514

514?  No it's not just a random number.  It's the number of days until we are here

And of course we will have to ride this

A trip to the happiest place isn't complete without a ride on It's a Small World!

I think I've been driving my family nuts with talk of Disney plans.  I think unless you've been there you just don't understand it's magic.  Well, I guess that's not entirely true.  My parents have been there, they took us 6 times when we were little.  In fact I used to get excited when my grandma came down to visit because that meant a trip to see Mickey!  Of course Disneyland was much different almost 30 (good grief  I'm getting old!) years ago.  I don't know why, but Disney is like a drug to me.  

In the United States you can get a 6 day ticket to visit my friend Mickey.  **little tidbit of info for you - if you have a 6 day ticket and you want to go for 7 days, take your ticket to the ticket booth and tell them you want to add a 7th day and it will only cost you about $5 per ticket**  Back to our regularly scheduled program - so we will be getting a 6 day ticket and possibly upgrading it to 7 days.  Still trying to figure out how we are going to fit everything in.  We want to be able to do a day in Los Angeles while we are there, and Medieval Times.  

I've been researching dining options.  Here's what I have so far:

Blue Bayou (how can you resist eating in the Pirates ride??)

Carnation Cafe

Cafe Orleans

Corn Dog from the little red wagon

churro

Dole Whip

Fantasmic Dessert package

Medieval Times (I know not Disney, but still dining)

Pinks (not Disney again, but a must do)

In and out burger (I know, I know, not Disney)

Breakfast with Minnie and Friends (see here's a Disney one!)

If anyone has any suggestions on other must try places, please let me know!

If anyone else is planning a Disneyland or Disney World trip I came across the most wonderful website a few years ago.  There is a lot of information on there about Disney World, not nearly as much about Disneyland, but the people on the boards are nice for the most part and will answer just about any question you have.

Here's the place

WARNING - the site can be addicting!
