That tour sounds like GOLD! Should be a lot of fun and you might as well see a few extra things while you are there and soak up the Hollywood culture. Know you will have a blast.
Thanks!! I would never have thought in a million years that you need tickets for a Rose Bowl parade. It is something I have never thought of doing before but now that we get to do it I'm very excited.Congrats to your nephew! We might actually be at the Rose Bowl. After crazy Christmas at DLR, we are staying with family for a few days, and DS is going to try to get tickets and meet us down there. Not sure what it takes to attend the parade. Disneyland is way laid back. Most of it will feel very familiar, but just enough differences to make it unique. WAY less planning needed.

I'm excited for that day!!The tour sounds amazing. It may be one more thing I need to add to my wish list, if I ever make it back to Southern California. My one visit to Disneyland/Knotts berry Farm/Sea World was in 1979 when my roommate from college husband was stationed in San Diego and he was out to sea so I went and spent three weeks with her.
Thanks I will definitely share details!Lesley, that tour sounds amazing! I cannot wait to read all about what and who you end up seeing!!
We are so excited about it! Yeah, glad lunch is INCLUDED with the price of the tour. Lauren REALLY wants to see a celebrity when we are in Cali : )13 DAYS!!!! I'm excited for you! The tour sounds really fun! We have spent alot of time down in that area, as we are from one state away, Oregon, and have family down in the Orange area - 10 min. away from DLR. A few years ago, we went to Beverly Hills for lunch, and parked in the neighborhood right in front of one of the cute homes there. It looked just like the house in the "Troop Beverly Hills" movie. We had lunch on a terrace across from the Beverly Wilshire - pretty sure I saw a famous athlete hanging out on the balcony in the Penthouse suite. It was a great place to visit - except that lunch for the 4 of us was $200 without tip. We have also been to the theatre to see Wicked right down on Hollywood Blvd, and shopped a the mall directly across from the Kodak Theatre - watched a Red Carpet Premier goings on of "Under the Tuscan Sun" Fun to just see who might be there or know that stars are all around. Hope you have a fantastic time!
So glad you found us again. Our local school did the same thing this year and I helped people plan their trips everyone had a wonderful time! Glad my TR will be able to help you with your plans : )I too haven't been on the DIS in years!! I remember reading your past reports. We are planning our first Disneyland Trip this year as well. Going Dec 30-1/7/17. Not an ideal time to go but we are going with DH family. His 15 yr old nephew was selected out of 300 kids to march in the Rose Bowl parade with the Rose Bowl Honors Band and going to be able to watch the Rose Bowl Parade in person and get to see the floats. We will also get a tour but that hasn't been announced yet. That trip is 12/30-01/4/17 and it includes 2 day Disneyland park hoppers. I am making my husband stay later after that group trip so we can get more Disneyland time in Can't wait to read the details. Disneyland is foreign to me
It's actually not THAT bad. It was around $500 for the four of us : )Omg. That tour sounds amazing! Trent would love being able to get that close to the Hollywood sign. I am afraid to even look up what that your costs. Can't wait for a review
Thanks for joining/posting!Can't wait for more!
I will share ALL the details : )That tour sounds great! Can't wait to hear about it!
Thanks so much! I know, growing up WAY too fast!!!How can that young lady be our little Lauren who got lost at MK? Or that young man be Luke who helped raise the flag at WL? Beautiful family pic!
Have a great trip!
So glad you found us again. Glad you had a good time in Disney, being that close to MK is great. Yes, we had a GREAT time, starting the report tonight! : )Joining in. I have seen the FB posts so keeping up that way but as far as the TR, I had no idea. Funny thing is, I was looking back through my watched threads today and saw your 2011 TR there. I am fairly certain I read that one but saw you had a 2012 one so I started reading it which, of course, led me to here. I was wondering if you were still here on the Dis!
We just returned from WDW two weeks ago. Hadn't been since 2012 but going back next June, too. AKV was on my short list for that trip (saw it in your 2012 report) but ultimately decided on VWL (or Boulder Ridge I think it's called now) due to proximity and the boat ride to MK.
Anyway, today is your last day so I hope you guys had a wonderful time! Looking forward to the report!
Thanks Sooze, you are too sweet. So funny, I didn't even notice her standing like that in the pic until you said it, it's so typical Lauren : )Your family is so beautiful! (I love Lauren's ballet fourth position.. such a diva!) It has been a blast watching our kids grow-up (mostly virtually, but still fun!) together.
Can't wait to start hearing all about your trip!
