Only 71 days til my trip! Work was rough today and I am *so ready* for an escape!!!

My husband, our 4 kids and I are going June 24th to 26th. We've been to Disney World, but never Disneyland.

Awesome! What are you most looking forward to at Disneyland?

We will be there June 11-15. I was able to snag a DVC room at the Disneyland Hotel. My family has never been; I was there for a day in 1984.

I have been going to DW since it opened in 1971 so planning a Disneyland trip seems very disorienting.

I think you'll love the Disneyland Hotel, it's not really like anything at WDW, but it has its own historical Disney charm. If you're exploring the hotel, check out the displays they have in the Fantasy tower...lots of cool Disney memorabilia! Also the Frontier Tower has a miniature version of Big Thunder that is pretty awesome. I love the grounds and just relaxing by the pool. It feels so tropical!

If you're an early riser, you'll find you can do so much in the first few hours of the parks at DLR. Since it's more of a locals park, as the day goes on you'll notice the crowds pick up, especially after work hours. And our quick service is actually really good with lots of fresh options.

Well anyway, I'll stop ranting. Let us know if you have any specific questions!

Getting pride tickets was such a breeze! Haven’t seen anyone state it but paint is at 845 and 1045 starting May 16 and I imagine it’ll stay that way. I will probably forego reservations to save money. Lamplight losing the nachos (and them being of lesser quality lately) has pushed me away. There’s plenty of other fun meals to be had.

So far we have:
Saturday, arrival day - Naples Ristorante - Downtown Disney - taking it slow.
Sunday, DLR - Reservations at Cafe Orleans Dinner. Our son also has Savi Lightsaber build that day.
Monday, rest day - no plans/reservations just yet.
Tuesday, DCA - trying to get WoC tickets, but it keeps "Ducking Out" on me. :/ Dang it!
Wednesday, Pride! Night (At DLR) - No reservations at this time.
Thursday, Recovery!!! We're midwesterners so that time difference is gonna hurt!
Friday, DCA - no reservations at this time - also moving hotels to be at airport for a 6:30am flight.
Saturday - back home.

Any suggestions you want to make, I'm all ears! Disney California is a whole new ballgame to us!
