This is my first post, but I've been lurking on the message board for a few days now.
My husband and I are going to DL/DCA for 3 days (Sep 3-Sep 5). We're celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary which is on the 3rd. This will be our third trip together. We went in October of 2011 for our Honeymoon and September of 2012 for our first anniversary. We're staying at the Best Western Stovalls Inn, which will be our third visit to that hotel as well. I've already booked a Blue Bayou Fantasmic! package for Sept 4.
We're kind of bummed that Space Mountain is closed for refurbishment during our visit, that's one of our favorite rides. Haunted Mansion was closed last time we were there as well. It appears that sometime in the future, we'll need to go between January and July to see Haunted Mansion in its normal, non "Nightmare Before Christmas" form. On our first trip together, we rode Haunted Mansion with the Halloween overlay and went to one of the parties.
Our California vacation started as a long weekend to Monterey, CA, but due to an unexpected extension of 3 days to our vacation, we're adding a somewhat spontaneous (as spontaneous as six weeks prior can be) three-day jaunt to Anaheim to go to DL.
Last time we were at DL/DCA, Cars Land was brand new, so the line for Radiator Springs Racers was really long. We were only able to ride it once. We hope that this time, we'll be able to ride it multiple times, at night and during the day.
Our favorite time at Disney is at night. Our favorite ride is Big Thunder Mtn at night. Splash Mountain is my least favorite ride--only because I don't like having to walk around the park in wet clothes--the ride itself doesn't bother me.
DH, college-age grandson, and me. This timing works for us because the grandson is between classes. Whooppee!!
