Disneyland or Bust: A Mother-Daughter Coastal Road Trip

[petals]

great updates. The wallpaper in your hotel room would make me dizzy though

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

I did a corn maze too!!! Of course mine was at night and filled with the undead and creepy clowns.

Aww little Elsa. I bet she was the only one too, lol. And the pumpkin candy holder. I had one just like it for trick or treating... until I discovered pillow cases.

Oh my goodness I want to see a Disney on Ice so bad. It looks like so much fun and a great way to get a little Disney at home.

AHHHH what a cool lobby shot.

Look at that. You met a Disney CM in that bellman and he wasn't even a Disney CM.

I have to admit... I also like saying San Luis Obispo.

That hotel is ADORABLE!!! I can't get over how cute that place is.

Themed rooms. You know, other places could learn from that.

Hey, at work I am known as the "chicken fingers and fries" guy (in addition to "Disney guy" of course), so I'm totally on board with this common selection.

 

[queenbetsey]

Wow great pics again. I have heard about the Madonna inn. Now that I know it is more than just themed rooms think it might be fun to head up there for a day or two. We have kicking around the idea of heading back to Hearst's castle again and think this might be a nice inclusion. Looks like Miss Willow got a visit from the tooth fairy not too long ago. So cute !

 

[KatMark]

Wow...mega updates.

Willow you were a lovely Elsa.

Roni, love the shark shirt!

How sweet of the bellman not to take a tip from you.

The beach looks lovely as does Willow's drink.

Wow...what a hotel! It looks amazing (although that wallpaper would probably make me very dizzy). How fun that all the rooms are differently themed, and the hotel has a lot to offer.

 

[pkondz]

Willow painted our pumpkins.

Do you not carve them?
Or is it because Willow's a bit too young for that?

We went to the corn maze and spent hours trying to find our way out and would never have made it home alive without assistance.

Did it last year, this year the ground was too wet.
Who wants to slog through mud for a few hours????

I finally made the long-awaited shark shirt.

And I see someone was still brave enough to wear it.

Willow was, of course, Elsa for Halloween. Oscar was more interested in her candy.

Of course.
To both statements!

Mickey met Jack Skellington.

Always nice to meet new folks.

Mickey tried to trick-or-treat with the villains, but was offered a poison apple instead.

Luckily, these “ghosts” came out to save the day.

Ummm... Okay?

Everybody went to Hawaii.

Because why wouldn't you???

There was fire on the ice.

Ice melted. The end.

No?

Pluto looked for Santa.

Cute shot.

We slept in until 7:30 today!

Parent!

As I noted above, Embassy Suites offers a complimentary breakfast, which Willow LOVES. (It features eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, made-to-order omelets, pastries, cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc.)

Hello! Of course she loves it!
What's not to love about that food list, right Willow?

So we headed down to the lobby pronto.

You JUMPED?????
Please tell me you at least used a bungee cord or parachute!!

Willow: I sure do [love a breakfast buffet]! It’s yummy!!

I completely agree.

The employee I got on the phone went to find out and called back to let me know that the bellman was having a hard time finding a cart (we could see guests wheeling them all over the hotel, so we knew why he couldn't find one ) and was VERY upset that he wasn't up to our room yet.

While it was really nice that he was apologetic and (AND) refused a tip...
Isn't it odd that the hotel wouldn't keep a cart or two handy behind closed doors somewhere?
You know, so the bellman can do his job?

Today we were heading for San Luis Obispo - a name that Willow enjoyed saying MANY times on this trip!

I've already said it countless times in my head, reading this TR!

Like a sturgeon.
Swimming for the very first time!


What?

No, come on, people! Not THAT Madonna!

Oh.

The Madonna Inn is a family-owned unique establishment.

It looks really amazing! Love the way the buildings sprawl and straddle the road.

Willow: Oh, I loved it! I met some friends, and we swam together. We even pretended we were surfing. Because there weren’t any stairs, just at the deep end, so we would run in and back up.

That sounds like a lot of fun!

And along a pretty path.

Of course it's pretty. Look who's on it!

We headed out to Pismo Beach and arrived at about 2:00PM.

Guess how many times I've said, "Pismo Beach at San Luis Obispo."

