DL to WDW and back again!

[AngieBelle]

It's a funny thing....

I was born in Southern CA and grew up going to Disneyland. When I was 10, we moved all the way to TN. After college, I moved to Florida to work at WDW where I had done their college program. I spent over 8 years as a WDW CM until I got married this past November and my new husband, a software engineer, got a job in Silicon Valley- so you guessed it- I'm back in CA! Only this time, I'm about 6 hrs north of a Disney park...

Oh, the Disney withdrawal!

Thankfully, I still have family in LA.

I haven't made it back to DL yet since moving here. I'm thinking October- my birthday is on the 20th, and I've spent the last several birthdays at one of the Florida parks. I'd really like to try the west coast equivalent to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party that I used to go to every year, although I don't think one of those will fall on my actual birthday since it's going to be on a Saturday.

You know, even though I spend so many years at WDW...I have to say that my heart has always belonged to DL. There's just something special about the original- the only Disney theme park that one can state Walt was there.

Angiebelle!

So nice to see you & welcome back to California

Disneyland is beautiful in October, so if you can come and do one of the parties, do it. The fireworks show is different than the one in WDW, and I know you'll like it.

Hi!

I've never been to DL in October, but I love WDW that time of year.

I've been to DL a couple times over the past few years (most recently last summer), but I haven't managed to catch their fireworks show yet. I keep going there with people not interested in seeing them! Actually, wait, last year we didn't see them because we only had one day for both parks, and I opted for World of Color. It was too hard to coordinate both.
