It doesn't sound like the SNA airport would be affected, is that correct?

I hope SNA isn't affected, we fly out on the 15th

If you booked through Travelocity then I don't think you can change it. When we booked a hotel through them we were not allowed to change or cancel it.

I use Expedia to book hotels for a volleyball tournaments too far away from us to drive in a day (DD13 plays club ball). Depending on the hotel's reservation policy, I have been able to cancel a reservation just 3 hours before check in.

Thank you for the wonderful travels wishes! I will report back when we get home on EVERYTHING!! Thank you, also, funatdisney for keeping this thread up to date and passing on your wishes! Much appreciated!
Right now this is how I feel: X2!!!!

You are welcome. DIS'ers wait so long for their trips, I think it is the least I can do. I'm just so excited for all of you when you finally get to see Mickey.

Wishing you the best trip ever at the best place ever! Safe travels and say "Hi" to Mickey for me!

I'm so excited I could explode! We leave tomorrow morning and we'll skip the parks the first day and do the DD thing (hence my ticker saying my Disneyland vacation starts in TWO days).

This work day can't possibly go by any slower. UGH! Good thing I started at 4:00 a.m. this morning. I could never survive bankers hours. I don't know how some of you do it.

Safe travels to you too, disneyrand. May your vacation be the best ever, and full of laughter.

Daisybelle and Disneylovers2000 good news! The SNA airport is located too far south of the 405 freeway shutdown. When looking at the map, one doesn't need to take the 405 to get to Disneyland. You shouldn't have a problem when you arrive.

WannaseePooh, Jen&Trenton, joelybelly and SnowWhite09 Leave for their fabulous Disneyland vacations tomorrow.

Wishing you godspeed and a wonderful time at the happiest place on earth. May your vacations be filled with the best Disney memories.

Thank you Liza,

We have been keeping this trip a secret from the kids, and it is killing me
I get to tell them tommorrow though, and it will be worth it.

 

[Jen&Trenton]

Hi funatdisney! Thanks so much for the well wishes. My little bro and sis arrived in California yesterday and cannot wait to get to the parks tomorrow. They are first timers so this is going to be soooo much fun seeing them experience this.

I got my LGMHs ready to go!

Ok, so they aren't really lime green. More like just green. I printed them out and I didn't adjust the printer to print photo quality. Anyway, they all have my screen name on one side and DisBoards on the other. I'm putting the big one on my purse and the small one on the backback (because DH and both DS17s would not carry it if I made it too big. )

PinkBudgie: GREAT job on the Mickey heads! I don't even have mine laminated yet. I'll add that to my growing last minute list.

 

[PinkBudgie]

Mine are "laminated" with mailing tape.

 

[Nintfamily]

Mine are "laminated" with mailing tape.

LOL! Glad to know it isn't just me that did that. I also have a couple that are laminated with clear contact paper

You are just full of good advice!! Looking for the packing tape...

Tomorrow's list of travelers is a long one.

Wishing the safest and best Disney vacations to jackieinJuneau, Kat in WA, luckycharms2010, bethy, PinkBudgie, Daisybelle, benolathe, Cruisin Dave. One more sleep is all that is required for a fantastic time at DLR.

PinkBudgie, awesome LGMHs! Wish I could get to DL just so I can find them and say "Hi" to one of my favorite July travelers!

Have fun everyone.

Just got back yesterday and we had an AMAZING time!

Thanks to Fastpasses and some strategies I picked up here and there on the boards, we either never had any waits or it was less than 10 minutes for every ride. The longest we had was a posted wait time of 55 mins for Indy that really took only 25 mins to get through, and a 30 minute FP return wait for Splash on our last night around 11PM. We rode all of our favorites at least twice and I returned with about 6 FPs that I never used.

Thanks to our "Just Graduated" pins, we were able to skip the entire line for both Star Tours on our first day, and Grizzy River Run on our second, which we rode 3 times with less than 5 minute waits thanks to FPs. Also on our second night, we rode the very last Thunder Mountain train of the night, and it was so much better than riding during the day.

On our way out one day, we were actually given 5 special fast passes by a group that was leaving, the ones you can use on almost any ride. Though there were 7 of us, they still let us go on GRR with them.

WoC is officially my all time favorite Disney show ever, and the dining package at Ariel's was worth every penny. After the show, our entire group agreed that we would have paid our whole package totals just to get the reserved area for WoC (we were right in the middle at the very front).

We met some amazing CMs, and our autograph books are full of their signatures. All in all, probably one of the best trips I've ever had to Disneyland.

Now I have to prepare though, I leave for WDW in about five weeks!

 

[Dostert9]

Have fun everyone leaving today, tomorrow, and the next day We head out the 13th!! My kids can't stand it plus 5 of them have never been on an airplaine before so double thrill!

Have a great trip July DIS'ers leaving tomorrow!! Enjoy the awesome weather you lucky duckies!!
