"Mom maybes thats a cold tub"
Talking to the story time guy at the castle
"excuse me, please tell Belle to find Cinderella for us ok? she went that way" pointing in the direction Belle was walking.
About the 3-D shows and some of the rides:
"Yea mom I don't like that ride, daddy and christian can go on those again ok?"
(there were very few she actually liked)
So we spent three days at disneyland. We were all excited to go and we were looking forward to all the excitement, California Adventure and the remodeled Disneyland. The last time I was at D-land it was 10 years ago and of course a lot has changed; Tom and the Kids have never been. And we can't forget that its D-lands 50th Anniversary.
The first Day was a bit overwhelming for us and the kids. I highly recommend you plan your days of what you want to see and stick to it. Makes for a much easier time :) especially with two small ones. Luckily we figured that out after the first day. Secondly, the hotel......oh brother did it leave something to be desired. After trying to get into the Dland resorts and failing miserably because everything was booked up for the weekend. We would some nights but they were all spread out and we wouldn't be able to stay for the whole weekend at one place. So I opted for the cheaper route. Well the cheaper route turned out to be the CHEAP CHEAP route. I figured we would only be sleeping there and anything on disneyland drive next to the park can't be that bad at all. *HAH* We stayed at the Super Tacky Super 8. Yes I know what your thinking. "Isn't it obvious what we were getting" No not really I knew it wouldn't be like staying at the hilton or at a holiday Inn. But remember it's right next to the park. Which we find out doesn't really matter. First of all when we get there the lobby looks really nice. They are remodeling, so that must be the look AFTER the remodel. So so far not to bad. We get to our room and its a huge room. Nice size for all of us and seems very clean. Tom had asked for a play yard or crib. NONE. They were out of them (kinda hard to imagine tho) so I ended up sleeping with both kids that night. The second night we call down for a crib again and they have one and its 6$ a night. It shoulda been free but it wasn't AND it was horrible. It was so wobbly that I was scared to death to put christian in it. I truly feared for my sons life. But Tom rigged it so it was safe. Our rooms were left with two towels. Yes You heard it two. You know how some hotels at least give you two in the shower and two outside where the sink area is. Nope, Nope Nope. Two. And they are so thin that they dont really dry you off. And if you call down to get more towels, you have to walk to the lobby to get them yourselves. Ok so these things aren't so bad. Things you can live with, well except for the crib. Then comes the beds and the bathroom. The beds were so uncomfortable I'm surprised we got any sleep at all. The bathroom..... The shower head stood all of 5'2" and when your 5'10 and 5'11 it makes it hard to actually wash your hair. Then when you look up around the top of the bathtub where the tub meets the wall, all along the top is mildew. And there was some unidentified matter caked on, and dangling from the bathroom fan. Overall the place gets NO stars from us.
Now for the highlight of our vacation, Disneyland and California Adventure. thank God it was so much nicer than the hotel. :) We had so much fun!! The first day was spent chasing after princesses and characters that Caitlin wanted autographs for. The third day we got early arrival to the park and it helped a lot because we got to ride at least 7 rides in a row without having to wait in long lines.
