I'm here!
I’m in for the read
Would not miss any trip report thread of Raeven’s
I'm here!
Yeah Almost in the same vein, the final cruise payment is due the 23rd. Even though brothers have known about this plan for a year and a half at this point, haven't gotten a penny of their part.Aw, that again
(I'm also planning on posting a TR for the California trip afterwards on the Disneyland/Cali boards).
We also have tickets to the Marvel after dark event I'm so excited for this because I've always wanted to do one of their theme nights, and this one fell right during our trip,
I'm also very very excited to announce I've bought tickets to a place where they have domesticated foxes
I will say there's a lot of cool snack places everywhere, food halls, food festivals, breakfast cafes, dessert/donut places, and a lot of gluten free places. T
And of course we'll be trying In N Out.
So, I AM SURE it is already on your ride list, but you guys are going to love the Guardians of the Galaxy ride!!!! It was soooooo fun!!I'm 26, a Slytherin, & I love delicious food, Guardians of the Galaxy, & everything Halloween.
That will be so fun!This is going to look slightly different from our regular trips because for the first couple days it'll be just me and a very special guest.... @xlsm!
I totally found MaxPass to be SUPER helpful while we were there. Since we didn't know where the fastpass machines were, it saved us from wandering around a bit.I also think we may buy Maxpass for a day or 2
I have head the San Diego zoo is pretty cool. Can't wait to hear how you guys like it.San Diego: San Diego Zoo
Go early!!!! I couldn't believe how busy it was there. But def worth it.Griffith Park
Make sure you have a macaroon or two! They are really good there!In Disneyland we're looking at: Cafe Orleans, Tortilla Jo's (brunch), Carnation Cafe, Steakhouse 55, Tangeroa Terrace (breakfast), & lots of snacks.
"I'm sorry we weren't born to make you happy" Meanwhile, that seems like an amazing TR title...Please read my favorite review ever which is about the Madame Tussauds in Hollywood:
You've got my vote!I'm debating whether to piece together a Gamora or a Starlord costume/Disneybound.
I'm also very very excited to announce I've bought tickets to a place where they have domesticated foxes
Yay!!!This will be the most days I've gotten to go to HHN ever
Dining: I'm not expecting most people to have a detailed knowledge of LA's or San Diego's restaurants
I totally get this. I think because I just wasn't prepared for it all happening SO soon, I'm still trying to process how much this will change DHS for a long time to come. Don't get me wrong, as a big Star Wars fan, I'm thrilled, but the crowds just have me freaking out a littleHonestly, I'm not happy about that at all.
Our ADRs for Sep are coming up this week, and last weekend @xlsm and I had a very productive Facetime session where we figured it all out. There were some moments where we weren't sure how we'd figure it out but we finally got it We even picked places in Universal and times!
Yay! Your trips sound so fun! Now I want to get back out to Cali lol.
I'm going to put this here instead of a text: in Cali we've done
Griffith Park/Observatory (saw Hollywood sign from there)
La Brea Tar Pits
Santa Monica Pier
Warner Bros Studio Tour
Sea World
Old Town San Diego
USS Midway
Balboa Park - didn't hit the gardens though I'd like to, but did the Air and Space museum and auto museum. We've talked about just going to SD for a weekend and doing the park the whole time, we didn't realize quite how big it is until we got there.
San Diego Zoo - one of my favorite zoos ever. It's huge! Only topped by Omaha's Zoo for me - I'm slightly biased of course, but if you guys enjoy zoos and are ever feeling a need to head to the midwest, Omaha zoo has tons of really great stuff. So much has been added since the last time I went (2015) and the last time I took Zack (2012) that I want to go back with him this summer.
Of course DLR and Uni. We love Carnation Cafe and Cafe Orleans. And Zack must always eat at Blue Bayou for the theming. I would definitely look into a dining package for Fantasmic if you plan to see that (and it's wayyyyy better than WDWs). I can't wait to hear about your Marvel night - I love the DLs have themes and they've looked really cool so far!
Also I love In n Out
Your Sept trip sounds so fun, I'm sure you guys will have a blast! We haven't figured out if/when we would go to HHN this year. I think Zack's brother has mentioned trying to go again in October, but he's starting law school so I know that will limit his time. (Actually I just pulled up the calendar, and it looks like they have class from Aug 19 to Nov 25 with only Labor Day off ) Since our summer trip is shorter than planned, I know Zack wants to do another trip (we were going to do Uni and WDW for a day or two each with his parents) like a 4 day weekender thing, and he's brought up all going at the same time to do HHN too. But I have a gut feeling that if his brother finds a weekend with law school, it'll be like last year anyways and they'll just go without telling Zack until it's really close (or like the wedding trip were they told him while in line for opening night of HHN).
Hey
Yes I'm so excited! hopefully we won't have to move any chairs.
I thought of doing the WB studio tour, but I'm not sure it has enough shows we watch involved in it to make it worthwhile I also originally had Old Town in our plans, but I think most of it closes at night and realistically I don't think we'd make it there before 5pm either day with the fox encounter being outside San Diego and the zoo being on the other day.
Yeah, if we were doing Fantasmic I'd maybe do a Blue Bayou package. I'd like to see it, but I don't know if the shows are a "must do" for us on this trip. I know it has the best seats for the show. I want to see Fantasmic, but with the price of the package, and the menu not really appealing to me at all I'm not sure if it's worth it for us. And since we're mostly doing weekday days it's possible Fantasmic won't even be playing on any of our days.
I'm so excited! Aw, that again well if you are there I hope we see you!
