Here is my pre trip report. If you see something lacking or can give me some advice, I would love to hear from you!
People who are going: Hubby, Grandma, Monkey Moo (7),and myself.
Sunday Nov. 15th
6:45am non stop flight leaves PDX
9:10am arrives at LGB
I have pre arranged a taxi to pick us up at the airport. 20 min trip to CCI, our first time staying here. I'm hoping that our room will be ready. If not, we will leave our bags and check in latter that afternoon. Heading straight to DCA. Hoping to watch Aladdin. I'm thinking that Disneyland will be pretty packed when we actually get to the parks about 11ish???.
3:30pm head over to Disneyland. Jump on the train to NOS to avoid the Parade traffic.
4:00 pm PS for Cafe Orleans. After filling our bellies with Onion Soup,Monte Cristos and Pomme Fritz, we want to go on the Jungle Cruise. I've have never done this at night and it's closing for refurb for most of our stay. Will it be dark around 5 ish???Hoping with the time change it will. After the cruise, I'm planning Grandma and Monkey Moo going back to the CCI since we started very early in the morning. That will allow Hubby and I to go back to DCA until it closes and we plan on watching the 10:30pm F. End of day one.
Monday, Nov. 16th
We have a premium room at CCI; so, we will have our breakfast delievered to our room.
9:30am plan on being at the gate.
Planning on entering Disneyland first.
This is the day I would like try Tiana's Showboat Jubilee and Pixie Hollow. Last year Pixie Hollow was always too long of a wait. With the new Fall overlay, I'm wondering if the lines will get long again??? This is also the day we are planning to watch the Parade, with a gingerbread cookie in one hand and a hot cocco in the other.I also want catch a Billy Hill show. I think this would also be a good day to go on IASW. Since the FireWorks are so early this night, 8pm, Monkey Moo will be awake to see the "snow"!

Wow!!! I hoping that the CCI is close enough to the GardenWalk that we will have enough time to have a meal or two there. We will not have a car. That's all I have right now. Thank you in advance for any advice or suggested changes.
