I take that back. 6 years would be an awful long time to wait for something like Disneyland ...

My three long years have practically killed me.

My three long years have practically killed me.

I have no idea how I survived the year and a half break between my '07 and first '09 trip. And all of the time before '06 just seems like cruel and unusual punishment!

Well, I am okay with like every other year with our big family but I don't enjoy waiting longer.

No, it is called PS at Disneyland and it is only 6o days out that we can make them, so I can't make any for a while but we are narrowing down the ones we want to make. Disneyland there aren't nearly as many places that you can make them at, or that you need to for that matter. I wish we could male them at least 120 days out but, alas no.

Oh okay

Can't wait to see what you pick when the time comes

Well, just for you I will let a few slip. We are definitely going to do a character meal at Goofy's Kitchen, and we are going to have a meal at the Rainforest Cafe too. Now as far WBG and I having a meal just the two of us....I am thinking that he and I may eat at the Orlean's Cafe. Yes, exciting times.

 

[kaoden39]

Well, we are nearing our 100 days until our trip. And the excitement builds. The Olympics are over so trip planning becomes number one again.

To build excitement Berht, Nerdy Cookies, Bawb and I were looking at pictures of Disneyland today. Loho was more interested in spending time in the sun. Probably what we all should have been doing, oh well.

Another Berht, NC and I were doing was look at the the park things on the Disneystore.com. Nerdy Cookies would love if she could find a piglet headband to get on the trip so anyone reading this knows whether they sell those in the park please let us know. She has always been my Piglet, that was her nickname when she was a baby. I am not even sure why.

Berht is going to get a new purse. She has carried the same Eeyore purse that she got at least three years ago. It's time.

And me? I want Mr Potato Head pieces. This is the ultimate thing for me. That and I want the Mickey drawer pulls if they still have them. And I might get the Mickey stuff for the kitchen, all the utensils. They are so cute.

I know that Weird Bike Guy and Loho will definitely want hats. That is a given. And Nerdy Cookies will get a hat, she has every trip she has ever taken to Disneyland. All the kids have, it is tradition.

I will let Bawb tell you what he wants but, I know what his must have is. And maybe he can add what he thinks are Cheyenne and Belen might want.

As far as my Mom, without a doubt it will be pins, pins, and more pins. The woman is addicted to pins. Oh and a lanyard because we are not doing the Disney travel like we normally do. Sorry mom.

I will buy my Potato Head at Target if they have them. And another must get is something for my adorable great nephew Jason. And since I know you are all saying, "Michele, we know you say he's adorable but how do we know it's true?" Well this is how....

Yes, he is definitely getting something from Disneyland, I am thinking clothing. He is a princely sort don't you think?

Well this enough for now! I did actual trip planning!

 

[wvnative]

He really is adorable. Ha, Go figure.

We were opting out of RFC this year since we have one here closeby, but now we are taking my cousin and her s2b DH there for dinner after the wedding. They don't have one anywhere near my hometown so...

Oh, and I love the monte cristo and pommes frittes at Cafe Orleans. YUM!!!

We've opted for a brunch at GK too. We plan to do a late one in hopes of then only needing two in park meals that day. The girls may veto it though if they are too busy in the park. I'm ok with it either way.

I wish DLR would go to an online dining reservation system like WDW has. Oh, and they are calling them reservations now even though that's not really what they are. lol

 

[kaoden39]

I was all for bowing out of RFC myself but Belen and company have never been. There is one in San Francisco which is only 45 miles away if I really want to go. But, you know what? I am so thrilled to be at Disneyland I don't care.

GK is a good breakfast choice for us. We went for brunch there one year and DH ended up getting sick. I am not sure why, except when we went on Innovention or whatever it's called he got really ill. And that kind of took the fun out of the day.

I always wondered why they didn't call them reservations to begin with. Disney wisdom. I wish all of it could be done online too. Geez, why don't we get the fun stuff here?

Actually, I though his post was pretty straight forward and to the point. lol

I just added one more menu to our "book". The girls will be thrilled. I can't help it. Someone posted pics of the potatoes from Troubadour Tavern and they look delicious. lol Just one more correction to make to the book, and I'll be able to print and bind it. YAY!

Ooh, I am going to go look. That sounds wonderful. I love the idea of the book.

Sadly, I cannot function without "the book". lol It's got everything in it. Directions to the hotel in Vegas, notes on Vegas, dinner reservations, our directions to Anaheim, that hotel info, our dining reservations, menus, park hours, shows and parades, notes and directions home. There's even an envelope with our ticket stuff in it.

I keep a template on my laptop and print a new one for each trip.

The girls can discuss menu's during the drive and determine if they can find something they like at the places we plan to eat that way.

How funny. I look all over for menus so I can kind of get an idea of where I want to eat. I always uber plan. And this trip the kids, well at least the girls and Bawb are interested in seeing pictures of the food.