Wrong. It's more.

We walked out the long pier and checked out the views from there.

Prettiest view right there.

Willow enjoyed a watermelon Italian soda.

Willow: Yummy! That was so good!

It looks really good, too!

At this point, we decided to head back to our car. Willow had to make a quick detour to swing on a swing.

Well of course.
No swing set should be passed by without testing.

We were so excited to check out our room - the Portugal Room. It did not disappoint! It was huge with two separate sleeping areas and a very nice bathroom. The theming was awesome.

That room looks great! Love the tile work in the shower.

Every time we walked down to the ice machine, it was so tempting to try to peer into the other rooms to see what the décor was like. We refrained from doing so as best we could.

It would not do to end your vacation with a "stalker" or "peeping Tom" label.


Who the heck was peeping Tom anyway?

I enjoyed this spot - reading my book and chatting with my lounge-chair neighbor.

Uh... Sure Roni. Nice that you could chat with your lounge-chair neighbor.

(pssst. Everyone. Don't tell her there's no one there. Just let it go and back away slowly from the TR.)

At some point, Willow and the other swimmers spotted some deer on the hillside behind us. Of course, Willow was absolutely adamant that I must get a picture, so here you go.

Well of course. She's right.
If you didn't take a picture, it never happened.

We opted for the casual Copper Cafe and Coffee Bar.

That place looks great! I love the woods and the upholstery.
You just don't see that anymore.

Willow once again really broke out of the vacation comfort zone and went with chicken tenders and fries. (Seriously, I'm going to start posting pictures and descriptions of our meals at home so that y'all know she doesn't eat this way the rest of the year! )

Oh, don't worry. I believe you.
I'm sure sometimes she has fries and tenders instead of tenders and fries.

And I went for a bunless burger. (Same here - I should be posting my at-home meals for proof that I am not a junk-food addict. )

You're on vacation.
You are legally, morally and ethically required to eat junk food.
I think it's a religious requirement too.

Willow got a HUGE slice of black forest cake to take back to the room.

Atta girl.

Up Next: Day 9A and Disneyland!!!

Thanks for the (multiple) posts!

 

[afwdwfan]

She was Elsa for Halloween? Really? If I had to guess what she was for Halloween, I think that would probably be the last thing I could possibly imagine.

You guys must have had great seats for Disney on Ice. Looks like you're right down there on the ice! I appreciated your cliffs notes version of the show.

I agree with Willow about breakfast buffets. You can't go wrong with them. They are awesome. Show me a good hotel breakfast buffet, and I'll eat enough that I won't need lunch later.

The hotel looks very interesting. I'm glad you had such a good time there checking it out and getting some pool time for Willow!

 

[Curiouser&curiouser!]

How fun!! I want to stay at the Madonna Inn now!

 

[hstrickland]

Hiya

And let me just preface this by saying....YAY for Thanksgiving break!!!! I can catch up on my threads and slowly read every word without feeling rushed Now... on with the comments.


I did chuckle a little when I saw your "life" updates. While creating pumpkins and such, Willow was sporting the Disney attire. A sure sign of a Disney lover Very cute!


Disney on Ice looks like fun. We've thought about taking the kids, but then never do it. Guess I'm gonna need to break down and do it next time they are in Savannah.


Ok....so the Madonna Inn looks FABULOUS!!!! Love it!!! What a quaint little place! The pink umbrellas really make that pool area...well, not to mention the view; that certainly helps, too How did you find these places??? Luck of the draw or did you do major research?


Looking forward to Disneyland!!! You're almost there!!!!

 

[courtneybelle]

Hi Roni!!! Super behind on the DIS because of school/work/dance/life but I'm catching up now!

Looks like you guys are having all kinds of fall fun! Obviously I love the Elsa costume, and Disney on Ice looks great, if not confusing.

The Madonna Inn sounds so unbelievably cool. It would be awesome to stay there a few times and see the different rooms you'd get!

The beach is so gorgeous! And that watermelon soda looks so yummy.

The Portugal Room is beautiful! It looks so spacious too.

HA I would totally be that person peering into other people's rooms to see how they were decorated.

