***March 2016 Check In***

[Cal-Pie]

It's making me crazy that the fireworks aren't on the entertainment schedule after March 5. I know that often times the schedule isn't updated until later, but I won't stop biting my nails until I see fireworks

We are officially paid! And now I'm second guessing our decisions. DOH! Thinking we should have done 4 day single park instead of 3 day hopper. But, we do like hoppers, and our 4th day is supposed to be a pool day...crossing our fingers on the weather! LOL March 7-12 at the DLH! So excited!

 

[disneyjunebug]

We have switched from the DLH to GC. Part was because of the pool situation and part was because we got the great rate with the Mini-Gay Days! Saved us big time! Where is everyone finding the schedule of what is happening at the park, opening/closing, etc.? Is it posted through March already?

They'll definitely have them.

[amyg1975]

7 of us will be there on the 19th for Spring Break!

 

[texasgingerbread]

I'm starting to pack and going to buy my iron ons today! Super excited!!! We leave Feb 25 and are flying into Monterey to do the Big Sur drive pre Disney. Anyone else packing yet or am I crazy?!

 

[Planner4Mickey]

Not in the suitcase, but am setting things aside! I don't leave until March 13... but packing for a wedding in Phoenix too...

 

[disneyjunebug]

Not a problem! I'm usually wearing red! It's my signature color!

 

[my*gracie*girl]

We just planned a very last minute trip for March 20-25...spring vacation. Crazy. I always plan at least a year in advance and we were just there in July for the 60th birthday and will be there in July again, but I just cannot wait. We were thinking of a northern CA road trip (from NW Oregon) and dh was on board to surprise dd and go the rest of the way....I am frantically making reservations. It has to be a budget trip because we did it big in July. Dd and my mom both share a 7/17 birthday with Disneyland and we stayed for my 7/22 bday also and did the Blue Bayou Fantasmic package and several other high $ things thinking we would not be back. I so wish we had upgraded to annual passes at that time, but we are going to upgrade on our last day this time at least.

I am playing catch up with what is open and new shows. Excited about Beauty and the Beast if I am reading correctly?!?! What a crazy busy time to go, but the weather will be perfect for us and it is sort of nice to not have a year of waiting and waiting and waiting....it will be here before I know it!!!

I know Tangled will be there for sure, Beauty and the Beast *maybe* unless it's been updated all I saw was "spring". Fingers crossed! We are doing the same but from San Jose, not OR. Super excited for the aquarium in Monterey.

Oh Tangled is equally great!!! It seems crazy that so much has changed just since July.

 

[merlib]

My DD and I will be there from March 19 - March 25. I surprised her at Christmas with the fact that we are staying @ Paradise Pier. This will be our second time at Disneyland (went as a graduation present back in 2012), but first time just the two of us. Definitely looking forward to it.

 

[Blonkage]

Going to Disneyland from Thursday 3rd March till Saturday 5th March.... First time without my kiddos, so am looking forward to walking slowly and smelling the roses

 

[Team Yeah Buddy]

Team Yeah Buddy:

To anyone else who is in the area it is Orange County Restaurants Week from 6th - 11th March which means some great discounts on many restaurants in the area including some at DLR.

For example a three course menu at Steakhouse 55 for $50 a head! Yum!

We booked DVC studio at GCH March 13-18. This is our first trip to Disneyland after many trips to WDW. Super excited! And my girls cannot wait to meet Kylo Ren, although I was looking forward to meeting a talking Darth Vadar. He has not spoken at Star Wars weekends at Hollywood Studios and I was looking forward to surprising the girls with that. Oh well, we love Chewy and Kylo Ren will be awesome.

 

[DL55]

Our trip has moved up a week. We are now going to be at DLR on Mar 2-3. Still staying at the Tropicana but at a lower rate (More $ to spend at Disney

 

[Angrose]

My dates have moved as well. DH is so supportive and told me I should have more than one day so I will now have an overnight solo trip, March 4-5, staying at PPH. I've never stayed there before so I'm looking forward to it! Last hurrah on the AP!
