I believe that Mary Poppins is at about 40 days and Lucille is nearing the 300 day mark?

Anyone else?

My fiance's parents live in Southern California and we are going out to visit them Feb 20-March 1. We bought Disneyland annual passes last April when my fiance was playing football out there so we still have 3 more months on them! I'm so excited! We just got back from Disney World on Dec 15 and we won't be able to go back to Disney World until our honeymoon in Sept 2010 so it sure is nice to be going to Disneyland in about a month! :minnie:

Well I am all packed and ready to drive to Omaha where we will catch our flight in the morning. Day started off rough because our car died with my daughter driving so she couldn't steer and ran into a parked car. Really ticks me off because I just got it back from the mechanic and he said it was fine to drive.:mad: Luckily we have another car. My dh's cousin works for a motel chain so we were able to get a motel tonight for 39.95 plus tax.:thumbsup: I will be back soon with a report.:mickey:

Since booking a DL vacation doesn't quite have the same excitment as booking a WDW vacation, it hasn't really seemed real yet even though we booked our hotel months ago along with our flights.
We have now booked our 2 meal reservations. Goofy's brunch Sunday, 16 Aug 09 and a dinner at the Blue Bayou Monday, 17 Aug 09 to celebrate my birthday + 2 months. Couldn't take the trip in Jun as DS was still in school.
We are actually down to 35 days 8 hours until we leave on our vacation, but we don't get to DL until 11 days later. We then have 7 nights at the Grand Californian. :DWe are also going to do the Segway tour on the Friday, 14 Aug 09 and thinking about doing the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour. Now that we were able to actually book something it is all starting to seem much more real. I am actually starting to get excited! Just wish some days that there was more planning to do. I have also ordered my video tapes for my video camera......they always seem to be out of them when I go to purchase them.

Can't wait:mickey:

Goodness! The last time we went to Disneyland, we were very excited! We couldn't wait to book certain things such as our lunch at Blue Bayou, our dinner at Napa Rose, our Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour, and our Fantasmic dessert package!

Hope you enjoy your trip!

Well we have done the Las Vegas part of our vacation and are now half way through the Los Angeles/Universal Hilton stay. On Wednesday we head off to Disneyland Grand Californian for our 7 night stay. Can't wait :mickey:
This is our first trip out to the USA west coast and I can tell you that we are definitely not Vegas people. At least not in the summer.

In 35 days we'll be flying down from Sac with our DS, significant other, and our only grandson. He'll be nearly 10 mos old. He won't get a lot out of it, but, he's a pretty bright kid, so who knows.

We weren't planning on going this soon since our WDW trip at the end of September. But you just gotta love SWA and those $25 flights.