I wish we were in a pool right now too…it's pouring rain here

You're on vacation!!! You have to eat chicken strips! No judgment whatsoever here.

That cake Do you think they'd deliver across the country?

AHHHH DISNEYLAND IS COMING!! I've loved the road trip portion but I'm so excited to hear about Disneyland!

And happy Thanksgiving to you and Willow

Memo in Finding Nemo

Sebastian in The Little Mermaid

Going back to finish reading.

Jill in CO

Wow! 4 more points!

Looks like you guys have been having list of fun this fall.

It's a great time of year leading into the holidays - always so much to do!

I haven't been to SLO in close to 20 years...looks awesome. I want to stay at the Madonna Inn...it looks so fun! Yay for being one day away from Disneyland!

You should! We absolutely loved that place.

holy updates! yay!!!

Seems like if I actually manage to get on here and catch up on everyone else's TRs, the only way I can keep this one moving is to do a lot at once.

ugh--corn mazes! we get lost in them every time!

Oh man - we were AWFUL at finding our way through that thing.

your hotel is so pretty. i love the bathroom! and that chocolate cake looks delicious!

It was a great place to stay!

Holy Mega Update!!!!!!!!!

Seems like the only way I can manage to get anything posted is to drop in and do a big update and then disappear again for ages.

I just love all the photos of your fall activities! So cute

Thanks - it was definitely a fun time of year for us!

We don't have Disney on Ice here, so that was a really nice treat. Thank you for taking so many photos. Funny storyline, though.

The story line was truly bizarre.

Wow! You got to stay at the Madonna Inn. The one hotel I really wanted to stay at during our first trip to the US and the TA refused to book it for us. No, she just would not book THAT hotel.

Wow! Really? What was the reason she wouldn't book it???? We absolutely loved it!

And Pismo Beach! Did you find any sand dollars? My mom and I went there one day in the early morning and there were sand dollars literally everywhere.

We did not - wrong time of day/tide, I think. Too bad - I love sand dollars!

Very brave Miss Willow, wading in the Pacific - it is just so cold.

The child can't resist water!

That is quite the large room! The decor is "different". Not your usual chain hotel. I would LOVE to see for myself.

It was awesome - I loved how over-done every room was. Just a whole lot of fun - probably Willow's favorite place she's ever stayed.

Miss Willow and the pool! I just love how happy she looks (and you must be seeing her like this )

I do indeed - it was a truly amazing vacation filled with so much fun.

Dinner looks very nice and I do completely understand that you eat differently on vacation. You should see what we eat during the year. It is NOTHING like what we have on vacation. But eating the "not so healthy" things is part of being on vacation.

You are totally right - I just can't believe how many times she had chicken strips. It's not usually her first choice even on vacation.

 

[RGirl]

great updates. The wallpaper in your hotel room would make me dizzy though

It really wasn't obtrusive in person.

I did a corn maze too!!! Of course mine was at night and filled with the undead and creepy clowns.

The one here turns scary (I've been told, VERY scary) a week or so before Halloween. Willow was very keen to go to the scary version, but we just couldn't find an evening to give it a try. Honestly, I don't think we ever would have gotten out in dark. Apparently, we are terrible at mazes.

Aww little Elsa. I bet she was the only one too, lol. And the pumpkin candy holder. I had one just like it for trick or treating... until I discovered pillow cases.

I was having a great time playing "Spot Elsa" during the school Halloween festivities.

Oh my goodness I want to see a Disney on Ice so bad. It looks like so much fun and a great way to get a little Disney at home.

They are super-fun. This was our third year in a row - it's become a bit of a tradition. We always go with my mom and then all go out to dinner after. Unfortunately, my mom has been unwell lately and wasn't able to join us this year, so we had a third seat just for our purses.

AHHHH what a cool lobby shot.

Thanks!

Look at that. You met a Disney CM in that bellman and he wasn't even a Disney CM.

So true - he was exactly the kind of person who makes a great Disney CM.

I have to admit... I also like saying San Luis Obispo.

It was right up there with "bungalow" for Miss Willow.

That hotel is ADORABLE!!! I can't get over how cute that place is.

It was such a treat to stay there. Definitely recommend it if you ever decide to do a West Coast of the USA vacation.

