Hi! Just wanted to say I'm reading along Looks like a fun trip to the zoo. What a precious daughter you have.

Thank you so much! I love knowing that other people are actually reading this, lol!

Disneyland Update​

Major progress on our DLR trip! Before I left for our weekend mini-trip to the InnoSera convention, I'd ordered our tickets to the Halloween party. Those arrived while we were out having fun, so that's one step closer! Then, this morning, I made our first two Priority Seating arrangements-lunch at Cafe Orleans and breakfast with Minnie and Friends at the Plaza. I asked Violet if she wanted to eat with Mickey and Minnie, and now she keeps saying, "Mickey Mouse? Eat now?"
I also want to thank milliepie for the Disneyland tip envelopes! They look great and I love having something specific to where we'll be at!

I got off the phone about fifteen minutes ago and booked Ariel's Grotto for 12:50 (wanted closer to 12 or 12:30, but the only other choice was 11:15?). Anyway, I'm glad that's taken care of, too-dd's now going around talking about eating with Ariel.

Congrats on the Ariel ressie! It's so cute that your daughter is so young, but already sounds so familiar with Disney characters and, well, Disney period.

LOL it's a little deceiving, Ariel and Mickey/Minnie are the only characters she's familiar with.

HUGE UPDATE!!!​

I've upgraded both of our rooms to club level garden view! We are SO excited and think this will work out much better for everyone. This way Violet can get a snack before taking her naps, we won't need to order groceries, and some of the older members of our party will have a place to relax during the afternoon.

Whoo hoo, we have our ADR's!!! Here's our list:

Dec 5 (check in): Disney's Spirit of Aloha, Category 1 seating, 8:00 pm
Dec 6: Tusker House, 1:05
Dec 7: Candlelight Dining Package, Garden Grill, 5:05 (seeing the 8:15 Candlelight Processional show)
Dec 8: Crystal Palace, 1:05
Dec 9: Kona Cafe, 8:05
1900 Park Fare, 7:20
Dec 10: Brown Derby with Fantasmic! Dinner Package (we missed this last year, so DH has never seen it), 3:35
Dec 11 (departure day): 'Ohana Character Breakfast, 9:00

There are quite a few places none of us have eaten at before, so this is VERY exciting! DH and I (and dd, though she's not too picky) loved Tusker House for breakfast last year, so we're hoping lunch is just as good.

Everything is getting SO much closer! I bought tickets today for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on December 8th. Anyone out there have a good game plan for this? We missed tons of it last year because we were so clueless!

Almost time for our Disneyland trip. I hope we have good weather, which for me means not too hot and no rain. I am looking forward to churros, they are never as good as at Disneyland.
