Staying at The Grand Californian




John and I live in Tampa, Fl and go to WDW all the time. I love it. I've been going since I was 3 and any time we have a free weekend...that's where I want to go! Aunt Karen, Katie, and Willy are just as big of Disney freaks...but they live in St. Louis and so normally go about once a year. Well, last year we got to talking and decided that we should all go to Disneyland together!! Their grandparents also came along and they got two rooms at the Grand Californian. John and I got to stay with them and Aunt Karen bought us our annual passes!! We wouldn't have been able to really afford it otherwise and we all had an AMAZING time.

Well...towards the end of the year we were all really missing DL. We LOVE WDW but it's fun to change it up a bit...and DL does have a tiny bit of magic that DW doesn't...considering Walt ACTUALLY was there. Lol. And...considering we still had those annual passes we figured it would be like throwing money away if we didn't use them again!! So the plan was formulated. Again we'll be staying together in the Grand Californian!!!

With 31 days to go until we meet up in St. Louis...and just a few more until we get to Cali...we're starting to FREAK out!!

Last year when we went we celebrated John and Willy's b'days. THIS year we are celebrating Aunt Karen, Katie, and my b'days since we're all June babies.

We have a bunch of ADRs scheduled too...but I don't have my calendar here with me right now so that'll have to wait until I get back from D.C. next week!

Lots of eating!! The only one I'm not SURE about is Minnie's breakfast. It's YUMMY and fun but we did it last year...and I want to have time (and room in my tummy) for other yummy food around the parks... But I don't want anyone to miss out either. I think we'll play it by ear!!

So we've all decided on a tour! This year we're doing the Segway. It's a little expensive...but we think it'll be worth it! I was going to attempt to book it today while at work...but realized it was long distance (duh) and so I have to wait until I get off work so I can call on my cell. The date we've chosen is Wed the 28th since the only other thing we have booked that day is Pat E. Cake!