Themed rooms. You know, other places could learn from that.

Right????

Hey, at work I am known as the "chicken fingers and fries" guy (in addition to "Disney guy" of course), so I'm totally on board with this common selection.

If Willow was up, she would be thrilled to read this comment.

Wow great pics again. I have heard about the Madonna inn. Now that I know it is more than just themed rooms think it might be fun to head up there for a day or two. We have kicking around the idea of heading back to Hearst's castle again and think this might be a nice inclusion.

I definitely recommend it - Willow LOVED it there.

I regret that we didn't make it to Hearst's Castle - by the next morning though, we were just ready to get to Disneyland!

Looks like Miss Willow got a visit from the tooth fairy not too long ago. So cute !

If I ever get to the last day of this trip, you may read about that there.

Wow...mega updates.

Seems to be the only way I can keep this TR moving - I haven't been able to get on the DIS in such a long time.

Willow you were a lovely Elsa.

Willow would definitely say thank you if she were up.

Roni, love the shark shirt!

Thanks! Willow has requested a matching one for her little cousin as a Christmas present.

How sweet of the bellman not to take a tip from you.

I have never had that happen before!

The beach looks lovely as does Willow's drink.

Both were very nice!

Wow...what a hotel! It looks amazing (although that wallpaper would probably make me very dizzy). How fun that all the rooms are differently themed, and the hotel has a lot to offer.

It was a perfectly wonderful place for us - a ton of fun. And the wallpaper wasn't bad at all in person.

 

[RGirl]

Do you not carve them?
Or is it because Willow's a bit too young for that?

Both - I hate carving pumpkins (it's hard to do and messy), but I will be happy to let Willow do all the pumpkin-carving she wants when she's old enough to wield a big knife.

Honestly, if she cared about it, I would do it. She really likes painting them.

Did it last year, this year the ground was too wet.
Who wants to slog through mud for a few hours????

We were wishing the ground would have been a bit wet. A HUGE dust storm came up while we were lost in there - we were filthy when we got out of there and choking on dust.

And I see someone was still brave enough to wear it.

Of course.
To both statements!

Yeah, neither of those statements was a big surprise, huh?

Because why wouldn't you???

Definitely the strangest Disney on Ice storyline we have ever seen.

Cute shot.

Thanks - it was a truly cute moment in a bizarre story line.

Parent!

Hello! Of course she loves it!
What's not to love about that food list, right Willow?

If she were up, she would be strongly agreeing - the child loves a good breakfast!

While it was really nice that he was apologetic and (AND) refused a tip...
Isn't it odd that the hotel wouldn't keep a cart or two handy behind closed doors somewhere?
You know, so the bellman can do his job?

Yeah, it was a bit strange. It was one of those Embassy Suites moments, though, when the ENTIRE HOTEL checks out at the same time. I'm thinking maybe even the super-secret carts were all being used by other bellmen? I really don't know!

I've already said it countless times in my head, reading this TR!

It's really hard not to - I've said it a few times just responding to comments.

It looks really amazing! Love the way the buildings sprawl and straddle the road.

It was a great place to stay. I think it's probably Willow's favorite hotel to date.

Of course it's pretty. Look who's on it!

Awwww - Willow would love this. I really shouldn't do replies after she goes to bed. Of course, it's taken me weeks to get them as it is, so I think I made the right call to actually get on here and post.

Guess how many times I've said, "Pismo Beach at San Luis Obispo."

Wrong. It's more.

Prettiest view right there.

Well of course.
No swing set should be passed by without testing.

Certainly seems to be true.....

That room looks great! Love the tile work in the shower.

It was a really fun and HUGE room.

It would not do to end your vacation with a "stalker" or "peeping Tom" label.

Who the heck was peeping Tom anyway?

Are you kidding me? You didn't go look it up?????

Uh... Sure Roni. Nice that you could chat with your lounge-chair neighbor.

(pssst. Everyone. Don't tell her there's no one there. Just let it go and back away slowly from the TR.)

I knew someone would make a comment such as this. And I could have won a lot of money if I'd been able to place a bet on who it would be.

That place looks great! I love the woods and the upholstery.
You just don't see that anymore.

I was really impressed with the decor as well. Gosh, what a neat place this was.

