The Plan Stan

Most people here know that I am an obsessive planner. I plan EVERYTHING. So I have been going crazy planning our vacation and I think I've got it pretty much tweaked and perfected. I might add some pictures from last 800px-Disneyland_plaqueyear's trip to give it a little flavor.
Needless to say, we WILL be getting up early, but there will be naps in the afternoon. I won't bore you with all the little details of the trip. So I will just hit the highlights. We will arrive in AnaheimPirates of the Caribbean8 around 8:15, get checked in, go over and pick up our tickets and enter the park. We ALWAYS go on Pirates the very first thing. It has become a sweet tradition. Then we will spend the rest of the morning in Disneyland and head over to CA around 10:30. Matt and I will leave around 1 to go and pick up Sheridy from LAX while mom and the kids take a nap. We'll stop at a grocery Celebrate3store and pick up the necessities and get the Baileys all settled into their motel room and head back to Disneyland for the Celebrate Street Party. The next day get up early tour the parks. Have Matt's mandatory breakfast at Riverbelle Terrace. Rainforest CafeDinner at 4:15 at the Rainforest Cafe. Yes, I know it is an early dinner, but we will breakfast late so it all works out. Thursday is our early entry day where we will meet Linsey 100_0178and Jenny's families in the park. Today we will see the Pixar play parade and the celebrate street party. Friday we continue to tour the parks and start saving places for the fireworks at 6:55 for the 9:25 showing that night. Saturday morning Matt and I take Sheridy back to the airport at 6am while mom and the kids head to park around 7:30. We'll meet them there and upgrade to annual passes then spend the rest of the time doing our 100_0570favorites and things we haven't gotten to yet. Sunday we're up at the crack of dawn again 5:30 and on the road heading home. Of course I have a much more detailed plan, but like I said, it is pretty boring.

It's the happiest place on earth and we know how we'll enjoy it! It's good to have a plan. I like having a plan. I'm glad that Abby makes great plans. It's better than wondering around wasting time trying to decide what you're going to do.

It sounds like a plan! There's nothing better than a long fun-filled busy day. You will all collapse at night from exhaustion with huge smiles on your face.

I can't believe it is only a week away. I too am so ready. I am looking forward to basking in the sun and being a kid again. Yippee!! By the way, I love how you plan. The rest of us never have to worry about anything because you have it all covered.
