Lunch at Cocina Cucamonga. Excellent QS choice! Plus, there's a beer truck just outside!!!! Lots of local brews.

I'm reading your post with the beer mention. Just picturing myself with a glass of wine in hand in about 2 hours....Weekend will be welcomed!

It's a toss up. They are different and the first time riding it this week, the drop sequence caught me by surprise!

Kids are doing the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail

I'm only page 4 but I just wanted to say that I'm TOTALLY pumped for this TR.

This is the exact trip AZ|Grand Canyon and drive to DL
(except for the part about visiting your brother - nothing against him, I'm sure he's a nice guy and all....) that I wanted to take this year, but the additional time in the air for my wife was just too much.
I WILL CONVINCE her..and I'm going to use this TR to help...

Soarin passes expire at 2:05, but drawing Oswald at 2. If we can't get in late, no big deal. Brayden loves Oswald. It's his favorite. We aren't missing that!

 

[coachwnh]

Aladdin show was awesome!! It's a must see at California Adventure

 

[coachwnh]

Brayden is loving Dancing with Disney!

Madelyn eventually warmed up too

Oh my goodness... If you're up for suggestions, I recommend the Nob Hill. It's fantastic!
