A little more about us and our plans
My Grandma - She had a stroke a long time ago and still has some mobility issues from it. She only has the use of one arm, and is slow moving. She can't stand for long periods of time so we will be bringing along her
ECV/scooter with us. This will be her first time to
Disneyland.
My Mom - Loves Disney just as much as I do! Loves going with her grandkids! It was her idea to go to Disneyland again so soon (we had gone in September). She has been about a half dozen times before.
Me - I love Disney, very much. I feel that Disney is safe, clean, family fun! I have been to DL 5 times before.
DS - He will be 5 years old on the 20th, been to DL once before.He is very excited to be going again, he has a countdown chain in his room and everything! He is my wild boy too! He has been on Thunder Mountain, Splash and Space before and LOVED them. He's dissapointed that he cant go on Indy or California Screamin
DD - She will be 17 months on the 18th, been to Disneyland once. She liked the tea cups, fell asleep on IASW and sat nicely on all the Fantasyland rides
She really seems to like the characters too, she would just squeel when she'd see them!
So that is us. DH will be staying home this time, to slave away at work. This will be my first time away from him actually, since we were married 7 years ago!
My mom was the one who originally brought up going on another Disney trip. She wanted to take her mom on a nice trip. They were looking at a
Disney cruise to the Mexican Riviera to start with, but then I found out about a great
Travel Agent deal for Disneyland! I told my mom about it and we agreed that we just couldn't pass it up, and DH gave the go ahead too, so it was settled!
We were just going to get a standard room at the PPH, but then asked about concierge add on. When we heard the price ($40 extra/day for 5 people) he couldn't resist! We are positive that we will get more than our moneys worth from it. We can eat breakfast in the lounge, take drinks and snacks with us into the parks and come back in the evening for a hot appetizer! Not sure if we will be able to eat all of our meals from the lounge, I'm guessing we will want one proper meal each day, either lunch or dinner, but the lounge will certainly cover the rest of our food for the day.
We will be checking in on the 15th and then going into the parks on the 16th, 18th and 19th. On the 17th I have a TA presentation to attend for a couple hours so we decided to take that day as a "down day" to spend in the pool, explore downtown Disney, etc.... and mom will watch the kids while I attend the presentation.
We check out on the 20th and begin our trek back home, hopefully arriving home on the 22nd.
We're hoping to stop in to the Disney Warehouse/Outlet store, probably on the 15th after checking in. I found a 10% discount coupon from the Anaheim visitor center website for there. Hopefully we can find some good deals and get some of our souvenir shopping done right away at a discount.
We are 10 DAYS from leaving and getting pretty excited. Haven't started packing yet, but will probably do that a couple days before we go. We've already done a dry run to see how the scooter and double stroller will fit in the van, and it looks like it will be smooth sailing from that aspect
Well I guess that is it for now. I'll leave you with a couple of photos from our last trip to Disneyland to hold you over!
, so I just don't bring anything across the state line. And sometimes they will stop you and sometimes they won't just depends.
