Just made plans last week to head back to the World again. This will be our 5th time going and my first sharing it with this board. I've read so many glowing reports and am so awed at everyone's friendships, the camaraderie, that I am so glad to be joining in on the discussion about making plans and the actual visit itself. This is a 1st time Pre-Trip Report for me, so please bear with me. I'm new to this so I hope that I won't bore anyone with my ramblings. Thanks for coming along with me on this journey.
Well, it's a good place to start at the beginning so here goes.
THE CAST:
Myself and DH
At our favorite place in the whole world....Disneyland on the Tram. We used to be yearly AP'ers and would go at least once a month. So very familer with DL, WDW, not so much as we go only about once every 4-5 years.
Goofing off on the Tram, yes, that's me with DH looking not as impressed!
So about a month ago, DH says to me in passing: "You know, maybe we should go back to Walt Disney World again...what about this winter after the New Year?"
I was like.........
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was like totally out of the blue. Was not sure about our finances this year too but with our move back up to the Pacific Northwest and him making the same kind of money that he was back down in So Cal, we could actually swing it! I was also like......
So I'm glad to be going again with DH...woo-hoo!
THE WHERE:
The POLY! Of course. The Poly is our "home" when we go and we've stayed there 3 times for our last trips. The second time we went we stayed at the GF but DH didn't care to much for it. He didn't like all the "froo-froo" he called it. I loved it, all the Victorian charm but to each his own. Maybe if it's wasn't so expensive he would have liked it more. So all the rest of the times we've been, (3) we've stayed at the Poly. There's just something about the Poly that's so relaxing! I loved walking through the doors and smelling and hearing and feeling the atmosphere. It just says: "It's your time now to relax and not worry about life for 8 days." We have only always been for week long trips. Never over 8 days, one week. Also with the constructions at the Poly not sure how we will handle that with no pool to go to, and the whole place torn up. We hope that most of the work will be about halfway done by then.Would really like to visit Trader Sam's when it opens but we have a feeling that it will be a exact duplicate of the Trader Sam's at the DL Hotel. I just hope that when it opens that it will be larger than the DL one! DL's is so small and even though I like the effects, the menu was not that great (small items) but the drinks were FAB!
THE WHEN:
We are going the 1st week of Feb, from Feb 1st to the 8th-the 5th Trip. We wanted to see how the crowds were and if they were a bit lighter and we are both cold weather freaks, no humidity or heat for us. We just can't handle it. The cold is more our style, so if we have to bring out the gloves we will. Just a bit afraid that some of our favorite rides will be down for refurbishment. I hope Splash is open and SM too!
More to come with our Dining Plans!
