There's no place like home, a December 2011 DVC pre-trip. 12/2 p56 DL and WDW updates

Yay a trip to Disneyland!!! I hope this means a mini tr

Of course!!!!

Ahhh I'm so jealous! I've only been to Disneyland twice but had so much fun. I really want to go back.

I grew up going to Disneyland weekly but haven't been since 2005. I am beside myself. DH just picked up our package!

WOW!!! I've actually never been to DL (I'm not a huge fan of the L.A. area), but would so love to go (if I could avoid L.A.). That is exciting.

Disneyland isn't near LA. You can fly into Long beach or Orange County and bypass the whole crowded dirty LA scene.

Wow you're so lucky going to DL

I got back a few hours ago and had a fantastic time, didn't see Keith and Tracy though

Keith said he saw a bunch of pink shirts. Glad you had fun!!! I want a trippie.

So excited for you!!!!

Sorry that you have had a rough time of it lately.

Thanks! We are just so excited.

And he didn't come over I looked for them but there were about 3.5 thousand people there! Oh and I may do a TR, not sure yet, I didn't take many photos much to the girls disgust so will have to pinch everyone elses

 

[winkers]

Wow! You have turned him into a disney freak!

What a fun trip you're going to have.

I can't believe I've missed out on this lovely PTR--can't wait to catch up!

(You need to stop being such a slacker, though--one month and ONLY 25 pages? Time to crack the whip, Jenny! )

I feel super spoiled to be quite honest. DH picked up our travel papers today and the kids are still wearing their new Disney string backpacks and new lanyards.

Um.....when were you going to tell me?

Are we meeting up?

We will be to Anaheim hopefully by noon on Wednesday, check into HGI, and then straight to Disneyland. Thursday we'll do DCA until close and then onto Disneyland. Friday, we'll do mostly Disneyland and a little DCA. Wanna meet?

We leave Saturday morning. We are going to cruise by Belmont Shore for breakfast as we head out to meet one of M's friends. And then I have to stick my toes in the Pacific at some point.

 

[jordanyosh]

Friday afternoon would work..is it this week or next week?

Next week! Jordy. We'll be in AZ this weekend.

Can you help me with a touring plan. I haven't been in 4 years and with the new stuff I am unsure what to hit first. For Disneyland, with the help of DangerMouse on the DL board, I am thinking after totally soaking in the magic of Main St

• Space FP 1st due to the scary overlay
• Ride Space
• Ride Nemo
• Indy FP
• ride POTC
• ride BTMRR
• HMH FP
• and then kinda play it by ear maybe Splash FP

For DCA:

• Soarin' FP
• Ride Soarin'
• Screamin' FP
• ToT FP

Am I so up in the night?

 

[jordanyosh]

I think your plan looks pretty good. Thursday day and Friday day shouldn't be too bad crowd wise.

Cool. It's funny because I could do IASW, Tiki, Matterhorn, POTC, and Pinocchio and be in heaven.

Made my packing list this morning. I have never not been packed this close to a trip. The weather be varied between AZ and CA so I will be packing a lot more than I wanted to.

At least you're going on vacation!

And you get to see me. What can be better than that?

Almost done packing. It's going to be 90* in AZ and 75* in So Cal which means cool nights at Disneyland. I am wishing we got 2day hoppers instead of 3 because I really want to spend a day at the beach. I am kinda thinking that since Disneyland closes at 8 the first night, we'll head to Seal Beach after and take a stroll on the beach and have an appetizer at Walt's Wharf- my very favorite place. We are leaving Saturday for home and have to drive straight thru so not sure now we'll be able to hit the beach that morning. Fortunately I will be back to see one if my very oldest and best friends in early November. That will be a Disneyless trip.
