I keep waiting for Mickey and the Gang to show up and pack *for* me! (Oh well, I can dream. )

Have a wonderful trip, Bob! Hope to see you at DLR!

I can't stop thinking about our trip!!! I mean, I think about it almost 24/7 - I am that excited! Please tell me I am not alone in this. We leave in 5 days, and I swear I can't think about anything else. I am a teacher home for the summer, so have little to distract this over active mind of mine. I am super excited because this trip is just DH and me (we are taking our 2 boys in Sept so I don't have too much mommy guilt for leaving them - plus they are super excited to spend time with grandma and grandpa), and I am looking forward to some adult time. Don't get me wrong. I love my kids and I love being a teacher, but I need a break! Sure, there will be little ones all over the park, and I'm sure I will miss my boys like crazy, but when I see a kid having a tantrum or crying, it will not be my responsibility! Yea for 5 more days!!!! WooHoo!!!! ok, that is my rambling for the day.

Ok can't believe we will be checking into Grand Ca on Sunday! We will do DCA on Monday and I feel we have an idea of a plan...I do not know the lay of the land at all so going blind there.

Does anyone have any park suggestions for rope drop at DL park? We have 4 kids ages 9 and under so we all can't do the major rides but several. What is a game plan for hitting as soon as park opens? Fast Passes too?

I was told to do Peter Pan first and get Space Mtn FP.

I guess I'll be studying the park maps on the plane to Vegas and drive to Anaheim this weekend!
Thanks!

It's ok.... to ramble... I am just as excited as you and all I can think of is to sink my teeth into a Turkey Leg and Ride, Ride, Ride.

I am going into DLR blind also... I need to stop reverting back to the stategies I use at WDW and just learn as much as I can before arriving.

I may be over thinking to much... Just so excited......

I do that too! Adult trips are so nice! You deserve a break and you get to go back again shortly with the kids. I always make a mental note of the things I see that my kids will want to do next trip. Have a great time!

Cool! How did you do that? My son dances and was recently at a convention with Tyce Diorio and Robert Roldan and some other SYTYCD vets. My sis in law watches it too and they would have great fun at such a thing.

Day 6 and it just keps getting better!The new interactive experince in FL is sooooo much fun! We managed to earn enough gold and bits to buy the Golden Horese Shoe! We were taken on stage at GHS to toast our purchase with shots of "River Water". Then I was asked to run for Mayor of FL, won the debate and the election!!! I am now the mayor of FL!!! All should participate in Legends of FL, it is not to be missed!!!!! Off to Steak House 55 for dinner before F! and a night of attractions!

You're definitely not alone in doing that! And being on this thread (and this forum in general) with so many people who feel this way about their DLR trips makes me so happy. I have friends who think DLR is great and all, but not ones who get into the "magic" of it and get as excited about it as I do!

 

[tanyaegangibson]

That's to funy.. We have to meet up... You do have my cell # ?

I do have it. I think I already sent you mine by PM too?

When are y'all going to be in LA? Message me and I can give you a link - I've been on the waitlist for about a year for On-Camera Audiences, the group that provides tickets for AI, SYTYCD, DWTS, etc. There are still two other days you can get tickets for! I'm just happy to get one priority ticket that guarantees me a seat for the taping I'm in town for!!

Hey, how come nobody asked me for my cell #?
