From WDW to DL With Love - January 06, 2011 part 2

[Poohbug]

I would love to add on a DisneyLand package. I have not been in CA for 19 years and have never been to DL.

Were past DL packages good deals? Did they include transfers(port/DL-DL/airport)? I am thinking of two-three days for DL-is that enough time?

I am nursing a bad achilles tendon too. See if you can find a physiotherapist that does "active release therapy". Hurts like mad but worked like a charm on me last time!

Now I will sound off on badly behaved children and adults only areas...

My children are good. I have not given them any other option. They are children though and should not be in adult areas. The only reason I can see them in an adult area would be to slink nervously in, quietly ask me a question, and slink nervously out. I think that is OK. My son especially is a stickler for the rules!!!

I was almost in the "make a wish kid" position a few months ago. Here are my unsolicited thoughts...If you have are a make a wish family, what are you doing in the adults only area of the ship anyway?!?!?!?! You should be enjoying watching your kid be a kid in a designated kids area. Your time might be limited and a Disney Cruise is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy your children, especially in that kind of unfortunate situation.

Thanks, last physio I paid for was rubbish, nhs one was brilliant except the wait list, so I am going to wait for her again.
I never thought about what you just said,and its true.

Just wanted to say hi all. Back to work today and then off the next two days. I hope I am working flights at a gate by a TV so I can watch my Lakers destroy the Suns. If not I can allwas keep up/listen to the game on my iPhone.

Hi everyone!

Just home from our 2 days at Disneyland and stay at the hotel. We were lucky enough to stay in the updated tower (Dream Tower) and then they upgraded us to a 1 bedroom suite - no idea why I guess it was just some pixie dust!

It was really nice..if anyone wants to see pictures - I took a bunch. Just let me know.

We had a great time but the parks are definitely getting crowded!

Of course we want pictures! How else can I get my DL fix...I have six months before we take our DGS, nieces and nephew.

Did anyone purchase a Disneyland Package for after the cruise? I have not seen anything on line about it. They did have one when we did the last PC.

We don't have a "Disneyland Package" but we have booked a 1-bedroom villa at Grand Californian for a week. This will be our first trip to CA so we're looking forward to checking out DL and the surrounding area. Hopefully a week will be long enough to get as many sights in as possible.

I would like to see any pictures you would like to offer. I feel like I have no business posting here, but maybe I can still "be" with you all.

Post all you'd like. I was going to say Post Away, but I thought you might take it the wrong way.

I'm hoping and praying some pixie dust and magic will come your way soon.

On the last PC- East bound cruise we did book the package. I forgot what the cost was but it included transfers, hotel and three day passes. Well, the passes did not work out. The first day we got there it was late so we did not go to the parks. The second day we did spent all day at the parks, but the third day we left for the cruise so we could not go to the park. Disney did give us some credit for the unused tickets when they realized there was no way we could use three days. This time, if we do decide to do Disneyland we will go earlier. I am waiting for Southwest to open for Jan.

I am waiting for Southwest to open for Jan.

Well we are almost there. Like I previously posted, on 6/12 (I think that was the date, might need to check a few pages back) we open thru 1/7/11. So I would have to say either in July or Aug. we will be open for after the cruise. As always I will keep you informed. Again to all those who use SWA. Thanks for helping us stay profitable and me not having a fear of a layoff. To those who don't fly us, please don't think I am upset with you, as I am not. You all need to do what is best for you and yours. Have a great day all. I have to do the laundry and have to pick up DW from the airport late tonight around 11 assuming she is on time. She has been in Denver learning what the government is looking for so her company can get a contract with them. Here's hoping.

On Saturday Panama City Beach will have the first new airport since 9/11 complete with South West Airlines! One way to Orlando $75! Round trip to Orlando in Oct for 2 is $340!

Wow -- I can't believe it's been a month since I've been 'on thread'. The last 6 weeks of school for my one & only has been a whirlwind adventure! Only 1 week until '8th Grade Graduation' and the start of summer and we can SO not wait! In the midst of the May Madness, DH decided to do a good deed at church and ended up crashing off 10' ladder -- he has broken/fractured the bone in his heel on his left foot and gashed up both hands & arms from the shattered glass of the artwork! He's completely down & out for the count...when he gets better I'm going to bop him upside his head (thinking heavy duty Gibbs-slap)!!! Giving thanks that it wasn't worse (aka he's not dead) and praying for as quick a recovery as possible. Our favorite moment this past week was our DD's class project featured 'favorite vacation' and she did a year over year over year...over year collage of her in front Cinderella's castle and in-the-porthole-seat with DH -- good times with DCL & WDW, keeping our spirits up!

For all of those in the medical fields -- my appreciation & thanks! You are truly blessed with a gift!!

Love the Gibbs slap! Wishing him a speedy recovery.

My DH has done a few of these too so I can totally understand.

 

[JenKatt]

Ok, I'll bite... what's a Gibbs-slap?

Hi JenKatt! "Gibbs" is a character on CBS show NCIS, played by the dreamy Mark Harmon! His character regularly slaps the minion characters on the back of the head when they say or do something completely dumb. In the case of my DH, he was alone when he decided to climb the ladder and hang the 50 lb artwork 10 feet up the wall. silly, silly guy had watching over him!

Bet he won't be doing that again!

Just popping in to say Hi. Still keeping up on the thread, but not posting much. Life is busy, especially with the end of school near.

DS birthday is tomorrow, and we are heading up to San Francisco tonight to see a production of Peter Pan. Looks fantastic. It had great reviews from its run in London. We (myself DD & DS) will spend a couple of nights in the city and then meet up with DH at SFO who is arriving back from Japan on Saturday morning.

Weather looks cool (and I mean the Brrrr! kind of cool) so we will need to wrap up warm.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
