[Mickey1974]

We are taking our very first trip to DL in February...in fact it's our first trip to California too!

A bit on my background....My husband and I were actually supposed to go to San Diego for my birthday in September. At the last minute we decided to mix in a two day trip to Anaheim. We changed our reservations, rented a car, booked a hotel, we were good to go!...the day of departure came, we were all checked in for our flight, waiting to go and the school called and said our youngest had the flu!!! So we canceled our trip and the airline issued us vouchers for a future flight. My husband and I both decided that it just wasn't meant to be that the two of us should go alone so now we've decided to take our girls and go in Feb. The girls don't know it yet becuz we're waiting to give them the trip as their Christmas presents. We are flying into LAX on Feb. 8 and planning on staying at DL's PP or GC (haven't decided yet...so if you have any input as to which one you prefer, I'll take advice!) Then we're leaving on the 10th and driving to San Diego until the 12th and flying back home from SAN.

I am over the moon for this trip! I've been to WDW 6 times and absolutely love it so I'm thrilled to get to discover DL for the first time. My girls are going to flip out when they find out that we're going....I can hardly contain the secret! My husband is just excited to go somewhere warmer then Minnesota in February....he could care less about Disney (poo - poo...what does he know!). So the trip planning is all mine and I am enjoying every minute of it

oh neat! i bet the kiddos will be sooooooooo happy! ive never stayed on site so i wouldnt have recommendations. i bet you will find a much different feeling at DL than DW. im sure you will fall in love with it!

 

[drinkme]

We'll be there the end of Jan/beginning of Feb. I booked a WDW trip yesterday, but cancelled it and we're now doing Disneyland!

 

[Cora]

Arriving 2/13 til the 20th, staying at the Villas at the Grand Californian. Hope to get into the parks a bit, will mostly be visiting family in So. Cal.

 

[stitch1986]

I am going to DL for my bday!!!! going the 5-8 going to be going alone so I am hoping to have fun alone but we will see

 

[farmgirljen]

My son is almost 9. Last time we went we staye at the Ramada Maingate- this time we will probably try to stay at Desert Inn Suites- We are going to be celebrating my 35th b-day which is actually in december...

 

[bzkds]

I'll be there with my daughter Feb 26- Mar 1. We are coming with her cheerleading team, from San Jose. My son goes to college about 10 miles from DLR, so I'm there a few times a year for a weekend. Anyway, we're being forced to stay at the Anabella again. Last year had a horrible experience staying there, so I'm not excited about that.

We arrive from NorCal at 9pm on the 5th and fly home at 6am on the 8th. You'll have a blast ... dont you worry!

 

[Delilah Bleu]

We will be there 2/5 to 2/7. In the past that weekend has been nice and slow. We will see how it is this time. We are coming from NorCal also. It will be me, my dd (who will be 13 then) and her friend (who will be 14). They both have January birthdays. It's become our annual belated birthday celebration.

 

[akmomesq]

We're going 2/20 through 2/27
FYI - there are new 4th night (and some 3rd night) free specials right now on the Disneyland.com site:

Hi, Cora.

We'll be at VGC from 2/14 to 2/21 (Sunday to Sunday). Any kids with you? I'll be with DH, DS (12) and DS (9), then my DSis will be there with her DH, DD (10) and DS (5). The first three days, we'll be in a Grand Villa with my cousin and his family for a family reunion (42 years in the making - my DSis and I went to DL with them for the first time in 1968). Then 8 of us will move to a 2-bedroom for the rest of the week.

Maybe we'll see you there!

 

[Susie63]

Me too! It will be our first trip to Disney and we (O.K....me) are so excited. Our DD will be 8 and I don't think she has any idea about what it is going to be like. Of course neither do I.
We are staying at the DLH for 8 nights from the 6th to the 14th. We just want to take our time and really just do the vacation thing. I hate being more tired after holidays than before. We have no plan.....just gonna wing it. Too bad will miss Fantasmic and Tom Sawyers island(?). DH was looking forward to a little pirate battlin. Aha!

 

[AmberStar]

We will be in disney from tue 2/9 until thur 2/11. This will be my 3 year olds first disney trip and my son will be 10 months. I purchased a new stroller for the trip and I'm working on packing preparations already (making lists). I want to be sure not to forget anything. On this trip our group will include myself, husband, two children; my mother, brother, and sister; my aunt and uncle; my grandmother. One day my husbands parents will be joining us. We are also going to sea world on 2/12 and universal studios on 2/8.

Curious how the above poster is aware that there will be no fantasmic or tom sawyer?
