Number Crunching!!
Leaning toward just 6 nights (meaning the 22nd through the 28th) to save money. $370 is more souvies PLUS a character meal (if we choose). Plus, I'd rather not have everyone rushing to pack and leave on a Friday. *shrugs* Anywho. Also thinking we'll just do a package on DL.com and then have them connect the reservations (since we're doing 2 rooms)...it's only $131 more than booking hotel and tix seperate. And we'll get luggage tags, lanyards, a collectors pin, character calls, preferred seating to certain shows, and EMH (I know it's not called that at DL
).
Total for 6 night package (with 6 day park hoppers, this could go down if we decided to do just 5 day hoppers, we'll see) is 3532.24...so $1766 per family/couple. Not too shabby I think. *shrugs*
Now the only thing I have to wait on to price is flights. Won't be able to price those till early to mid next month. Oh well. Least I am getting SOME planning and research done.
By the way...anyone know if there is an outside stroller rental company in that area? I know that Orlando has OrlandoStroller Rental...which is cool. But, I was wondering if there was anything like that for Disneyland? Cause I'm thinking we'll end up taking a stroller with us if there isn't. My kiddo, while he can walk long distances just fine, does not do well with loads of crowds. I think it's because he's little and the feeling of being in a crowd of tall people (even holding our hands) scares him. But, my other option is this. Has anyone here used it? Seen it? Or at least tested it out? DS will be 5 when we go...and right now he's about 42 inches tall...so I don't want to spend the amount of money on it, if he's not going to want to use it or is too tall to use it.
Ok. That's the update for tonight.

! And it would have been nice to be able to replan to go the week before (perhaps save some money on the hotel at the very least). But alas, it was not meant to be. Seems kind of crazy to me that the school district has chosen those two weeks as Winter Break. I mean this year, they had off the week before and the week OF Christmas...and then had a half week off the week of New Years (well, the kids did at least).
