Halloween Time at Disneyland, Oct 16-19. Lots Of Pictures! Trip Report Completed

I'm so freakin' exhausted and brain dead right now. I can't believe I have only 3 more sleeps until I leave. :scared1: I tried packing some more, but it just hasn't been working. I printed out a copy of my hotel reservation and started working on my budget again. Numbers + lack of sleep= no good for me. I found $26 in Starbuck's gift cards around my room, so that will help when I'm on the road. :thumbsup2

I pulled out my messenger bag, which is also known as "the drugstore" or "the Marry Poppins bag." Inside there is anything and everything possible. A sample of what is inside includes:
Band-aids
nail file
hand sanitizer
hair ties
batteries
tissue
Tylenol
migraine medicine
antacid
Advil
pen
stain remover
eye drops
allergy meds
camera
sunblock
lip balm
lotion
Nintendo ds
nail clippers
etc, etc....


Last night I had the most relaxing 10 minutes I've had in the LONGEST time. I will cherish those 10 minutes forever. The house was silent, I put in Nightmare Before Christmas, had some popcorn and hot spiced cider. I'm in lala land just thinking about it. Of course, like all good things, it quickly came to an end.

Tomorrow I have my grandpas funeral. I'm so not looking forward to it for a variety of reasons.
 
Wendy,

I will have you in my thoughts tomorrow.:hug:
 

Thanks girls. It was a tough morning. Now I can focus on celebrating life at Disneyland (in 2 days! :scared1: ).

Exactly. Time to focus on happy carefree things and not stress out.

Are you still so congested or are you feeling better?

I'm still congested, but am doing A LOT better. I only need like 10 tissues to get through the day and the sneezing isn't as frequent anymore. Also, I don't feel like my eyes are swollen shut anymore. :woohoo:
 
OK, time to devote my time to Disneyland planning now!

I printed out the schedules for both the parks and added my own notes to them, like MToTP and the mini meet (I'm one of those people that would remember too late :rolleyes:). If I don't write down on my white board, written it on a Post-It and entered it into my calender on my phone, you can forget it, I'm not showing up, because I've completely forgotten about it. :confused3

I've absolutely fallen in love with "A Musical History of Disneyland". It has everything and it's just so awesome and it makes me happy. I finally got around to creating my Disneyland play list and it is just over 12 hours.

I pulled out some more bags to start packing. I still have a few little things that I have to do before I leave. I can't believe I have only two more days!

I'm so jealous! I hope you take tons of photos.

I'm the same way! Before a Disneyland trip or anything important, I sit in bed before going to sleep with my notebook and write out a schedule starting with "Wake up @ __am" and everything I need to do. Then I add reminders onto my phone with alarms so I don't forget anything.

I am going to be a picture taking maniac! I already cleared off my 1GB SD card and I will have another one on me. I love taking pictures!

I guess it's the great ones that need reminders. :rotfl:
 
I'm SO not looking forward to work tomorrow. The day is just going to drag on and on and on.

I have some more pictures to share! These ones aren't old, but I think they're fun nonetheless.

I'm sure some of you know where that is!

If not, then these ones will probably give it away:

Those were the only pictures I could find of Club 33, but I'm sure there must be more somewhere. I've only been once, but I'll remember it forever!

My heart is pounding! I'm so excited and nervous about my trip!!!
 
So, are you leaving right after work or in the morning? Have you finished packing? Do you take an outfit or dress to have a dress up time or do you go casual all the trip? Do you take a book or are you like me so tired at the end of the day the book will probably just sit there? Do you take an ice chest for you caffeine fix? Or do you stop to buy them? Do you stop at all the rest areas along the way or do you stop at gas stations becasue they are more populated? I guess that is enough questions for right now.:rotfl2:
 
So, are you leaving right after work or in the morning?

I'm thinking of leaving early in the A.M. of Thursday.

Have you finished packing?

Not even kinda-sorta.

Do you take an outfit or dress to have a dress up time or do you go casual all the trip?

I usually like to have at least one dress up outfit, but seeing as I'll be by myself I probably wont bring one.

Do you take a book or are you like me so tired at the end of the day the book will probably just sit there?

Yes, I bring a book. And yes, it does just sit there. :rotfl:

Do you take an ice chest for you caffeine fix?

I was thinking of bringing one this time, I usually don't, so I can keep some snacks in there too to save money.

Or do you stop to buy them?

I'll probably end up doing this too.

Do you stop at all the rest areas along the way or do you stop at gas stations becasue they are more populated?

Gas stations for me. Unless it's a emergency. ;)

I guess that is enough questions for right now.:rotfl2:

Phew! Did I pass the test?

I would leave in the morning too going alone.

Don't feel bad I never am packed until the absolute last moment.

I don't usually dress up. Three kids and fussy Mom at the end of the day there is nothing to dress up for DH and I are usually lazy at the end of the day.

Who really needs a book at Disneyland anyway? But don't be caught without one.

I am all for saving money, there for the ice chest. Not only that unless I have to go to the bathroom I can just visit the gas pump and split. Ya know?

And yes alone I would just do the gas stations too.

Wasn't a test I just figured I would give you something to occupy your mind!:goodvibes

It did occupy my mind and I thank you for that! I stay have 1 whole my hour here at work until I can go home and panic some more trying to pack. I still have to figure out what I'm going to be wearing for MToTP :rotfl:

And I know what you mean about not getting caught without a book. I always have a book with me when I go somewhere.

I don't think I'll survive tomorrow, the excitement is kicking in too early!

Well one thing to occupy your mind is your costume. Come on girl you must have some idea. Do you have a flannel shirt, jeans and a hankerchief? You could do freckles and braids and be Jessie. It would help if you have a cowboy hat too.

I have freckles and jeans! Other then that I'm SOL. I'm gonna go to the Halloween store when I finally get of at work and see what they have. :goodvibes

I almost never bring nice clothes on trips.
I bring a book and a sudoku puzzle book on trips. But other than on the airplane, I never end up looking at them.

I would check out the thrift store it's cheaper. You could get a cheap flannel shirt in the mens department and maybe even a scarf. It would work.

I always carry my books. I even keep one in my van to read if I am waiting somewhere.

I love my Nintendo DS for sudoku. When I'm not driving, I'm playing sudoku!
