Trip Report No Creative Title...Just my Live Trip Report from Disneyland!!

Currently at the St. Louis airport waiting for our 9:20 flight to LAX for our week long stay at Paradise Pier Hotel in Disneyland!

We left Eastern PA on Wednesday morning and traveled to Southern Illinois to visit family. The trip out was great. The kids love road trips!

In the last week, we found out my brother-in-law will be meeting us in Disneyland for the first two days. We usually travel to AZ to see him during our trips out west, so this will be a nice surprise for the kids since they don't see Uncle Pat too often. We also found out my wife's cousin will be meeting us for dinner tonight as well.

Thanks to those who follow along. Ill keep this updated frequently!

Madelyn got soaked!

RSR is still down, but we were told they will honor our FPs tomorrow.

Heading back to our hotel to eat and dry off!

Another great day. Our longest park day this trip.

Get to the FP line for RSR, and you guessed it. It's down.

Going to check grizzly river rapids instead

What the hell????? Downtimes can be for any reason, but the amount you've come across during this trip is absurd. Still, I'm glad you're having a good time, regardless.

There have been a lot, but we've been able to manage. If it were our first time and I had no idea where things were or how to get around, it would be frustrating. Overall, it's been a great Disneyland trip!

Our first ride this morning was Dumbo. Our first time on Dumbo this trip.

High over Fantasyland!

Surprise. Indiana Jones is down again. But, they will honor our FPs until closing today! Now waiting for the Jungle Cruise

The only ride I have ever been walked off of, Indy Jones. It was sweet tho, great ride but it was down the whole day after we got walked off, never got to go back. One more reason to return!

Meeting Alice and the Mad Hatter

The characters in DL are just different. On script, but off if that makes sense. As you walk around Fantasyland, you never know who will just appear and what they will do. Alice and Hatter just walked around and asked people to follow them. After a few meet and greats, they would just tell everyone to follow them and go somewhere else. Very fun!

Just a few pictures from the queue of BTMRR

Taking a ride on the firetruck down Main Street

Some people just don't move! Has anyone ever been hit? It wouldn't be the drivers fault, thats for sure.

 

[coachwnh]

Going to California Adventure to get fast passes for RSR (which we never used since it was down).

 

[coachwnh]

We met some friends along the way

 

[coachwnh]

Carsland and Lunch at Flo's (which was very good)

The milkshakes were excellent!

 

[coachwnh]

Then it was back to Disneyland and a ride up Main Street on the Omnibus. The kids got to sit up front. They were very excited. The conversation with the driver was priceless.
