    We're Following the Leader… to the Disney Institute! (A business/family trip to WDW)

    Wow, this is a blast from the past! A distant memory at this point. I don't think I did a TR for it, but I attended a second course (Employee Engagement) at the Grand Floridian a year or two later. They were both excellent, but I really think the Leadership Excellence one was better. I hope...

    Our “California Adventure” a Road Trip to the West (Update: Day 17 - There and back again)

    How fun! Your are going to love Marceline! We've been visiting them a couple times a year since I wrote this TR and they've made MAJOR improvements to museum in recent years. Unfortunately, the city removed the old Midget Autopia track, so you can't play on it anymore. But the good news...

    20th Anniversary Baja Cruise and Disneyland Visit - October 2017

    Thanks a bunch!!! Thanks for the comments. I'll probably be back in a couple weeks with that next trip report. Thanks! Yeah, I'm now going into the trip thinking that I'll do a TR. It's a bit of a different type of a trip for us, so it'll probably prove to be interesting. :hippie:

    20th Anniversary Baja Cruise and Disneyland Visit - October 2017

    Final Thoughts Looking back, it's hard to believe that it's been over three months since this trip ended. Times sure flies!. We made some great memories, and overall, the trip was nothing short of amazing. The positive experiences far outweighed the negatives with the loud/shaky room and...

    20th Anniversary Baja Cruise and Disneyland Visit - October 2017

    Thanks for the thoughtful comments! I hear where you are coming from about the super hero stuff, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you ride GOTG. It was pretty awesome. Hopefully, you'll be able to see the Cars Land Halloween stuff this year, it's pretty darn cool. And thanks...

    20th Anniversary Baja Cruise and Disneyland Visit - October 2017

    Day 9 - Sunday, 10/8 - California Adventure - Part 1 So yeah, our last day of the trip. :sad: The plane was scheduled for mid-afternoon, and the airport shuttle was to pick us up from the Candy Cane Inn around 1:30 PM. That would give us a good five hours or so at California Adventure...

    20th Anniversary Baja Cruise and Disneyland Visit - October 2017

    Thanks for the feedback! When we visited in 2015 with all three kids, we actually traveled with my in-laws. My oldest daughter slept in their room, so we didn't have to worry about roll away beds. I'm not sure how they handle having three kids in a room. It's worth checking them out though...

    20th Anniversary Baja Cruise and Disneyland Visit - October 2017

    Day 8 - Saturday, 10/7 - Afternoon Fun It was about noon now, so we decided to stop for a lunch break. Rancho del Zocalo has been one of our favorite DL counter service restaurants in the past, and it sounded really good at the time… so that was our next stop! Neither of us were super...

    20th Anniversary Baja Cruise and Disneyland Visit - October 2017

    Day 8 - Saturday, 10/7 - Back on our "A" Game I'm happy to report that after a good night's rest, Stephanie was feeling fine again! We had previously decided to spend the full day at Disneyland today, and since we tapped out early yesterday, we decided to stick that plan. We got up early, had...

    20th Anniversary Baja Cruise and Disneyland Visit - October 2017

    I hope you are having a great time at WDW world right now. Interestingly, we'll be there next week! Yes, we are familiar with the Ruby's chain, but we haven't ever actually tried it. (My in-laws went to the one at Newport Beach with our son during our 2015 trip and they all loved it too.)...

    20th Anniversary Baja Cruise and Disneyland Visit - October 2017

    Day 7 - Friday, 10/6 - An Adventure in California Adventure You know how sometimes after taking a nap, you feel worse than you did before? That happened to Stephanie, and she just wasn't feeling herself. She decided to stay back a bit longer and maybe meet me later. So around 4:15 PM or so...
