I thought I better work on some more trip planning, being that we’re leaving in 26 days!!!

September 25th-Day 5

* Dad and Linda fly back home
** We will be separating from my Brother and his family this day

6:45 am: Wake Up
8:15am: Have breakfast ((not sure where yet))
9:00am: Drive to Hollywood

We will hang out at and explore the Chinese Theatre/Walk of fame/Kodak theatre area for a couple of hours and have ice cream at the Disney Soda Fountain

11:30am: Drive back to Anaheim

12:45pm: Lunch at House of Blues in DTD

After Lunch we will head to DCA for a few hours! These are the only must-do’s for the day:::

2:15 pm: Play house Disney

Ride Monster’s Inc

See Turtle Talk with Crush

Ride Toy Story Mania ((If there isn’t a long line))


4:00pm: Walk over to DL park

We don’t have any plans or agenda this night. Just want to go with the flow and enjoy having time with just the 3 of us.

7:00pm: Leave park/Head back to hotel to have dinner



So I thought I would mention that we finally bought a laptop today, so I’m going to try and do a LIVE trip report when it comes time. Not guaranteed of course, that will all depend on how I’m feeling every night. But I’ll try I promise.

Next: Day 6

 

[mommaU4]

26 days?!?!? Wow, that is going to fly by.

Oooh...a live report would be fun. I'd do that but I don't think our hotel has internet.

 

[reyasmommy]

ONLY 25 Days Left!!!

September 26th- Day 6

8:30am- Wake up
10:00am- Walk over to Paradise Pier Hotel
10:20am- Lilo and stitch Breakfast

​

After eating breakfast we will head over to DCA for a few hours then make our way over to DL for the rest of the evening. We don’t have any particular plans, just go with the flow again. Our only must is to see the fireworks at 9:25pm.

​

The plan is to stay until closing, but we’ll play that one by ear. Hopefully the kiddos can handle it.

 

[reyasmommy]

Reya's newest pin! Sooo freakin' cute.

Reya's newest pin! Sooo freakin' cute.

I love Dumbo. A few years ago I got this dumbo purse for my niece (took this photo from ebay though...)

 

[reyasmommy]

I did some more shopping today! I decided that since the kids where getting gifts from Tinker Bell and Mickey then the adults should get gifts too.

Shirt for My Brother

Shirt for My Sister-in-Law

Coffee Mug for Linda

Coffee Mug for my Daddy

​

I also bought a couple more items for Reya. A new Mickey Shirt and a inflatable princess bed. I'm going to take it on our trip with us in hopes that she'll use it instead of having to use her crib.

​

 

[JaneJetson]

Great purchases. That bed is really cute!

 

[mommaU4]

Ooooooh, I love everything you bought! It's all so cute. They are going to be really thrilled with their presents from Tink and Mickey.

 

[MommyLove]

I just started your TR and I'm only a couple pages into it. I had to comment on this:

This will be our last Disney Vacation for awhile because we are going to start trying for baby # 2 right after we get back from DL.

AWWW! We are going to start trying for baby #4 late fall/early winter (depending on how the nursing is going with Jaimee) so this next trip might be the last one I'll be able to do thrill rides for awhile.

And OMGosh, how cute is that pic of DH and DD sleeping in the car!! That is so stinkin cute!

I'll have to get caught up on the rest of your TR later. Im enjoying it so far!

 

[reyasmommy]

Thanks! I love it! I'm afraid it's not going to last too long though. She keeps wanting to jump on it. Grrrr!

Ooooooh, I love everything you bought! It's all so cute. They are going to be really thrilled with their presents from Tink and Mickey.

Thanks!! The shirts I bought for $5.00 each at the Disney store!! And the mugs were 2 for 12.00!! SCORE!!! I also bought myself a cute tinker bell makeup bag today. Ummmmm.. I mean Tinkerbell got me a cute makeup bag.

WOW!! 4 kids. You're going to have your hands full. My husband and I think we're done after number 2 if we have a boy. But if we have another girl, we might try for a 3rd. My luck though we'll try a 3rd time and have twin girls and end up with 4. ((twins run in the family))

Thanks, I also Love that photo with DD and DH!! They're such great travel buddies.

I'm glad to have you reading along!

We want 2 or 3 kids. And I always worry that number 3 would end up being twins because my dad is a twin. Although if the second pregnancy ended up being twins...that might be good. Because then we'd get 3 kids but I'd only have to go through two pregnancies...haha.

 

[Laneychris]

Great pics.

 

[MadiMouse]

Hey!!!! Can you believe that I leave in a week????

Like I told you before, I am loving your PTR. It's just like a TR!

Yeah, my mom is a twin, and my mom's twin sisters daughter had twins. I just don't want 4 girls is all. 2 Kids would be perfect. 1 Boy and 1 girl.

Great pics.

Thank you! Thanks for reading.

HEY!!! I can't believe you still haven't written pre trip report. What the heck?!?!

I hope you at least write a TR for my viewing pleasure! With lots of pictures of that cute little girl of yours.

I'm glad you like my ptr, I can't wait to write a TR!

 

[reyasmommy]

I am soooooooo ……. Sooooooooo …… soooooooo mad at myself. When I ordered Reya’s pins on eBay I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize that my previous address was listed as my shipping address. So now I most likely won’t see 5 of the pins I ordered because they were shipped out before I noticed the mistake. I’m hoping they will be returned to the sender and sent back to me, since I emailed them to explain the situation. So keep your fingers crossed. Otherwise I’m out about $30.00

 

[reyasmommy]

ONLY 22 DAYS LEFT!!!​

September 27th- Day 7

**We will be separating from my brother and his family this day, we will also be staying in separate hotel’s, but we’ll meet up the next day at Sea World.**


7:30am: Wake up

9:00am: Check out of Hotel

We’ll have breakfast somewhere in Huntington Beach. I’m thinking either The Sugar Shack or IHOP.

After breakfast we’ll spend a 2-3 hours in Huntington beach swimming and shopping.

​

If we’re up to it we’ll also stop at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar on our way into San Diego


3:00pm: Check into our Hotel. Courtyard Marriott at Liberty Station

​

I’m really excited to be staying here. It’s right on the bay, so we will have pretty views and they have a nice walking path along the water which we can enjoy. It’s also new and within walking distance to several restaurants and a star bucks.

After Check in we’ll shower and relax for awhile.

5:00pm: Go to Old Town San Diego to explore and shop

We want to have dinner at one of many, many yummy Mexican Restaurants then in town. I might go with the familiar and eat at Casa Guadalajara where we’ve eaten the last couple of times we’ve been in San Diego or go for something different. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
