So I've decided to do this a bit differently. This thread will be my pre and post trip in one. I'll try to do some updates while on the road, but it won't be every day.
Cast:
Me...the mom. Native New Englander. This is my 2nd trip to Disneyland. One of my goals is to get my boys to all 50 states before graduating high school.
DH...the dad. A bit high strung...very much a Type A personality. From NJ but loving the move to New England. This will be his first trip to Disneyland and San Diego.
DS1...our very energetic 3 year old. He loves trucks, digging, puzzles, Mickey Mouse, and food. This boy will eat anything you put in front of him....that's probably why he's 51 lbs now. BUT he is at least 43 inches tall sooooo....he can get on almost all the rides! Woo hoo! And he's a thrill seeker. He's going to love Splash/Space/Thunder Mountain.
DS2...our equally energetic 2 year old. Loves the same stuff as big brother, except for food. This kid is going to be a pain in the butt to feed on this trip. Oh well..... He's a peanut, but also a bit wimpy (I say that with love) so it works out okay. He will cry on a carousel, so obviously thrill rides are out of the question. The fact that he's too short for many of the rides big brother can go on, shouldn't bother him. We'll stick to flying Dumbo.
Today we reached the "one week to go!" point so I'd thought I'd start my pre/post trip report. The flight we will be on next week is currently over western Michigan at 36,000 feet. Can't wait!
Our plans are to spend a few nights at the HoJo Anaheim and then head down to San Diego. Right now I have two reservations...a Residence Inn and a Hyatt House. Gotta decide which one to keep...leaning towards the Hyatt.
Right now the weather is forecast to be in the low 70s and sunny while we are in Anaheim. Still too far out for San Diego.
