We left Sacramento around 740am and arrived in Anaheim around 200pm. We stopped twice. Once at In and Out and once for gas before the grapevine. DD was great on the way down, very little whining haha.
Got to Hojo's, had a quick, painless check in. Staff was not overly enthusiastic but nice. We are on the 6th floor with a Disney view, on the end. We dumped our stuff and immediately headed to Castaway Cove. DN and DD had a blast playing in the water. It was about 87 degrees here, warm and sunny. The room is nice sized, but I"m not sure the fridge is working properly which sucks because we brought refrigerated foods. Just took a shower and the water pressure is ok, but could have been better. So far, that's my only complaint. We came back up from playing in the water and got dressed.
Headed to DTD arounf 5pm...busy but not annoyingly busy. We were able to get our park hoppers and meal vouchers at the ticket booths for tomorrow. We bought through GAT and all they asked to see was my ID card. That was painless and the CM was very friendly. We went into World of Disney, man that store is amazing! I will be going back there before we leave! Walked around some more and ended up eating dinner at ESPNzone, only a 5 minute wait at 530pm. Service started out ok, but then our waiter got sidetracked when it started getting busier. I had a quesadilla, DD had chicken strips and kept dipping it in her caramel sauce for the apples (hey we're on vacation so what lol), DH had the buffalo chicken sandwhich and DN had a burger. The food was good, no complaints there. We walked around the shop a bit and headed out. I loved all the live music on the strip. House of Blues had a huge line and I wondered if someone good was in town or something. We had espresso from the book store DO NOT GET COFFEE THERE EVER, BLAH, terrible! We walked back to Hojo's. Nice little walk but no complaints from anyone. We're now waiting for the fireworks and drifting off to bed.
Does anyone know...we have PS for Minnie's at Plaza Inn at 940am, but DL doesn't open until 10am. One CM told me that they would let us in early, but I didn't understand where she was telling us to go. Any ideas? I figured I'll ask in the morning, but we want to make sure we get there in time to make it to Plaza Inn. How far from entrance to PI? Thanks all. More to come...
UPDATE***
Ok we got home last night around 8pm. Sorry my live trip report ended, my laptop just stopped working. I took crazy notes everyday so I can post a great trip report, so stay tuned for that soon!

And that your refrigerator will cooperate, otherwise, definitely tell reception that it is not, and it will be taken care of, I like to think, and within a timely manner at that.
and hated the coffee from Compass Book Store.
