I just wanted to check back in with my travel experience. I took the train from the downtown San Diego train station to the Anaheim train station. I took the Pacific Surfliner’s 5:55 AM train. The train was on schedule. I rode in Business Class both ways to guarantee myself a seat, which was good as the car was completely full by the time we had gotten to Anaheim. Most of my fellow passengers were business commuters, heading to Los Angeles. I took a Lyft to the Paradise Pier Hotel, went through security near the ESPN zone. I was at the Disneyland gate by 8:35, had no wait to get in. I waited for “Rope Drop”, at the hub. My return trip was great too. I took a Lyft from the GCH to the train station. I took the 8:54 PM train, which was on time too. I was able to wait inside the train station until the announcement came over the load speakers that my train would be arriving soon. You want to make sure you’re paying attention to the boarding information so you don’t miss your train. This train was fairly empty. We were on time, until we had to stop briefly to let a freight train pass us by. I arrived at the downtown San Diego station a bit late, maybe 15 minutes, but that was fine. I took a Lyft to my downtown hotel. It was a great day! I was in the parks for over 10 hours, which was plenty of time to do what I wanted. I actually rode the train home with a woman who lives in Oceanside, and takes the train often to Disneyland. I would do this again if I ever had the opportunity.
too. I had a few treats
. I watched the Dapper Dans, the parade, performers in DCA, the bell ringers at the GCH, things like that. It was a marvelous “bonus” day for me. I’m so grateful to have been able to go, especially during the holiday season. It will be awhile before I return, so I mostly tried to soak it all in. Thank you for asking!
