I'm a WDW vet heading to DL/DCA next month and I am EXCITED!!!! Last time I was there was 1995 and that was a tense trip (traveled w/32 family members...ahhhhh yikes). I am also a major Walt Disney fan, I drink coffee every morning out of a Walt mug, with a pic of him on Main Street, so I am excited to go to Walt's park! I remember in 1995, I had just been to WDW and was expecting DL to pale in comparison, but I LOVED it!!!! Yes, the castle does not give you that AWE factor like at WDW (which does blow me away every time no matter how many times I see it), but I cannot wait for my DS to ride the Matterhorn and Indy! Yay!!!! Also, my DD and DH took a pic when she was 2 in 1995 by the Walt/Mickey statue, posed like them, and I cannot wait to retake that pic! She is graduating high school 2 days before the trip and I bought her the grad mickey ears to wear!
I am an obsessive planner...we are there 6/7-6/9 at DL and in SoCal 6/5-6/11...seeing Conan 6/7, exploring SoCal on 6/5 and 6/10-6/11; I know grad nites are 6/8 & 6/9, so we are doing Fantasmic 6/7. What else should we do??? We want to see WOC either 6/8 or 6/9.
