works. I'd like to do a Photopass share with other PChef people going, but didn't hear anything after I proposed it. Not sure if my wife just didn't check her e-mail or if nobody's really interested or didn't understand what I was talking about.

A DISmeet or two? Who ya meeting? Where are your ADRs? Disneyland is cool but they don't offer nearly offer the dining choices that WDW does.

FauntleroyFan07 (Dan), we're going to meet up at the Yehaa Bob show at POR. Maybe BlueyedGirl (Cherie), we'll both be at Kidani around the same days.

I have ADRs for Sci Fi, Biergarten, Whispering Canyon, Boma, The Wave, and Hoop de Doo.

Sounds fun! I am finally getting me to meet Jordan in June.

I have ADRs for Sci Fi, Biergarten, Whispering Canyon, Boma, The Wave, and Hoop de Doo.

Sounds terrific! I have only been to Boma out of those and loved it. Was supposed to go to Sci-Fi but that was the day Gabby decided to beak at me one too many times so she and I stayed back while the rest went.

I am kind of bummed that there is grad nights while we are there. But, that will give me evening time to do other things like visit Gardenwalk and DTD.

But even though Disneyland closes at 9, you don't have to leave at 9. You can line up for your last ride at 8:59 and they will let you ride. So think 9:30 by the time that is over. Then you have to exit the park and as long as you are walking in the direction to leave, they don't make you sprint. My guess, and this is pure specualtion, is that they want everyone out asap but don't get antsy until 9:45.



How far is Garden Walk?

Garden Walk is about mile from Stovall's. I figure that we can walk down there too.

Awesome. I need to Google it and see what's there.

It looks like it would at least be a fun place to find somewhere to eat.

Do you know some of the choices? I think there is a Cheesecake Factory. I am all about NOT eating anywhere that I can eat locally here. We have a CF about an hour from me but haven't been to it. Been to the one Vegas and AZ.
