How would you spend your
Disneyland vacation if $$ was no object?
I'd choose a night (or two!) in the Fairy Tale Suite and a VIP tour guide! You?
Private jet to get everyone there.... "Everyone" includes: me, DH, DD21 and Son-IL, DD20 and Son-IL, DD10, DGS3, DGS2, DGS1, and DA (that's "Dear Auntie") joining us 2-3 days in. We need Auntie there because, well, because she loves Disneyland, and she'd be willing to watch the grandbabies. She's good like that! Half way through, I'd fly in DSis36 and DNiece12 (DD10 would LOVE to show her auntie and cousin all around for a few days!), and maybe BFF and her crew.
Private limos to get us from SNA to DLH. We'd go for some signature suites, of course! I'm thinking the Fairy Tale Suite for DD21 and Son-IL (they have no kids yet, and would likely enjoy that kind of opulence). Too bad money can't buy the Dream Suite for DH, DD10, and I! We'd likely go for Mickey's penthouse (whatever it's called!) for DD20 and her clan. No idea where DA and DSis/DN would be... Suppose we'd do the pirates suite for DA, because DN would be scared of it. LOL.
I'd go for about a week in the parks, maybe 10 days since we'll have additional people with us. I'd do another week for other LA-area attractions.
I'd spend the first day at DL with our whole family doing a VIP tour of whatever strikes our fancy.... Only rule is that it must be done as a whole family. (Exceptions: "Kid-swap" with family while going on rides the DGSs can't go on.) View WOC.
Day 2: Meet up for character breakfast, and Red Wagon corndogs for lunch, and the pasta place on Paradise Pier for dinner. In between meals, individual families go off on their own for whatever sounds fun.
Day 3: Grandma and grandpa (aka DH and I) would take the DGSs for some fun. Bugsland, Fantasy Land dark rides, another character meal, parades. After bedtime, DA can babysit while we do Trader Sam's, then back in to the parks for some thrill-ride fun with just the grown-ups.
Day 4: Maybe a beach day. Dinner at Club 33. Money's no object, so we'd be new members
Day 5: Family day all together again. Focus on shows.
Day 6: VIP tour day again for lots of FP rides. Spend time with DSis/DN or BFF's crew, depending on who we fly in!
Day 7: Girls only/boys only day, other than for meals. Steakhouse 55.
Day 8: Hollywood tourist day. Maybe shopping at The Grove.
Day 9: Universal Studios.
Day 10: Knottsberry Farm.
Day 11: Another day for Grandma/Grandpa/DGSs together. Character meals.
Day 12: VIP tour again. Napa Rose for dinner, maybe.
Day 13: Family day! All family, all the time! Whatever meals sound good at the time!
Day 14: Hitting any rides we must do one last time.
Day 15: Plan the next park... DL Paris maybe!
