In 3 weeks my entire family is going to Disneyland. Hooray! I haven't been to Disneyland since I went with a friend of mine in college ("I'm not falling for that one. I'm not getting on the freeway. Hey! We're on the freeway." That was for you Kim.). I love Disneyland and am looking forward to going. We'll be gone Sept. 4 (leaving as soon as I get out of school. I'll be off track!) until Sept. 12. I'm looking forward to experiencing some Disney again, it's been way too long!
We'll be staying in a Marriott condo about 30 minutes away from the park. I'm thinking about 3 to 4 days at Disneyland, maybe some at the beach, and some for relaxation of course. Since it's been about 10 or more years since I've been, is there anything I NEED to do or see while I'm there? Any fabulous eating places? Great shopping spots I can't miss? Help me out and let me know the things you love doing.
P.S. Did I mention I'm not the happiest road tripper? I'm planning on bringing plenty of snacks, books, and of course my new ipod, but all of you be forewarned I'm not always the greatest when it comes to LONG car rides. I want to get there and be done! It's Disneyland (I am a kid afterall) and I want the fun to begin, not the long, endless hours of boredom in getting there. On a better note, I did make it all the way to Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota and I survived (with no impatience I might add). I actually didn't mind the driving too much, except for the dead scenery I enjoyed it. There is hope. Some day when I'm rich and famous, I'll own my own plane and be able to travel wherever and whenever I want. :)

Woohoo!!! I'm so ready for another Disney trip - have a ball and enjoy every second!! Love it!
Mel - I really can't believe I was at your last Disneyland trip. That makes me very sad it has been so long. First, tell your dad he has a bad back or knee and he can't stand in long lines. Your first stop is the fire station to inform Disney of this problem. They will give you a jump to the front of the line pass for your dad and 8 others in your group. This makes for a great trip. Next 1 hour before the Main Street parade find the double decker bus on Main street and the "cast members" with cloud overalls. If you ask them they will put you on the bus and you will get to be in the parade. Those with small kids will not be able to participate but you, Michael, Michael's wife and your parents should really do it. It is one of the funnest things I have ever done. You learn a dance and get to hang out with the characters. I had perma grin. Other than that, have fun and miss me tons!!!
