Thanks jlawall and LiserAnn! I am so excited it is unbelievable! DH really did a good job! We are staying at the Hyatt (on Hyatt points) because we used all our allottment of DVC points on the cruise!!!!!
I haven't been to LA or DL since 1979. DH and kids (DS11, DS8 and DD6) have NEVER been. We are season ticket holders for the Cincinnati Reds, so DH timed it so that we could see the two baseball parks, which is a hobby of ours also besides Disney.
We had friends recently visit the Reagan library and said that it is extremely interesting even for kids. Being a teacher, I thought this would be a good "teaching moment". I know we "can't see it all", but I am wondering how we are going to do with only two days for both CA and DL? I am sure we will wish we had more time, but that's what Disney is all about!
Traffic is a concern of mine. It seems to bring out the worse in my personality. Living in the midwest, I am used to having the road to myself. If someone is in my way, I get frustrated (yes, and say things that make the kids say mmmmooooommm!)! I think I need DH to do the driving..........he's lived in two major cities and is more patient with traffic!
I am excited about seeing games in Dodger Stadium and PETCO Park. I think it will be cool watching a game and seeing the mountain ranges in the distance, being a native Hoosier! Pretty flat here except where we live in the "Southern Hills and Lowlands".
The day we hit San Diego, I think we will take in the zoo. We were just in Orlando two weeks ago for
MNSSHP and went to Sea World there. I have read that the two are VERY similar. Given that, it might be neat to see something else. The Reds game is that night.
The cruise is such a "mystery" and it's killing me! I am anxious to start reading the reports of those who cruise before us. A Dis'er on the chat last night suggested looking at RCCL excursion list. His
travel agent said it would be somewhat similar. I am (obviously) a type A personality, so I am already panicing! Last cruise I got so worked up that DH got on me about just RELAXING! Here it is November and I am stressing!!!
Let's keep this going............
