DH called me on Monday to let me know that he has training next month in Pasadena. Boo. AND, he has to drive down. Double Boo, since that's a nearly 8 hour drive. The kicker? It's All.Stinking.Week! Sure, take my hubby for a week before Thanksgiving. Gratefully, his bosses are amazing people.
So, DH gives me the news and says, check your email. What's this? A $69 one-way ticket on Friday the 17th?
"Yeah, we can go to DL, just the two of us!"
You don't have to tell me twice! It's been 10 years since we've been to DL. I booked a one-night stay at the Super 8 Anaheim (the reviews go both ways, but the price is amazing) and purchased our one-day, non-hopper tickets today.
Non-hopper, you say?! Yep. I'm a DL girl, through and through. If I had a second day, I'd hop, but it wasn't worth the extra $100 on this trip. That amount is actually paying for the hotel! I am surprising the DH with MaxPasses. Couldn't pass it up for the $20, since we've NEVER purchased a photopass before.
We broke the news to the DD's last night and they are happy for us.
What we've decided so far:
1. Park hours are 8 to midnight. That's what we are aiming for, so that we don't have to rush around.
2. It's the first day of peak, so we will be taking our time. My brain may think I'm in my 20's, but I'm sure that by midnight, I'll be wishing for an ECV.
3. Riding the HM as much as possible. It's a serious let-down that WDW MK doesn't dress up their HM, so I need to get my fill on this trip.
4. No merch. Unless there's a good pin...or a nice mug...or a Christmas ornament I need.
I'm looking forward to the spending a crammed day with my best friend of 25 years.
