I'm a long time lurker on the DISBOARDS...much more than a poster. I have been a Disney lover for as long as I can remember, but didn't become an insane planner until 3 years ago when I found the DISBOARDS. I feel like I've picked up much of my knowledge here. I've always wanted to do a trip report, and in this case starting with a PTR. I love reading everyone elses, and am looking forward to sharing with all of you. :flower3:

Anyways, moving on to the trip! My name is Jenn I'm older than 30 (ughhh) and obsessed with two things, hockey and disney. My best friend Kimmie who will also be posting is my fellow Disneynut and always ready and willing to go on Disney adventures. I think I can speak for both of us when I say we pride ourselves on being Disney Geeks, we always say...ask us anything about Disney and we have an answer. For some reason everytime Kim is in the park, people ask here for directions, where things are, about the rides, food, etc. It's really cool.

We orginally started planning this trip to be an all girls trip for many of our friends and family, but one by one everyone has flaked out leaving only the two of us left! :confused3


A little background on how we met: we are both from Northern CA, when I graduated from my small town highschool I moved to the big city..and Kim was the first friend I made at the local hallmark store where I got my first big city job (in the mall). :laughing:
I was a pretty shy homely small town girl, and Kim is a very outgoing, fun actress! She defintely helped me out of my shell. We had some awesome fun wild times throughout our college years, lost contact for a little while and reconnected on myspace. We just picked up right where we left off. Kim still lives in California, while I have moved to Phoenix Arizona. I wish we lived closer, I keep trying to convince her to move to AZ where it's nice and warm!! We try and talk on the phone as much as possible. :chat:

Whats most interesting is that Kim and I have been best friends for 14 years and we have never taken a trip to DL together!!! Just WDW in 2008 with a group of 10 people. We had an unbelievable time. Here are a few pictures of our trip.

Kim is in the tank top, and I'm the one with the Coyotes hat on.
Kim has always been a ham for the camera, but most recently I have been too..not sure how? Well, we both got picked to participate in the Indiana jones stunt spectacular...it was a riot, we couldn't stop laughing the entire time.
**we are streching in this picture, I'm the really tall one, and Kim is the shortie next to me** We are already laughing in this picture.:lmao:

We both are truely obsessed over food, Prime Time Cafe was a blast, causing the waitress to feed me, and Kim was put in the corner for being bad.
I was so full...this picture pains me, I look ready to explode! ...:rotfl:

Here is Kim in the corner...laughing of course

Our DL trip starts Feb 1, 2010. We are both going to be driving to the park. We're staying at the Best Western Stovall Inn, we found a smokin deal of $317.00 on Get Away Today's website for 5 nights and 6 days. The 4th and 5th night where free. I'm super excited about staying there, it looks nice since they refurbished. We both wanted to stay at one of the DL resorts, but it's just not going to work finanically. We both bought our tix off the DL website for $173 for the 6 day park hopper.
So far the plan is to get in really really early on Monday, even before the parks open...we are going to meet up at Mimi's for breakfast!! (love that spicy omlette) and than park our cars at the hotel and head over the DL to get in line! EARLY!! :scared1:
We don't usually plan on what ride to do in what order, but most likely Pirates will be the first one on the list. I think that's all for tonight, Kimmie will be posting her comments below!
 
:rotfl2:

Soooo....Jenn pretty much summed it up in her blurb there. LOL Lets see....some Disney background on me....I am OBSESSED!!!! My family used to bring us to Disneyland every summer for vacation and as soon as I was old enough to take myself...I did. HAHA I used to go at least once a month and have been known to drive the 6 hour drive just for the day to get my fix. :thumbsup2

I just got married in May and have not had a chance to get back to Disneyland since Christmas 2008 what with the new hubby and new expenses and all. Our whole wedding was Disney...My hubby is so awesome for letting my addictions come out for that!!!

Ummm I was going to post a picture of my cake but I am pretty new on here and I am not sure how to add them. LOL

I am uber excited to go to Disneyland with my best friend Jenn...I cant believe after all these years we have never been together. Craziness...I guess the timing just was never right!! Well it is now and I CANT WAIT!!!!!!! More to come!!!
 
Kimmie--I send you a link to get your pictures on here..DIS newbie :lmao:

Well, it's Monday morning ready to go back to work.......only 7 days left until we LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:goodvibes

Time for a good strong cup of coffee. :surfweb:
 

You're not alone - that pretty much describes me in a nutshell right there.

:thumbsup2 I'm definitely in!


Hi! I've read your trip report, your a huge Sharks Fan right? I have to say I love it when we play your team...always a fun game. I hope your team goes deep in the playoffs (just not at the expensive of my Coyotes..:lmao:) As long as someone can beat the Red Wings!!
 
OK..thanks Jenn for telling me how to get my pics on here! And welcome everyone. LOL I am still not really sure how this all works. I spend most of my time on Laughing Place. ;)

Sooo here is the pic of my most awesome wedding cake!

That I sure am. As far as how the Phoenix/San Jose games go ... there are a few I'd care to forget if you know what I mean :rotfl: I did always got a kick out of them when Milan Michalek was still on the Sharks roster. It was fun to get photos of him playing against his brother.

As long as someone can beat the Red Wings!!

You can say that again. And again. And again! I will cheer for anyone that had the opportunity to take them down.

I love Milan! I wish he played for us, Z his brother said it sucks because now his bro is in the Eastern Conference. It would be so awesome to have both of them on a team together.
 
okay, so I quickly can get sidetracked in a conversation about sports..and seeing how Kimmie has never been to a hockey game...:rotfl2:jk Thelma!!

I love love love to stay in the park, but just had no money to do it this time. I really shopped around, I actually hunt for deals, and never ever decide on impulse, it actually took me about 3 weeks just to decide, after staring at all the reviews and pictures night in and night out (same hotel mind you..lol)
The Best Western Stovall Inn is on Katella, right across from C.A., everyone is saying just take the short cut thru the Grand Californian. I don't mind walking at all, and it seems like it might be a pretty quick walk across.
There are a few swimming pools (heated too), a microwave, fridge, and what appears to be a decent size room..oh, and free continental breakfast (music to my ears!! :banana:)
okay, here are a few photos I snagged off the Hotel Website and trip advisor.

Not bad for around $60 a night!
 
The hotel looks awesome and I cant wait to get down there!!!! I actually know exactly where that is! :thumbsup2
 
well Kimmie, we must have stunned everyone....LOL

Lots of lurkers, no posters? Maybe we scared everyone away? :confused3:scared1:
 
HAHAHA...well we do have that scary Disney like quality about us! :rotfl2:

I am sure people will start responding as soon as we have more pics and the whole TR complete! :dance3:

HAHA!! I have a TON of pics I can put up but they are not really relevant to the upcoming trip! I have thousands of Disneyland pics...Maybe I will look for some funny ones just to keep you all entertained! Hee hee!! :rotfl:

I know what it's like to have thousands of Disneyland pics. I took just under 3,000 last September alone. There is never such a thing as too many DLR photos.
 
I'm excited for the 2 of you, I have sooooo long to wait until my trip. I'll drop in occasionally to see how the plans and trip turn out!

thanks for stopping by to read!! You know, I feel like that for my WDW trip that I have scheduled for Jan 2011...but it goes by fast...it just always feels like the last month or two takes the longest!!! LOL

I have always wanted to go to Disneyland for Christmas and never have had the opportunity. Have you been there b4 for christmas time?
