It's great to see another Disney addict from Alaska! My family will be at the park Dec 28-Jan 2 our first time at DL for the holidays. I am expecting it to be very crowded something I usually avoid.

When we got back to the hotel, the maid was in the process of providing turn down service. She had prepared some towels wrapped up like birthday cakes, lots of chocolates, placed the balloons, cards, and autographed pictures of Disney characters on the kids' beds. We headed into Disneyland Park and casually walked up Main Street checking out all the cool Halloween decorations. We decided to ...

Morning Whitewater snacks for kids breakfast, but they still didn’t eat much, so I put the leftovers into the fridge for later. Headed to Disneyland around 9 am; checked in for F! at City Hall, GAC, stroller; me and Jonas did Star Tours, mom and Raven did Ghost Galaxy. While we were waiting for DW and DD to return, we were looking at all the SW stuff. When they walked up, they looked ...

Okay, wow, I can't believe that I haven't even posted all of my trip report days yet! I guess I'm just THAT busy at work. (And I am.) So, here's day 3: Sunday, September 27– Day 3 8:45 am - 1:00 pm 1st in line at the ESPN Zone for the Vikings vs. 49ers game. Jonas and I got a booth with a TV in it, ordered some breakfast and watched the pre-game show on ESPN. Mom and Raven ...

Monday, September 28 – Day 4 8:30 am D365 exclusive for resort guests (just DD and two other girls). Rock Star treatment. It was kinda cool to have the place to ourselves, but DS was a little bored. Rode monorail in around 10:00 am; a lot more crowded than expected, had to wait for about two trains then someone mentioned it was a holiday (Yom Kippur). Oh well, so much for the ...

Thank you for the TR, so glad you all are having a great time. Did you ever get over to the Pixie Hollow place and, if so, did the kids enjoy it?

The line was always just too long. We did get an autograph picture of Tink and her pixies at check in so DD didn't ...

Before the Day Started... So, on the previous day, I noted that pretty much every kid with a sign at the Jedi Training Academy got picked, I started trying to figure out how I could make a sign for both kids as early as the night before. While at dinner, I noticed that their kid’s menus were blank on the other side, AND they gave them crayons, I knew that was the ticket! My goal for the day...
