Well, we made it home safely late last night. We got out of Disneyland just in time as the crowds really picked up by Friday afternoon and Saturday was just horrible.
We really enjoyed our visit to DLR, but feel it will be a few years before we return again. I'm not trying to be negative, but this trip reinforced my feelings that WDW is a total vacation destination, whereas DLR is more of a weekend getaway (but with pricing that equals our costs to visit WDW for a week or more).
The Candy Cane Inn was fine. ...The rooms themselves are adequate but could do with some new carpeting.
We finally made it on the Finding Nemo Submarine ride and it was really cute. They have combined the same ride at WDW with the use of the submarines. This was one of the longest lines we had to wait in but it moved fairly quick.
Overall wonderful time, but we left looking forward to visiting WDW in August.
Wow, I must say I'm surprised to hear that it was as expensive as your WDW vacations. I'm from more in the middle of the country(ok so more west than middle) and even without airfare it's much less expensive for a DLR trip than a WDW one for me.
Just wanted to add congrats on the weight loss!!!
