I L-O-V-E!!!! Disneyland. I mean really love it. The fact that my kids love it as much as me is just a bonus. My sweet hubby however does not. It took some doing this year but I finally got him to agree to come with us on our Disney trip. (notice I said come with us, I was almost prepared to got it alone. Did I mention I love Disneyland?) I made all the final arrangements today. We are all booked up. Wahooo!!!!!!!
This year we aren't doing the over-the-top craziness that we did last year. No Disney hotel etc. etc. This was a more than willing sacrifice I made so everyone was happy about the trip. We are also driving this year instead of flying. So how about it? Is the drive awful or just kind of long. I made the decision to stay in Vegas for a night on both the coming and going legs of the trip. With a 2 year old I am more than a little worried about a ten hour drive in the car. So if any of you have hints, tips or stories about how great your drive to Disney was..... please, by all mean share! If however, you had a horrible drive and your 2 year old screamed her head off the whole time then maybe don't share that info. : )

We have done that drive about a million times and it really isn't that bad. Especially if you are stopping half way in Vegas.
Just take a way to play movies and get some new movies they haven't seen yet.
If you eat in the car bring snacks for them to have every couple hours.
When we had kids that napped we liked to leave just before they would normally be falling asleep.
Also I am not sure where you are staying but rememnber that to park at Disneyland it cost alot and they only take cash. We learned that one the hard way!!
Most of all have FUN!! We love Disney too!!
We've done the drive a couple of times. Not bad at all. I do think we stopped half way both times. I'm sure it'll be great. If you have a hotel with a Disney shuttle - you're set. Have a blast!! I'm so jealous - but I'm crossing my fingers for next year. I'm the same as you. Brad likes it okay, but he didn't grow up going there like I did. I think about Disneyland atleast once a week! We were planning on going to Disney World this summer after graduation until we realized we needed an income first!
I would pack benadryl or some kind of medicine that you know knocks out your kids.
I know, I am such a mean mom. :)
Don't tell me that you didn't already think of that.
I am having a giveaway. Go and look, it would make me feel loved!
We haven't driven to Disneyland - but we drove to Seattle and it was ok. I went to Walmart and bought a bunch of the travel games - that kept him quiet for a while. The movie thing is a must - and buy new movies they haven't seen, but make sure you pack their favorites as well. :) Have fun! (Tausha, I think you can be arrested for doing that to your kids!!! jk lol)
Warning:
Just my personal opinion!
I have driven to Cali dozen of times and would NEVER, I repeat, NEVER stop over. It's REALLY not that bad and when you have something like Disneyland to look forward to come on, 10 hrs is nothing. But if you have the money and the time and you want to lug all your crap out of the car 2 times go for it.
BTW didn't you just get back from Disneyland. ::Stomping off in a jealous fit::
I'm so glad you guys are getting to go Thad and I love Disneyland also but, our boys are like Michael....hmmmmm wonder if they are family... hahahaha. I would be with you in a min. if I hadn't just gotten home from our getaway... acutally Thad and I would be there in a min if we didn't have to be here for the boys. Did I say that we love Disneyland? Ya I know just how you feel Karen. One of these times we want to come to. Have fun and Drive carefully. Love you.
I don't remember your question, but I'm happy you get to go and I'm also jealous. Didn't you say you needed one more person to go because you have an odd number??? Okay, I'll get packed. :)
I am offended that you have not stopped by to say hello. What kind of friend are you? I thought for sure that i could get you to be my friend again by telling you about my giveaway. After all it is my giveaway and I do have control over who wins! Then again, maybe you think all of stuff is ugly and you so don't want to bother. I see how you are. If you don't want to be my friend anymore, i understand. Just remember-I know things about you. College, late nights and faith hill!
I could really use some of that right about now. How about you. Chick flicks, treats, camera for proof, jammies and pillows and blankets. I really want to try a girls night out again sleep over, You with me.
Now that I have wrote a novel, I will shut up.
One more thing-go and look at my VT kits, I think that you will like them and so will your sisters.
I make you look good, just like I always have! :) I got your back!
of course-I make exceptions for my friends!!!
Amen! Disneyland is the best. Lucky for me my hubby and kids love it as much as me too. :)
I'm so excited for you guys. That place is just pure magic, isn't it? Have so much fun!!
