Thanks for the comments, everyone! :-) @Cosmic Commando, I especially appreciate the insight on which side of the Matterhorn was which. Not knowing the park super well, it was really hard to keep it straight in my head. I swear I have not forgotten this trip report, I apologize for it being...

Day 5, Part 2! It was still pretty early in the day at this point, and so far we had only managed to ride Pirates of the Caribbean once on our trip. We had seen that Pirates could get pretty crowded later in the day, so we decided to make our way over to New Orleans Square. After we got in to...

What a fantastic picture! :D I've really, really loved reading your trip report! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Hey everyone! Sorry for continuing with my theme of not updating for a really long time! However, I definitely want to finish this, since it’s been fun for me…and if some of you were enjoying reading it as well, all the better! So we left off with a great dinner at Napa Rose and finishing off...

I went back to look at some of my own pictures, and whaddaya know, there's the clock (from a distance, though)! This thread has been great to see some of the little details that were right in front on my eyes, but somehow missed!

Haha, yeah I feel like goats generally make the same faces whether or not they're donning silly costumes. :) Thanks for all the pictures, Raven! I haven't been to parks on either coast for Halloween, so it's nice to see the decorations even if I can't be there.

The clock in the above post is gorgeous! Where in Fantasyland is it located?

I just realized that I still have my Touring Plans subscription, so I can let you know what they say for March/April. It looks like they expect the majority of those two months to be pretty busy, between Spring Break and Easter, but there are a few weeks here and there where they don't expect...

Thanks so much! I'm glad it's been fun to read! :D Yeah, I'm so glad we tried out Napa Rose too, it was a great experience! It hasn't been until our past several years of going to the Disney parks that we make taking the time to try some of the more unique restaurants almost as big of a...

Thanks again for all the kind comments, everyone! :) On we go! Day 4, Part 7! Dad and I headed back to our room at the Grand Californian and found Mom there. She had enjoyed a relaxing afternoon, getting a light lunch at Whitewater Snacks and enjoying the beautiful weather poolside...

I feel like I never saw Monstro from this angle - always from the direction of the Storybookland Canals Boats queue and entrance. I really like this shot!

Thanks so much for taking the time to do such a wonderful trip report! I've loved reading the whole thing and really loved all your pictures. Makes me very excited to explore CA someday! Also, the pictures from Sushi Heaven look so amazing. I may need to go get sushi now... :hungry:

This is seriously the best kind of "edutainment!" :D Thank you so much for the detailed look at your awesome Baxterland map. For those of us (me) who don't know a lot about the specifics about his involvements with the parks, this was a ton of fun to learn about. Also, I want to visit his...

Thank you for sharing your trip report!! I had a lot of fun reading it, and especially enjoyed hearing about the variety of things you all did on So Cal. It sounds like you guys really had a great time! Your pictures from the beach are soo beautiful! I definitely agree with the talk about...

I am far from knowledgeable about Tony Baxter or Disneyland, but I am a fan of learning about both! Anyway, I was watching the 50th Anniversary Sleeping Beauty DVD and was thrilled to find the in-depth feature about the original Sleeping Beauty Castle walk through, which Tony Baxter put...

Ack! Old habits die hard! ;) And I've never even stayed at the Grand Floridian! Thanks for the catch! :D

Day 4, Part 6!!! After the parade, Dad and I decided to head over to Paradise Pier. While we had done all the major rides over here (most multiple times!), we hadn’t hit any of the smaller rides. While I can do a Wave Swinger and a Wild Mouse coaster anywhere, I still like these kinds of...

The Fun Wheel definitely gave us one of our most...memorable...moments on our trip! I was wearing one of the t-shirts I bought there the other day and my dad pointed at the Fun Wheel on it and said "That's what I want to ride again!" And he's totally serious - and he's the one that nearly got...

Day 4, Part 5!! Dad and I hurried out of Blue Sky Cellar and got a place along the wall of the wine country area to wait for the Pixar Play Parade. Even though the humidity in CA is vastly improved from our east coast home, we found that when the morning clouds cleared, it became quite sunny...

Hey all! Sorry for the long breaks in between posts! I've started my job search so that's been keeping me a little bit busy. I also find that I enjoy doing the trip reports more if I don't try to do too much at once, and I want it to be fun! But I've been having a great time putting it...
