Anyway Disneyland was great , the grandkids have graduated to big thunder and pirates rides so that was much more fun, They really enjoyed getting involved with the wandering pirates and singers we got great shots of them dancing and fighting with the pirates.. It was overall a great trip and as usual we had a great time.. Disneyland is a great place to meet and have fun with your kids or grandkids because everything changes and it brings out the silly in all of us.. any questions just ask but just remember plan a budget then double it and you will be okay.. nothing like 6 churros and 6 drinks for 36.00 to brighten a day but I just smiled and payed ..

It was cold that nite and I bought sweatshirts for all and we took them to the littles store on main street by that madhatter and had our names embroidered on them.. They really looked neat and the Gkids loved this and frankly it did look cool.. We ate at Goofys Kitchen and they messed our pictures up and we had to have them retaken , they never brought them to the table but we finally got our new ones.. Wednesday we went to KNOTTS and walked on every ride not very crowded at all...

Originally Posted By hayden No not at the madhatters when you enter main street there is a Mad hatters on the right hand side in a corner just to the left of it is a store with a embroidery shop they do coats , sweatshirts or anything they will tell you if they can do it the great part is its 7.98 for a small name or 7.98 for a 4 inch tall name on the back of a coat , you have to leave the items usually for a couple of hours but then you do not have to carry them.. WE have used this shop the last two years its not well known so its just between you and me. LOL
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains Not sure if it still a policy - but about a year ago they would only put the name (or whatever) on the item if it was still sold in the park - I was told this was so if they made a mistake they could get another sweatshirt or whatever and do it again.
Originally Posted By hayden I bought my g son's coat at ca adventure and they did that but yes they will only do stuff bought at the disneyland parks or resort. But the g kids loved that we all had matching sweatshirts and he would tell everyone we met that we were all together, people were great and would listen then look at us and say things like stand together why yes you do look all alike and wow names on everything. Any way thanks to all making my Grandkids day...Disneyland was great, Knotts was fun but not as great just rides , dont get me wrong we had a great time but 6 hours and we were done...Ca adventure was alright we would go over everyday and ride some things but we did not hang out there, oh yeah there some hillbilly singers by the rapids ride and they pulled the grandkids in to sing and dance what a riot and great pictures..
