Now that I'm making reservations & setting some things in stone....here's an update of the Itinerary so far............
Leave Salem, Oregon by large rental van on Saturday, July 24 & drive south. Stopping in Medford, Oregon to say hey to a few people & continuing south to Lathrop, CA (south of Stockton). We're staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites.
Sunday, July 25, back into the van & head south again. Today is my MIL's birthday so we'll be stopping at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor in Santa Clarita for lunch. Since Derek's birthday is the next day....we'll embarrass him as well!!!
We'll continue into Anaheim, stopping at the Character Warehouse to check out their goodies before checking in at the Howard Johnson. We've upgraded our Disney Travel package of standard rooms to the premium Disney View rooms. This will be our first stay at the HoJo & we're very excited about it!!
Monday, July 26 Happy 21st Birthday Derek!!!
Park opens at 8am & we'll be there.
Breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen at 10:10am
Back to Disneyland before taking a break for the twins naptime.
Early dinner at the Rainforest Cafe at 4:30pm (yet another chance to embarrass the boy......
)
Hopefully back to the park to watch the fireworks later in the evening...if not, a couple people will go back to the motel with the kiddos & have to watch from our room.
Tuesday, July 27
Park opens at 8am & yes, you guessed it.....we'll be there!!
Breakfast might be at the motel...thinking about getting Mimi's Cafe muffins.
Addy & Anthony will get transformed into a beautiful princess & knight at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at 10:00am. Addy hasn't decided what princess yet...so many choices!! She already has a Cinderella & Snow White gown....so she'll pick something else. She's leaning towards Belle or Jasmine.
Lunch at the Hungry Bear Restaurant.
Girls naptime back at the motel.
Back over to DCA to get in line for our dinner at Ariel's Grotto at 5:00pm
**We are doing the World of Color Dining Package & have the first seating time for the 1st showing.....so we shouldn't have any issues in getting our ticket for the reserved area for the show** We're really hoping the twins are having a good day today because the show is during their bedtime & would hate to think we paid extra for dinner & they won't tolerate the music, lights & crowds. Finger's crossed that they take a really good nap that day & are fascinated by everything....that would be dreamy....but I'm realistic as well & will be prepared!
Wednesday, July 28
Park opens at 8am & yuppers.....you know where we'll be!!
We will be doing our Morning Madness in ToonTown....last year we had to leave early for our breakfast ressie....but better planning this time!!
Breakfast at River Belle Terrace AFTER our time in ToonTown....lol
Might spend more time at DCA today.....Playhouse Disney for the twins & Crush at the Disney Animation Studios.
Naptime at the motel, then back to DCA for the Pixar Play Parade.
Dinner at the Taste Pilot's Grill.....yummo!
Really, REALLY need to get to Aladdin, The Musical.....will need to plan a time & stick with it. Might have to split our group to do so....not sure the twins could handle standing in line that long & not sure how they'd react to the show.
Tomorrow I'll be able to post our next day....after I make our ressies!!
BY THE WAY.....NOT SURE WHEN THIS CHANGED, BUT DISNEY DINING DOESN'T STICK TO THE 60 DAY THING EXACTLY. IT'S 2 MONTHS OUT, DATE TO DATE. I called today (which is 60 days for July 27 & she told me I could have called yesterday......
so she asked if I had anything to book for the 28th.....and of course.....I didn't!!) Just wanted you to know....since I was unaware of this change.........
I hope their day is wonderful! Yay to 66 days!
Now only about half of it stayed in, but this is still something to celebrate!!!
Holy SHEEP I am not thinking clearly. I should not have multiple threads open at once right now. Let me tell you.
