I adore Brussel spouts!!!!
Awesome and Glad to have you.
Have you stayed at the GCV? You are going to love them! Have a fabulous trip.
Yes, we have, a couple of times, and we're very happy to be going back!!
Yes!!Aren't the one bedrooms so spacious?!
Looks like you had a pretty chill first day. It rained pretty good for So Cal that day. I would love to go to Walt's Wharf one day. I've checked out the menu and it looks great!
Its really so good. The bread at the Original Fish Company in Los Al is better but Walt's is comparative plus their oak grilled artichoke is waaaaayyyyy amazing! Both their New England and Manhattan chowders are delicious. We'll be out in March, all off property split between Seal and Cypress so lets plan on it.
Sounds cool! We've been to the original Fish Co quite a few times. King's used to be our go to place, but we weren't as happy with them last time we ate there.
I'm excited to hear about how your trip went!
OK, we arrived last night, and I'm embarrassed to say I did not remember that the 1-bedrooms in this DVC resort have TWO bathrooms with TWO toilets!! DD said "there are 2 showers" but I was more excited by the fact that there are 2 toilets! We really wanted a 2-bedroom (DD is sleeping on the under-TV pullout and it's OK but not great) but I know we are SO lucky to have gotten even this 1-bedroom at exactly 7 months.Aren't the one bedrooms so spacious?!
July too, maybe to live.
Our plan was to go to Legends on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore. It’s where DH and I actually met.
I love the little quirky stores that sell fun things. I also love the little quirky stores that serve booze while you shop.
Nothing chaps me more than paying outrageous amounts for parking and I feel $12 an hour is lunacy. Its’ Disney, I get it but per hour? No thanks!
We also popped into the Disneyland Hotel to check out their gingerbread house
Nice to read that you had a nice first day. That is good that you got to eat at your favorite restaurant during the trip.
On your second day, it seems you all had a good time with the shopping and getting to Anaheim safely. The DTD parking fee is crazy.
Looking forward to your latest updates.
How nice you slept like an angel on this vacation. Your shopping trip sounds great! So cute it is where you and DH meet. Lol re working as a waitress in a cocktail bar..
Nice photos. Glad your team won the game. What is this? State owned liquer stores? I can't get my head around that. Here in the UK you buy it off the shelf in any supermarket. If have to be 18 or over but it's got an aisle of it's own. Wine, beer , spirits. Plus corner stores etc.
How nice going to DTD but they charge after 2 hours? I keep waiting for the new lime and orange garages at Disnet Springs to hurl this at us.
Nice to check in to your hotel! Trader Sam's how I love your Tiki theme in America.
Finally I understand what you meant by "separation of church and state" in your picture from Vons in the last update. I didn't realize that the Mormon church runs the state. I know about near beer and plenty of other states have whacky liquor laws like Massachusetts.
You guys certainly did a lot of shopping on that day. Does Legends allow minors inside? I've never been there.
Nice you got a little Trader Sam's in before your Disney part of the trip got off the ground!

Great update! Lots of shopping; I love the place that lets you drink while you shop!
Does DtD still allow you to park more than 2 hours if you eat at an on-site restaurant?? We used to do that, so we'd have about 5 hours (I think) to go to a park. Surprisingly, we can self-park at VGC for free as DVC members.
Just found your trip report and I'm really enjoying it so far (haven't caught up yet)! We are also from Utah, and just purchased APs for the first time. We recently returned from our DL trip (stayed December 4th-8th) and I completely agree that Disney magic is exactly what we needed to lighten our hearts after a really upsetting November.
That sounds exciting.
It is nice that you got to take a trip down memory lane.
I am with you about the quirky stores. In all the times I have been in Seal Beach, I have never come across stores that serve booze.
That is insane.
Do they have a real one now? In 2014, it was fibreglass.
