Nobody gets the dining plan at DL! LOL

@raven24 has fully sold me on a trip to DL with just my DH.

I just need to know, what kind of budget do I need to consider, for 3 full days at the parks and maybe an evening if our flight gets in early enough.

Also, are there shuttles to the DL resorts from the airport? (I think we may splurge and stay at one)

Thanks in advance

Yippee! This makes me happy!

Quick service food ranges from ten to twenty dollars. If you want to eat at a table service restaurant, I would suggest Carnation Cafe. There are also the restaurants in Downtown Disney, which is right next to the parks.

As far as tickets go, I'd buy the three-day park hopper tickets, since the parks are so close. Very easy to walk between the parks.

The Paradise Pier is the cheapest hotel, then comes the Disneyland Hotel and the Grand Californian is the most expensive. The Super Shuttle offers transportation to Disneyland for guests from various airports. I'll include the link.

Let me know if you have more questions!

I am so so excited now!! I looked up plane tickets and it's almost 1/3rd of what it would cost to fly to MCO, to LAX and using the Disneyland Express, even with that fee, it's cheaper! (Cheaper then John Wayne and a $40 cab each way...lol)

Josh is super excited too, which only feeds mine! haha

I think we're staying at the Staybridge Suites because it saves us about $400...LOL

We stayed at the Fairfield and it was super close. There are also a number of resteraunts on Harbor Dr and a McDonald's practically in the parking lot of the hotel. Made breakfast a snap.

Using fastpasses at DL is so much easier since the park is smaller. You can FP a ride or attraction and be on the opposite side of the park and be back in five minutes.

The DL railroad is so much more of an attraction than MK. We rode it a number of times. Don't forget Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.

Yay! Everything seems to be working out. Use that $400 for souvenirs or food!
