Seriously, if it was an embarrassing story to me, I wouldn't mind, but it's embarrassing to my sister, and so not cool to tell without her okay. Which she would NEVER give.

I want to get Sticky Stuck™ on EVERY ride!

We leave at 4 in the morning and drive to Disneyland, check-in, and head to Disneyland, entering on the right side. We always start on Space Mountain and work our way around counter-clockwise...riding Buzz, Matterhorn, Peter, Thunder, Splash, HM, Pirates, Indy, and Jungle Cruise. We then head over to DCA for the afternoon to ride Soarin, Tower, Toy Story, and Screamin. Time for a nap. Then we head back to Disneyland in the early evening making our way back around with the collected fastpasses. Napa Rose is also a must for my family! As well as clam chowder, dole whips, Bengal BBQ, and churros!! Ah I want to go back already!

If I had any sense of disipline, I'd do the same thing. Unfortunately, there's always something to distract me (after all, I'm a tourist - I've turned my brain off at the gate!). >I don't want to study for midterms anymore so I will do this instead...< Thanks for spending the time. Now, GET BACK TO STUDYING!!!!
Originally Posted By Jenn31 I like your itinerary too! Very organized which will maximize your fun time! You know, I have never ever had clam chowder when I go to Disney. Is it really good? Something I should try?
Originally Posted By mouseymom I have a routine I like to follow when we get to the park. I love to go directly onto the train for a trip around the park, then walk down mainstreet and head for Pirates. That ride just sums up the park. I also have to ride the canal boats at night and do Peter Pan at least once before we are done. At the last thing is to buy a special Christmas ornament that represents that trip. Every year when the ornaments come out my kids and I rehash all of the memories from that trip. Disneyland memories realy do last!

In fact, I bet she's lurking here now. I just know it. I've said too much already! I'd just sort of like to keep my family jewels, thank you very much.

Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM We go for 6 days at a time...this year it will be 7. We are at the gates by 7:15 am, and we never leave the park until the shops close on Main Street. So, since we aren't pressed for time, our plan is to have no plan what-so-ever. We go in whatever direction our eyes or ears or tummies take us. We wander aimlessly until one of us says, "Let's do that." Then, we do that. We bounce from park to park on a whim. We'll get off Indy, DH will say, "I want a rita", and off we go to DCA. DD will say the she wants to ride Screamin'. She'll hit the single rider line and ride for over an hour straight. By the end of the week, we have ridden everything, seen everything and eaten everything...more than once.
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE We really do the same thing as you Mollysmom , except we always start out at indy...it carries great memories from our very first visit, just a nice way to start, even if it is closed sometimes right away, we go straight to pirates and then continue on, hitting it again later in the day....out of 10-12 days we will Ride our Dream of Indy first thing in the morning... : )
Originally Posted By RockyMtnMinnie Most of my traditions now are the ones that I've created with DS. The biggest one is we ALWAYS start the trip with a ride on Space Mountain. Also our favorite train on Big Thunder Mtn is UB Bold. We will jump up and down and cheer every time it comes into the station. Of course people look at us funny, but that is their problem, not ours. When we get to ride UB Bold it is even better.