You're on vacation.
You are legally, morally and ethically required to eat junk food.
I think it's a religious requirement too.

Phew! I feel much better now!

Atta girl.

Thanks for the (multiple) posts!

Thanks for continuing to read along and comment - I know it's slow-going.

 

[RGirl]

She was Elsa for Halloween? Really? If I had to guess what she was for Halloween, I think that would probably be the last thing I could possibly imagine.

Yeah, she really went out on a creative limb with that one!

You guys must have had great seats for Disney on Ice. Looks like you're right down there on the ice! I appreciated your cliffs notes version of the show.

Yes - we were right on the edge of the ice. We have kind of a tradition of going to Disney on Ice with my mom, and last year, she shelled out for those seats. She decided we could never sit anywhere else after that, so got the same ones this year. Unfortunately, she wasn't well enough to go with us this year, but I'm hoping that we can make that up next year.

I agree with Willow about breakfast buffets. You can't go wrong with them. They are awesome. Show me a good hotel breakfast buffet, and I'll eat enough that I won't need lunch later.

That is definitely Willow's approach too - I'm not sure how much she actually ends up eating, but she sure likes to have some of everything at the table.

The hotel looks very interesting. I'm glad you had such a good time there checking it out and getting some pool time for Willow!

It really was a ton of fun.

How fun!! I want to stay at the Madonna Inn now!

We absolutely loved our stay!

Hiya

Hi Heather!

And let me just preface this by saying....YAY for Thanksgiving break!!!! I can catch up on my threads and slowly read every word without feeling rushed Now... on with the comments.

I had planned to do the same. And now it's Sunday night and I'm just getting on the DIS, trying to catch up on everyone else's reports. Not sure I'll even manage to get an update posted. If I can get caught up on other TRs though, maybe I can get mine updated tomorrow night.

I did chuckle a little when I saw your "life" updates. While creating pumpkins and such, Willow was sporting the Disney attire. A sure sign of a Disney lover Very cute!

I hadn't noticed that! How funny. She doesn't wear Disney stuff quite as often anymore, so it's cute to see her randomly sporting something like that.

Disney on Ice looks like fun. We've thought about taking the kids, but then never do it. Guess I'm gonna need to break down and do it next time they are in Savannah.

It really is a lot of fun. This was our third year in a row.

Ok....so the Madonna Inn looks FABULOUS!!!! Love it!!! What a quaint little place! The pink umbrellas really make that pool area...well, not to mention the view; that certainly helps, too How did you find these places??? Luck of the draw or did you do major research?

It was a great place to stay!

I did a ton of research prior to this trip - I didn't want any horrible surprises as far as hotels go on a road trip of this length.

Looking forward to Disneyland!!! You're almost there!!!!

Thanks! I'm hoping to get us there tonight, but it may not happen until tomorrow.

 

[RGirl]

Hi Roni!!! Super behind on the DIS because of school/work/dance/life but I'm catching up now!

No worries, Courtney. I am having a terrible time getting on here lately too. I hope things calm down for you!

Looks like you guys are having all kinds of fall fun! Obviously I love the Elsa costume, and Disney on Ice looks great, if not confusing.

It has been a very fun Fall.

The Madonna Inn sounds so unbelievably cool. It would be awesome to stay there a few times and see the different rooms you'd get!

Oh, I know! I hope we get to go back one day. Totally fun place to stay!

The beach is so gorgeous! And that watermelon soda looks so yummy.

Willow indicated it was as tasty as it looked.

The Portugal Room is beautiful! It looks so spacious too.

It was ENORMOUS.

HA I would totally be that person peering into other people's rooms to see how they were decorated.

Oh, it was so hard not to just go press our noses against the windows and check everything out.

I wish we were in a pool right now too…it's pouring rain here

It's 13 degrees here with snow on the ground. WAH!!!!

You're on vacation!!! You have to eat chicken strips! No judgment whatsoever here.

It was strange that she got so obsessed with them - I mean, mac and cheese is more her vacation fave usually.

That cake Do you think they'd deliver across the country?

Wouldn't that be nice????

AHHHH DISNEYLAND IS COMING!! I've loved the road trip portion but I'm so excited to hear about Disneyland!

