I was thinking about just taking my daughter and mom and I and doing a girls day but the guilt would have killed me that the boys were home and I have been trying to figure out how I could make it to Disneyland and if we could afford it or not. I have been praying and hoping and today things fell into place. My mom is paying for our tickets (we can only go 1 day because of the tournament) and I am paying for the hotel and gas. When I mentioned that I wanted to go, she said YES!!! I am so happy. I am going to tell my daughter that we couldn't get a deal on tickets and that I don't want the boys home and that my husband will be working crazy hours so the boys have to go with us. I am not telling them that we are going to Disneyland until they figure it out when we get there (or probably close to it).

I have been watching the weather and it has been really nice but is supposed to shower on Saturday (which is ok because that is the tournament, as long as it is ok on Friday, I will be happy).

Originally Posted By nevadarebel oops, sorry. We will be there next Friday, the 23rd. We are leaving Vegas around 5:30 so hopefully will be stepping into the parks by 10-10:30.

Originally Posted By nevadarebel ok, I will look for you. I haven't been in toy story, nemo, tower of terror, buzz light year as they all were built after we were there last. 2 more days and we will be there. My daughter now knows but keeps secrets well and won't tell the boys. It will be fun so see their faces when they realize where we are going. They think they are spending the day on the beach.
