***March 2016 Check In***

[texasgingerbread]

Just noticed that GRR is down Feb 15- Mar 15. I guess we'll be missing that one...AGAIN.

Me too...darn!!!

Awwww...I will keep you on the list for March 1!! Lucky you get one day out of it. I wish I had an annual pass. Memorial Day will be great weather though.

True, I'm happy about the prospect of better weather. Last year the stars aligned for me to get my first ever AP and it will expire mid-March. I don't see getting another one anytime soon. It turned out to be a much more expensive experiment than I thought it would be, that's for sure. It's been a fun ride though!

I can't wait for PCH breakfast! My son LOVES Stitch! We saw him at O'Hana and at the dance party in Tomorrowland when we went to WDW... he loved it!

Ditto...we love Stitch and we loved Ohana. My son brought his Stitch plush to the breakfast and we have the cutest picture of Stitch hugging Stitch with my son. Can't wait for him!! On the flip side, did you see this? Kylo Ren is coming and perfect timing for us!!!! So fabulous! http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...r-star-wars-villain-kylo-ren-at-disney-parks/

I just booked lunch at Café Orleans for my day trip. I've never eaten there before and keep reading about how amazing the pommes frites are, so I guess I need to try them! The gumbo sounds good too...yum!

Just booked our trip... we'll be there 3/27 through 4/1. We'll be staying at the Sheridan Park Hotel, since we'll be taking advantage of the points my husband racks up with his work travel. This trip is just me and my daughter (14) for her spring break (my son's spring break isn't until mid April and the stick in the mud doesn't want to go anywhere). My daughter and I stayed at this hotel and did Disneyland in June last year when we were in town for a dance competition. We've always just winged our trip, but since it's just us this time we're looking to plan a bit more and do some of the things we normally miss.

My husband and I will be staying at the Disneyland Hotel from February 28th - March 4th!! I can't wait. We haven't been since 2008.

Just noticed when I updated my dates we are at the same hotel with the same dates. If you see 2 little 7 year old twin boys bouncing off the walls please say hello.

Too perfect! That would be my first ever Dis Meet so I will definitely keep my eyes open for ya around the hotel.

If anyone is interested in joining the February facebook group it has been updated to add March people and Mike has renamed it. Here's the link.

This used to just be a February group, but Mike is inviting March people as well.

I saw Kylo Ren was coming!! I can't wait!
Thoughts.. we fly into LAX about 930 in the morning. Should we plan on going to one of the parks that evening? I am renting a car and driving to hotel. I'm kinda nervous about this trip, it's my first big trip since being separated... I'm second guessing all my thoughts!!

How many days are you planning in park?

 

[Planner4Mickey]

Right now, just one in each... that's why I am leaning on going the day we land... Just to kinda get a feel for the park, and what we would want to def do.. We are going to drive up to Universal for one day...

If money is a non-issue, then personally I would definitely go the day you land if you only have 2 days. To me the extra hours and cost is worth it to see and experience more. I would go straight from LAX to the park. If you are wanting to see WOC that night you could book a package and not have to worry about getting a FP or even book PTN package for that evening to maximize your time so you don't have to stake out a spot and lose park time. Also if that puts you in the park on a Monday (according to your days) then you could see Mickey and the Magical Map!

We've moved to the PPH due to the pool construction and added a day! We've not been there and our son wanted to complete the hotel trifecta.

Has anyone done a whale watch in SoCal? If so out of LA, Newport, Long Beach or San Diego? Any recommendations?

Hi all! This is going to be our first trip in 2016, heading there March 28 - April 1st. We're staying at the Tropicana for the first time to try it out. I was able to save up last year and upgraded our tickets in December to annual passes for myself and my two boys so this is the beginning of our year of Disney. I've never been during Spring Break but after attending mid December Diamond celebration crowds, I feel like I can handle anything at this point

I'm hoping to catch a few things that were cancelled due to weather that we missed out on when we were there last month. I would love to see Paint the Night and the new WOC, and my kids' collective goals are to eat at a character meal/buffet every day. I haven't looked much into possible hours or closures, so I appreciate seeing some listed on the first post! I am very excited that Kylo Ren will be showing up at the Launch Bay, I was hoping that all of the season of the force would be sticking around for awhile since my kids are loving all the Star Wars extras!
