However, this gave us more time to stea-, er save money go take this very expensive trip. Our last trip was to Disney World over Christmas and New Years 2014-2015, so technically we have done Disney (or a cruise) every year since 2009. I had also driven along the coast, and my husband agreed we could add that to the trip. I also had a biological cousin living in California I had never met, and this might be the best opportunity to meet up, since we are from central Pennsylvania. And of course, this would be an opportunity to revisit Disneyland, since we were traveling all that way.

For a while, we toyed with the idea of doing the NCL cruise, but decided against, planning to stay at Aulani the whole time. My husband, ever eager to plan our next Disney vacation was quick to agree. I am very nostalgic, and I had these great memories of beautiful scenery. I had been when I was in 7th grade many years ago with my parents.

Our plan for the trip was to fly to Hawaii, spend 10 days at Aulani fly to Oakland California and take two days to drive down the coast and then drive to Disneyland to spend 5 days in the parks, and 1 day at Knotts Berry. We used to have a turtle, but he ran away from home. We also have two dogs, two cats, 5 fish, and 1 hermit crab.

Me: part-time church secretary, scrapbooker, master procrastinator, loves to travel and luckily doesn't get car sick (unlike other of my family members!) I have been to 49 states, and am waiting to travel to Alaska to fulfill my goal! This trip was to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.ĭS: Just turned 16, got his license and a girlfriend right before we left, asked to be left home as he didn't want to miss jazz band camp, and growing up too fast.ĭD: 15 years old, a sweetie, unfortunately suffers from motion sickness, loves to watch youtube for hours. He works in the banking industry but lives to travel to Disney, be it Disney World, Disneyland, or Disney Cruises. Then in 2009, we planned our once-on-a-lifetime trip (yeah, right!) and DH found his calling: master Disney planner, scrounger of monies, and Dis addict. For years I was a stay-at-home mom, and the budget was tight.

Hopefully, this trip report will help others with what we learned along the way.ĭH: Both DH and I had been to Disney World in our younger years, and honeymooned there. Much thanks to Captain_Oblivious, MarbleBob, and others who have shared their experiences, good and not-so-good. So you can see I was a little leery of joining the DisboardsĪnyway, I have been grateful to many posters on here who I have stalk- er, studied carefully to glean tips for our trip. The first night I did, I kinda forgot I was cooking supper at the same time, and managed to burn supper, fill the house with smoke and activate the fire alarm.

Hey, I don't like to rush things, okay? I took years to decide to make a Facebook account. I am a longtime disboards lurker and occasional poster under my DH's name who decided to grow up and make her own account.