I'm so excited to finally get to it!

And happy Thanksgiving to you and Willow

Thanks Courtney! I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving.

​

Thanks Kathy! I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving - I know times have been awfully hard lately.

"Let's show our new friends where they'll be staying!"​

Day 9A - Saturday, 2 August 2014 - San Luis Obispo, CA to Disneyland Resort

We were up at about 7:30AM today, got showered and loaded up the car. We made a quick stop at the lovely San Luis Obispo Target for some presents for friends we would be seeing today.

​

We managed to hit the road at about 9:00AM.

​

It was another beautiful day.

​

Somehow, we managed to drive straight through today with no stops other than the constant L.A. traffic, which had us at a complete stop on multiple occasions.

​

Despite the traffic, we were pulling up here at 1:20PM.

​

Um….

​

Yeah, we were excited!

​

Yes, DIS friends, we were staying at the Disneyland Hotel yet again - this would be our third stay in three trips! We love it here! We had, however, never DRIVEN here before. But it was all very easy. We pulled up to the front, and a bellman unloaded the car for us and gave us a ticket with an extension to call once we were in our room.

We made our way to the front doors, stopping to admire the Mickey and Minnie statues out front, of course.

​

We headed into the lobby area. It's so pretty in here - LOVE the teacup chairs!

​

We checked in with a nice Earning-My-Ears CM who (as the CMs at the DLH do) went in back and returned with a signed photo of the characters for Willow. Now I know that Willow has gotten one of these on every trip, but she must have never looked at it before. Because she thought this was just grand - all of her friends had made such an effort to welcome her back!

​

Soon we had our room keys and were headed out of the Fantasy Tower and over to the Frontier Tower. Why don't you come along with us?

​

Up Next: Day 9A (cont.)

 

[RGirl]

Day 9A - Saturday, 2 August 2014 - San Luis Obispo, CA to Disneyland Resort (cont.)

On our first trip for Willow's 5th birthday, we were in the Adventure Tower and had gotten upgraded to a view that included the Disneyland fireworks. On our second trip for Willow's 7th birthday, the AP winter special had included an upgrade to a pool-view room in the Fantasy Tower. So this was our first time staying in the Frontier Tower and our first time with a true "standard view" room. When we first arrived to the Frontier Tower, the first thing we noticed was the perfect Frontierland music playing. I kind of wished that the rest of my life had perfectly themed music playing at all times until I realized that, given my profession, it would probably be mostly the theme from Jaws.

The lobby was very Frontier-oriented as well (I got more pics later).

​

We headed up to our floor.

​

And into our room. I did notice that the room was significantly smaller than the Fantasy Tower room that we had had in January, but there was still more than enough room for the two of us. And, of course, we loved all the little details as always - especially the light-up headboard.

​

There was a beautiful print of a picture of Walt coming through the castle in Disneyland. Willow opted for the bed over which the picture looked, saying that she "wanted to sleep by Walt."

​

Willow: Because I wanted to have good dreams, and I really like Walt. He’s a good guy. I wanted to sleep by him because he was Mickey’s pal.

As you can see, we had a SPECTACULAR view of the parking lot.

​

Willow: Boring….

We called down to bell services for our luggage, and quick as can be, the kind bellman was there and had unloaded everything for us.

Up Next: Day 9B

Lotso toy story 3


I want to stay at the DLH! It just loons so magical!

Jill in CO

 

[afwdwfan]

You're killing me here!!!! We were torn between DLH and GCH for our Disneyland trip and we chose GCH. I wish you would have done this update a couple of months ago! I really wish we could do both so we could experience the best of both worlds. DLH just seems to have this magical feeling to it.

And I love Willow's reasoning for wanting to sleep in the bed by Walt's picture!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

DISNEYLAND!!!!! I'm just in love with the old school sign for the hotel.

I only wandered the outside on my one Disneyland trip, so very cool to see the inside. And seriously... TEA CUP CHAIRS????? That is awesome.

"A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes". I'm no thief but if I was staying there that pillow may have found itself in my luggage somehow... accidentally.

Plus that photo of Walt and the castle is one of my favourites.

And that headboard... DYING OVER HERE!!!
