Our trip to Disneyland in a Grand Californian 3 Bedroom Grand Villa.

[Nickylv]

Before checking out we had breakfast with the characters at Story Tellers Cafe. A visit with Santa in the lobby and soon it was time to leave. Another amazing family trip. This was part of our Christmas gift to our family and they all loved it. We had to leave early since our dog sitter had tickets to the Rodeo at one of the casinos, so we needed to get back by 4pm. The vehicles all packed and saying our goodbyes, see you when we get back home to our family. Out on the road heading back to Vegas. Sadly another family vacation ends. We try to do a family vacation at least once a year but sometimes its several times a year. My wife and I will be going to Disney World in a few weeks. I know we will have a great time, we always do. Till next time I thank you for taking time to read our adventure. Have a happy and healthy New Year. Now its time to say good by to all our company, M. I. C. See you real soon K. E. Y. Why because we like you, M. O. U. S. E.

What a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

I had to laugh at your comments about driving to CA from Vegas on a Sunday. We live in the Victor Valley and don't drive anywhere on a Sunday that requires us to take the 15 south. Coming home from Stateline once(not even a holiday), a normal 2.5 hour drive, took us 7 hours. After that trip, we never leave on a Sunday anymore.

Lol, you only have to do it once and you will never do it again.

Great report! We are looking at a VIP guide for a day during our trip Jan 1-5. Were there seats available for Fantasmic? Weve sat on the ground several for the BB reserved package. But would prefer a chair that wasnt at Rive Belle Terrace.

We have left Vegas on Sunday many times but always on the road before 0900.

Great trip report.

Thanks! Thats what we thought. Just wanted to confirm. We did a VIP at WDW precovid. So we didnt know if there were changes. Sounds like things are back to normal. Appreciate your info!

Question about the VIP. We have done in many times at WDW, and it is not “front of the line” it is access to the LL, but you still wait in the LL line (with a few exceptions when you go through an exit on certain rides). Did you actually have “front of the line” or just LL access on your VIP? Wondering if it has changed.

Now that’s a trip report!

I would prob call housekeeping to ask for a couple King flat size sheets to make a tent with pool table . And pack a sleeping bag in case kids want to sleep on floor .Haha

Precovid it was front of the line for all rides. Our VIP contact told us now its "alternative entrance" for those rides without LL, LL entrance for those with it. And if it's and ILL you dont pay to enter. ILLs are only a one and done but LL rides can be ridden more than once

Some rides were LL, with a few minutes to no wait at all, some were in through the exit and some were a secret door that we were not sure what exit or enterance that was. We never waited more that a very few minutes. It was great
