Yeah! You made it to the park! You know that if you had made a dining reservation, Skip would have thought the $37 lunch was cheap! Too funny you had to tell him not to accept any room changes.
That Space FP line is crazy!
I know. I kept thinking about how I was saving so much money by not doing sit down meals, etc and he is already complaining about the cost. He should know better, but again we usually have had the dining plan when he went to WDW with us, so maybe he just never looked at prices...and it's been years!
I was shocked how long it was, but it did move really fast.
Oh no. I fear that you're going to tell us that Skip did take a different room! I only say that because it's something my dh would totally do, even if I told him not to do it! Plus, you mentioned that you told him again not to, I hope I'm wrong!!!
No he didn't. He did say he asked when he went back to see if it was ready and they said no and offered another room and he said he would be killed if he took it so he was just going to hang at the pool.
I hadn't realized you were working on this trippie too! I thought you were going to finish your other one first before really diving into this one so I am glad I checked
I have the first day written up...and the 2nd days pictures edited, so maybe this weekend I will write that up too. The other one is all written, I just have to post each day...and check my spelling and grammar.
I'm doing it for you babe!!!!!!
I am so glad that Skip didn't back out on this one, I was so worried for you guys!
I wondered if he would too. But Claire would have killed him.
Ack, those planes being recalled, I remember the stress you were going through! Never fun right before a trip!
It was a crazy week and lots of stress for sure!
It was annoying, but my whole body hurt this trip. I need to really lose weight and get in shape because I really felt my age this trip.
OMD! Saying Skip was like travelling with a toddler!!
Yep! He just has his own rules and does as he pleases. I think growing up all the boys were treated like princes and they did the hard farm work but any normal life things they were pampered. Heck she still cooks a huge meal each day for his brother...like she still has 6 kids at home.
On one hand, it's awfully hilarious but then again, the reality of it would be horrible! I would probably kill him if he was my husband
The things he does, oh man!
I really try to be patient...I'm not good at that. I have to keep saying....it's his vacation too.
The worst would be the food part for me...I mean, c'mon, it costs $20 for two people to eat at McDonald's!!! This is Disneyland, for Pete's sake! It's expensive but you kind of have to go in with your eyes wide open and know it's going to cost an arm and a leg.
I know. He really lives life like that when it comes to how much things cost. I think he thinks things cost the same as they did in the 80's. hahah
Yes, when we went back in 2014, lots of things were closed!! I totally forgot about that! And why the heck did we not see Fantasmic? It must have been on hiatus, no??? We lucked out when Splash opened on our very last day!! So glad we got to do that one at least!!
It rained the day Fantasmic was on (our last day). I don't remember if it got cancelled or not, but at times raining hard. I think we just gave up and went to bed.
Please tell me Skip did NOT get another room
He didn't. he did ask if our room was ready and they did offer him another room, but he behaved and said no.
Looks like you're off to a good start! It's hard not to compare Disneyland to WDW. We were a little underwhelmed by Disneyland's Main Street. It was charming, but didn't have the same feel to us as WDW.....maybe because the castle was covered? However, my vote goes to Disneyland for Pirates, Space Mountain and It's a Small World.
The castle is so small, but it was even worse with that scrim over it. I am glad it is a bit different though....so that it really is a different destination.
