Those french toast sticks looking great and I can't wait to hear about your tour!
We're back from our trip and of course had a great time It's interesting seeing your updates now that I've been there. I agree that the Fairfield Inn was a good place to stay. I'm thinking about starting a trip report as well, but just haven't had time yet. Getting acclimated back at work after vacation always sucks
Congrats on your engagement!! I actually just started reading your report and completely caught up with it today
We are WDW natives going to DL for our first time next February and can't wait! Your trip report is getting me really excited to go now!!
Congratulations on your engagement Jenn and Kevin!
I'm still reading along on your TR....learning so much about Disneyland, thanks!
And now to the important stuff - the rides! As you probably know, part of the tour includes being led onto a selection of rides without waiting in line. I knew of a few possibilities from researching, but knew that it was a toss-up on what we would actually get to experience. Our first ride would be.............
Well would you look at that, lunch break is over! Sorry to leave you with a cliffhanger - I promise I'll be back soon to continue our tour (and no, not in another 3 months - sheesh)
Hey, I'm here!
So you liked the Fairfield? It looks nice, and when we go we'd like something within walking distance. How long did it take you to walk to the parks?
Indiana Jones looks like a fun ride - good choice to start with. I can't wait to try it!
And Wow, the building that the Haunted Mansion is in looks so different than Florida, but so beautiful! You really got a lot done that first day!
I'm surprised places in DTD don't open for breakfast earlier than 8am - you'd think there would be a good number of people wanting to get breakfast in plenty of time before the park opens.
I think you look really cute in your ears!
Wow, that is high praise for a counter service lunch! It definitely makes me want to check it out. I love pasta so now I'm dying to try what you had.
We love thrill rides too, but I think I would do a non-swinging gondola. It just sounds so scary!
Yayyyy, engagement! I know it's old haha but I love seeing the pic!
I hope you come back and update again soon, because I'd love to hear more about the Walt's Footsteps tour!
Victoria didn't go into the details, but I believe these next two pictures were remnants of an old ride. She said something along the lines of they were left behind as reminders of what they had been, and to remind them that the park was ever-changing and always progressing. https://flic.kr/p/fpTnKyCalifornia 2013 389 by elphie101, on Flickr https://flic.kr/p/fpTnuhCalifornia 2013 390 by elphie101, on Flickr

I'm really enjoying your trip report! You're an excellent writer. I'm just in the beginning stages of planning my first trip to DLR in Oct. I was so happy to read about your engagement! Eagerly awaiting next installment...
What shoes do you wear for touring the parks?

A-freaking-dorkable, if I do say so myself.
Go on and kiss de girl.
Thanks for the pictures of Club 33 and Walt's apartment. (What you were allowed to get.) I'm thinking that I may have to do this tour if and when I ever get out there.
Hi! Just joining in but I LOVE it so far.
The tour sounds amazing! I really need to get a Disneyland trip planned asap.
Congratulations on your engagement!
I don't know if you'll think to come back here, but we did love Fairfield. I would say it was about a 10 minute walk from our rooms to the park entrances (a little longer to go back since we had to go through the lobby to return). My memory is a little fuzzy on the time, but Google Maps is telling me it's a 0.4 mile walk so that sounds about accurate.
Have you formally started planning a trip yet?
