Guess who got a DL trip for Christmas?

WOW, my DH has never planned a trip to anywhere, EVER!!
So you can imagine my surprise at getting a DL trip package for Christmas!! He had gone to aaa and has a complete week long trip planned- Paradise Pier, 5 day tickets...even arranged for DD15 to have a week off of work, and had a certificate for our 2 cats to go to the local vets Kitty Kondo for that week!
I was so shocked that I cried!

11 more days!!!!

What a great christmas present. Have a great time.

That is Amazing! I would cry too if my husband did that for me. Enjoy your tip!

What a nice surprise. Enjoy your trip.

Yay for you!!! You'll enjoy it. I grew up going to Disneyland, and they have some special and orginal things that WDW doesn't have. I'm sure you'll have tons of fun!!

That is the best Christmas gift ever!! Your hubby sounds like a keeper!

Hope you all have a great time.

WOW is right! What a fantastic gift. The little planned out details really show that he is as excited to go as you are. Have a great time!

WOW! What a great X-mas present. Have a great time and a safe trip.

**NotaGeek** · 12-26-2007, 01:11 PM

What a wonderful present! Be sure and post a trip report so we can see how the trip went!

Have a great safe trip and we expect a trip report upon your return. We were watching the christmas day parade and my DH says he wants to try out DL one of these times. I almost fell off the couch.

DITTO !!

We just got home from our first DLR trip two weeks ago today, and it was terrific ! DH wasn't as impressed with it - he's wanting to go back to WDW, but DL is only six hours away, and a long week-end would be so easy.

(I was just getting ready to finish my trip report, when I saw your post).

**Not2Loud** · 12-26-2007, 03:21 PM

Have FUN!

**Melanie** · 12-26-2007, 05:55 PM

Wow, very nice! And it's so soon. Enjoy!

**mrsgaribaldi** · 12-26-2007, 07:04 PM

Awesome!!! Have a great trip

Thanks. I am already in disney mode...I started making my list about 5am on Dec 26th.

So much to do-packing for 5, buying new walking shoes, finding out the weather for California in January, planning meals, mapquesting how to get there....I LOVE the planning and list making!!

Bring warm clothes! It was so cold at DLR yesterday. Wore my sweatshirt and gloves all day and still shivered during a good part of the day. But then again, I also saw families in the pool (heated, of course) at the GCH. So, be prepared for anything and plan on having several layers as an option.

Thanks everyone! I will plan to bring clothes for ALL seasons. My Sequoia will be packed to the gills!
I bought DD13 a rain coat yesterday, as she has already said she is NOT going to wear a mickey poncho again. She obviously has no idea what "cool" really looks like!

And we'll already be wearing/bringing serious winter clothes, as we are coming across the Sierras and Yosemite Nat'l Park area. Brrrr! (yes, I have snow tires already on, and chains just in case)
But I am hopeful that next week will be sunny and warm and exactly what people think of as southern California weather!

I agree with the above post - your husband is a keeper!

Y'all have a great trip - wish we were going. I guess we will have to wait until you get back to SC to plan our next trip.

By the way, where are my crabcakes/birthday cake/birthday present? If you have time to be on Intercot/go to DL - you have time to make my crabcakes!
