Have you been to DL before? We really LOVE it and are considering a short stop there this summer. We would be driving though since we mostly want to drive through some of the scenic national parks in Utah and Arizona on the way there and back.....
Keep in mind that a short trip to DL is NOT like a short trip to DW. Everything is MUCH closer together and can be done in a shorter period of time. And I don't think schools out there will be out of session yet, so crowds should be very manageable during the week.
As for the HoJo deals, I think you can get that info over on the DL portion of these boards. You can find lots of helpful info there.
Happy planning! I hope it works out!
I've been to
Disneyland once, when I was 17. Let's just say that was a LOOOONG time ago!
I am hoping I can talk Henry into staying for a whole week and we can do Sea World and Universal Studios, too. They have that citypass that gives you 3 days at Disneyland, a day at Sea World, 2 days at Universal, and a day at the San Diego Zoo! Sawyer MUST go to Sea World while he still loves killer whales! He would LOVE it! I just need to start digitizing more designs so I can afford to pay for it!
I took 2 weeks off, but now I need to get back to work.
I tend to pay around $119-$139 each way from ATL to LAX and just checked and it is at $192 right now. I checked yesterday for MCO, same dates and it was $125/each way. It seems all airfare is up a bit when it had gone back down.
Too bad Tessa isn't out of school. Dallas is out the 21st. Oh wow! I just looked at the calendar, would she miss all 5 days of school? I am guessing that there probably wouldn't be alot going on the last weeks of school in 1st grade so if it is something you would like to do with Henry I wouldn't think twice!
As far as the short trip thought, It always takes us an entire day there and an entire day back but it would be fun no matter what! But I agree with the cost. I don't like to shell out big bucks for a short time.
Yikes, that is so expensive!! I did find a fare from Detroit to San Diego for $244 total. So, I think we might do that! It's on Southwest, so there are no baggage fees, either. That way we can go to Sea World first and then go up to Anaheim.
Hi all
I know its been a while since I've been on here. Life in 2009 got very busy. As a quick recap the year started off with me getting pregnant. Then we decided to put the house on the market (1st of march) and try to move across town. Right as we finally got all the little projects finished to put the house on the market I had a miscarriage (beginning of April). Having the house on th market made sewing challenging. I did a marathon sewing weekend before our trip to CA to get customs ready for Disneyland (pictures coming up) in May. Accepted an offer on the house in late June and had to close the 30th of July. So now we were in full house hunting packing mode. We moved into our new house (bigger and a shorter commute) the 1st of August. Got pregnant again (sticky baby this time - due April 24th 2010). Spent the bulk of the fall in 1st trimester exhaustion and trying to unpack the house and do the 3 million projects required in a 20 year old home. Managed a little sewing for fall and Christmas but not as much as planned. We are now entering 2010 and I am getting ready to start on sewing for the nursery.
I'm very excited because we have another trip planned, unfortunately it is in almost 3 years. We are going to go back to Disneyworld Thanksgiving of 2012 when the new baby girl will be 2-1/2 and Megan will be 6-1/2. I'm very excited. It will hopefully be an extended family vacation with my mom and dad and sister and her family coming too.
I'm so sorry to hear about the baby that you lost.
I'm so glad that you're pregnant again and things are going well!!
What a year you've had! But, the trip to Disneyland looks fun! What great outfits!! I'd love to see a bigger picture of the Buzz Lightyear dress! Daddy/Daughter pictures get me every time- so sweet!
Hello Again!
I finished Isabella's dress last night and her AG dolls this morning. I let each girl pick the top of the CarlaC simply sweet dress. I know we like big pictures, so here we go.
I used a embroidery from Heathersue (Thank you, Heathersue! I think they turned out fantastic!)
Those turned out so cute! I'm always surprised at how cute the appliques look with no fabric behind them! Ariel is a favorite around here, so Tessa will like these dresses!
Love this group! I went and looked but there is really nothing in our area
Hey you!!! I haven't seen you around here in ages!!! I hope you stick around!
wooohoooo for computer at home. Now I can actually see everything posted and not get major squinting wrinkles on my face. I loooooove all the dolly outfits that have been posted. as well as everything else.
SOOOO, its been planned and for sure this time....We will be going to my mom's for Christmas this year, and Santa's going to be taking Peach to DISNEYLAND! Im super excited. She will have NO CLUE... now that is gonna be super hard for me. I need to get on the ball and start planning on outfits. there will only be a few days in the park and some other places maybe Sea World and the San Deigo zoo Im gonna try to talk my mom into
Lego Land. we will see. Beach for sure though. She is only 30 minutes away from the Mouse House.
Now its time to plan a birthday outfit...Peach will be 8 in a month! I can't believe how fast these kids grow up. And then Valentines day outfit. I have seen a few on here already and love them.
I hope to be back on the boards more now that there is a computer in the home. Its still gonna be hectic and crazy for a few months. My room mate couldn't pay her rent in fact she has nearly $1000 in back rent from May of last year.... But she had nothing for Jan. So I sadly had to tell her that she had to move I couldn't keep supporting her with no payback insite. So we will be moving, just not sure where to or when....its gonna be tight tight tight for a bit while my dr decides if I need surgery on my ankles. Ugh.... BUT we will have a great year no matter what!
How exciting about your Disneyland trip! Not so exciting about your roommate, your upcoming move, and surgery. You've got such a great attitude about things, though!

Sorry, I lost the quote, but kept the picture! From what I can see in this little picture (
) this dress looks really pretty!
Wondered where you were but glad you were able to spend time with Henry!
Thanks for the advice. Do you recommend exchanging a few colors for something else with the 50 most popular colors?
I would change out some of the colors. I can't remember which one right off the top of my head. But, I needed more pinks, blues, purples, greens, and browns than they had in the 50 colors assortment. You'll just want to look through the colors they have and see which ones you think you need more of. They give you too much orange, I do remember that!
Have you ever wondered if Disney reads the DisBoards? Well my guess is....Yes they do!!

If you look at the details on the dress you can see that each of us have had a hand in the design of this dress. The design on the pink fabric is the little bird pulling a ribbon (like Heather's dress). The white underneath is sheer (like the dresses that I make). I can't remember who, but someone did the white part coming off of the shoulders. WE WERE CASED BY DISNEY!!
Oh my gosh, they did case us! I think we do it better, though!
and didn't get to do a thing but lay around and whine (about not getting to sew) all weekend. Ha! I am on the mend today and feel much better. Today, I did manage to finish the 2 pillow shams I promised my daughter to finish off the room. Nothing special, just 2 shams with piping around the edges. So nothing to show. 
(probably not for at least 18 months or so) so I have to concentrate on other things right now.
I'm sorry you had to go through such a scare, but that you were able to get the reassurance you needed!!!!!!
