Disneyland Jan.7-9th

[BellePrincessBelle]

We arrived at LAX on Sat. the 6th and checked into the Staybridge Suites in Anaheim. We had a 2 bedroom suite and were very happy with it. The hotel and suite were clean.

On Sun. 7th we went to Disneyland in the morning and were able to ride a bunch of rides without waiting in lines. We had lunch at the Stage Door Cafe DM,DD#2 & Myself had the chicken strips kids meal, DH had the adult strip meal, and DD#1 and DS shared a mozzerella stick meal. It was very tasty. By 2:00 it started to get crowded and we had reservations for Ariels Grotto for dinner so we went to DCA for the remainder of the day. We had dinner reservations for 5:40 and we arrived a bit early. We were seated at 5:40 and had a very nice meal and the kids enjoyed meeting the 5 princesses.

On Mon 8th we started our day at DCA and rode Soarin' as soon as we arrived with no lines. When we got off of Soarin' I noticed a camera crew filming so we wondered over to see what they were filming and won Dream fast passes and were filmed for a commerical(I hope we end up on the cutting room floor). We rode Screamin', Mulholland Madness, The Sun Wheel, Monster's Inc. The rides in Bug's land, and more that I can't remember right now. As we went past The California movie they were giving away Dream Mouse Ears so we got them as well. We had lunch at Burger Invasion(nothing like spending $50 for McD's) and spent the afternoon in Disneyland. In Disney we used our fast passes to ride Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Buzz Light year and rode Pirates, The Toon Town rides, Winnie the Pooh, Splash Mountain, Casey Jr., and a bunch more.

On Tues. 9th we spent the whole day at Disneyland and enjoyed EE. We rode all of the Fantasyland rides except Peter Pan because it had a line. Were the first group on Small World when it opened. We rode the River Boat, Matterhorn, The Train, The Omnibus, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Pooh Bear and more. We had lunch at Redd Rockets and it was OK.

Not the best trip report but I have jet lag right now.

We flew home on Delta and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. So thats the end of this trip report
Please forgive my typos as I am still very tired.

Wow, what a mess on the Delta thing. If I would have been there as a passenger, I would have helped you. I am glad you had a nice trip at DL though.

We were there on the exact same days, and we have kids very close in age. I posted a trip report below. We admittedly stalked some "Dream CM's", but never got anything but a couple Tinkerbell pins.

How did the dream FP's work? Do you get to FP each ride that offers FP just once?

Sorry about your nightmare with Delta. Hope you are over your jet lag soon!

Thanks Godalejunior.
DangerMouse,
The fast passes didn't offer one for all the fp rides they were screamin, TOT, Soarin, Mulholland Madness, & Grizzley River Run for DCA & Buzz, Big Thunder Mountain, Indy, Splash, Space Mountain & 2 other rides for Disney that I don't remember. You have to snap off a plastic tab for each ride and you can only use each tab once. I would post a pic but it won't let me.

Delta needs customer service training! I hope that the end of your trip didn't undo the rest of the trip. As if anyone would be sick if they could help it...

Nope the end did not ruin the whole trip for us. We choose to only relive the happy parts and let the rest go.
