Hi everyone! I have a trip planned from Nov 30-Dec 6 to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday. It will be just the two of us. I'm really hoping everything will be ok by then. I absolutely love
Disneyland for the holidays.
I rented points from a DVC member for the Grand Californian for the first 4 nights and then booked the new JW Marriott for Friday and Saturday night. I booked awhile ago and the rates were less than what I paid for the DVC studio. I figure we'll be ready for two real beds and a bathtub by then, since we'll be in a studio with one bed and a pullout couch at VGC. If it wasn't for the excellent and convenient location of the Grand, I would've stayed at the JW the whole time. But you can't beat being in the Disney bubble and the lobby at Christmas! Oh, how I want to be in the lobby with the tree and Christmas music right now!
I already purchased tickets from
Undercover Tourist before they raised prices, so we're good to go there. And then just today I booked airfare. It was only 16,500 miles, so I jumped on it. We are flying in and out of Long Beach. I definitely prefer John Wayne (SNA), but they were like 50,000 miles for the same dates! I'll keep checking though and if SNA drops down I'll switch over.
Like I said, I'm really hoping things are ok by then and we can enjoy our trip. Right now I'm just going to pretend they will be and use the planning/dreaming of a wonderful vacation as a distraction to everything else that is going on in the world.
