2 months to go until our family goes back to Disneyland!! :cool1:

It seems like last time we tried to do too much, and ended up doing too little.

We didn't see the Fireworks, Fantasmic, or any shows.

We found our favorite rides, and will be going on them a few times during our next trip (Soarin', Splash Mountain, Screamin).

What don't we want to miss this time??

Obviously the Fireworks and Fantasmic are on the agenda. As is Toon Town (we never set foot into it last time), the new Toy Story ride, and Astro Blasters (never went on that either).

We will be there for 4 nights and have 3 full days, and about half of another day (our arrival day). (March 28, 29, 30, 31, Apr. 1 - Sat-Wed).

Which day would you recommend we do our Magic Morning on?? And which things don't we want to miss this time?
 
The current fireworks show is definitely worth it. I actually cry every time I see it. They project on the small world facade (and I guess the castle as well?) so in fantasy land with a view of SW is a great location.

This is silly but we've always walked right past the Aladdin show (next to Jungle Cruise), but last time we went and it was really cute.
 
:( They don't have that small Aladdin show anymore. This summer it was changed out to an Indiana Jones show, in honor of the new movie, but it was done in the Fall, and last I heard, Aladdin hadn't come back. :(


For MM, you'll have Sunday or Tuesday. If you're coming from the east coast (I didn't check Location before clicking reply) I'd go earlier, so you've got the time change working for you. Note: that's a weekend of cheerleaders...my sister being one of them.

Also, a MM on a weekend, if it's opening earlier than during the weekdays, gives you a chance of having relatively fewer people there for it, as it's harder to get up earlier. So there might be more people there for the MM on Tuesday, if the park is opening much later than on the weekend. Hope that makes sense.


TSMM is such a great ride!!!!!

We saw Fantasmic last trip and were incredibly UNDERwhelmed. And we were very very glad that DS was completely passed out, b/c he would have flipped out at the sounds (LOUD) and sights (SCARY...I had NO idea it was all about villians, but it is, and the visuals are very scary in our opinion). We wouldn't have been able to see even 5 minutes of it if he'd been awake, and we don't plan on seeing it again. The fireworks, however, are quite nice.
