Travel 
me, DH and DS 8 and DS 11.
Our adventure started on Thursday 12/14/06, this would be the last day of school for winter break for my boys. I told them they had doctors appt. and would be going to school later. They were up early dressed and ready to go. I told them they could open one gift before we left home. Well, that just happened to be the gift that had a game boy micro wrapped in a disney themed coupon that said your going to Disneyland today. They were very shocked, got it all on video.
Day 1: 12/14
Travel into LAX smooth trip, picked up rental car then onto DTD. We had dinner at Ralph Brennas very good. Went to Lego store shopping and Build a bear to build a Minnie Mouse. Minnie also got a Mulan change of cloths.
We spent the night at Anaheim comfort Inn, it was nice clean and comfortable. The cont. breakfast included cereal, apples, oranges, danishes, waffles, boiled eggs, toast, juice, coffee. Coming from the central time zone was a big advantage, we were up at 4am which felt like 6am to us so we were waiting at the gates each morning.
Day 2: 12/15
Breakfast at Comfort Inn at 6:15 am arrived at the Disneyland Hotel for 7am check in. Left bags and headed to the park. The park opened at 8am, we where the first people to ride Autotopia, did a few more rides, no lines did Buzz Lightyear. When exiting Buzz there they were the dream team with DREAM FASTPASSES
for us all. What a moment! Attendance was quite low this day, we didnt even need to use fastpass. We watched the Christmas parade at 3:30pm had dinner at Blue Bayou at 5:20pm and then had riverside seating for fantasmic at 9pm. We watch the fireworks as we moved towards Main Street. This was a very busy day for us, tons of fun.
Day 3: 12/16
Stopped for muffins and OJ at the coffee shop at DLH and on to DL early entry 7am we were there at about 6:45am. First in line at gate 14, (there were others in line at other gates) A nice gentleman walks up to us at the gate with a bright red book in his hand and asks if we would like to be Honorary Citizens of Disneyland and open the park with the count down. How cool that was, something we will never forget. Had a full breakfast at carnation café.
All rides were walk on, no lines went over to CA, did some rides and saw Aladen. We went back to the hotel for a nap. This turned out to be a rainy cold windy day. We never made it back to park. We had dinner at Mimmis the food was great we were stuffed. After dinner I went to DTD alone to do some me shopping.
Day 4: 12/17
Nice day
, around 63 degrees. Drove 
down the coast to Legoland (Carlsbad). We stopped at the beach coming and going, watched the surfers, saw the sunset on the return. This was our first time on the Pacific coast. Words cant express the beauty of it all. Joes Crab shack for dinner.
Day 5: 12/18
No rain, but cold. We were at the gate at 7:30am. Did the character breakfast at Plaza Inn, walk in. The food was great, it was nice and warm. We did the Toontown early entry. We had a late lunch at House of Blues (DTD) and late dinner at Naples (DTD). We saw the electric light parade. The crowds did pick up by midday but it was not too bad. At 10pm my family went to pack to the hotel. I went back into DL to shop and shop and just soak it all in for the last time until midnight.
Day 6: 12/19
Breakfast at Dennys and then to LAX. LAX, madhouse.
My thoughts, we have been to WDW 3 times in a row and I really like DL. More is not always better.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
