It's Never This Hot Here!--- A Disneyland/California Adventure June 2022 Trip Report

[kbarry117]

Hi! I am not sure how many remember me but I wrote my first trip report two years ago when my husband and I went on our honeymoon to Walt Disney World.

We had been talking about wanting to take a trip to Disneyland for a while and everything just fell into place.

In my husband's family when you turn 13 you get to pick a trip to anywhere in the US that you want to go. His niece ended up picking LA/Disneyland.

The plan was for my mother in law, sister in law, niece, and me to fly out to California. Spend a few days seeing LA and then spend a day at California Adventure and a day at Disneyland. My husband decided to fly out and we spent an additional few days at the parks.

We had a great trip! There was definitely some drama, some crowds, lots of slushies, lots of rides, some good ride photos, and most importantly lots of memories made.

I hope you will follow along!

I will go ahead and start with our travel day.

Tuesday June 21st

We were scheduled to depart from MCI at 7:30PM. I had been running around all day doing last minute errands and trying to tie up any loose ends at work. (I recently started a new position at the same community college I have worked at for 10 years). This new job comes with some more responsibilities so I was making sure everything was ready for me to leave.

Packing is also made difficult because of my pups. They both have some separation anxiety so trying to pack without them seeing is always a challenge

I mean look at those faces.

So after a very chaotic day it was time to head to the airport. My mother in law had rented a car so we had to drop that off and we took the shuttle into the terminal. It was a very easy process.

After checking in and going through TSA we realized it was only 5:00pm.

There were two restaurants to choose from for dinner. (I cannot wait until the new airport opens).

We ended up going with the Mexican restaurant and we split some yummy tacos and quesadillas. We also had a wonderful 17 dollar margarita.

After dinner we made our way back to our gate. Soon we were boarding and on our way to Chicago.

We made it to Chicago with no problems. We had just a short layover. Just time to grab a quick snack and take a little walk to stretch out our legs.

We boarded our flight to LAX without any problems. And then we sat and sat and sat.

They made an announcement that they had some paperwork problems. All in all we sat on the plane for close to an hour before takeoff.

I was just ready to leave at this point.

We finally landed in LA at about 1:30am. We made our way to baggage claim and thankfully all of our luggage arrived quickly. We made our way to Uber/Lyft pick up and we had a short drive to our first hotel of the vacation.

We all fell asleep in anticipation of our first full LA day in the morning.
