Ooops! I didn't spell Spartan wrong on purpose - I swear
Hi Lynne,
Thanks so much for the fabulous TR! We leave Wednesday for our first trip to DL and I've taken notes. I would love to copy your trip, but we will just do DL for 4 days,Legoland and Long & Huntington Beaches.
Kindof strange-we have some things in common . . .I'm a WDW vet, our parents liked extra E's (I'm KellEy AnnE and my sister's middle name is LynnE, I'm also in MI and my DD (a miracle after years of hope) is in first grade.
Oh, I absolutely LOVE my D80 too. Your pics have inspired me ... do you shoot RAW or JPEG? I've taken a bunch of classes at the local college and can't wait to try my skills "on location". Did you ask CM's to take your pictures, I mean the ones with you in them? (FYI Our last trip to WDW (11/06) the photographers were using Nikon D70's, I had the D70s at the time so it was a extra perk exchanging tips with a couple of them. Did you notice what camera they were shooting with in DL?
Sorry for blathering on here (and sorry about the Sparten loss today - we were rooting for Blue today - it was close! )
Take care and thanks again!
Wow - I just linked over here from your New Year TR. I am going to have to spend a couple hours reading it but what I have seen so far is , , !!!
I also just came over from you Xmas TR....maybe it will bump up this TR for others to read! I really enjoyed this one...I took a 10K mile cross country trip in 1999 but had to skip Yosemite. It was the exact week there were some murders in the park. Thanks for the pictures..now I know I will have to go back someday!!!
Hi Spartangirl! I randomly ran across your trip report about Disneyland and just HAD to read along!!
My DH and I are very much WDW visitors and are VERY unfamiliar with DL. We are thinking about taking our 1 year anniversary trip to DL this upcoming April and I'm trying to find out more about California! It's all so new and different to me...I feel so lost!
DH and I just sat and read your entire trip report and it sounds like you both had a blast travelling up the coast and making your way to DL! I LOVE your picture-filled trip report!!! Those kind of TR's are my favorite!
We think that we are going to stay on property at DL all week and just have a nice relaxing vacation but we aren't quite sure at this point! I wanted to go to the beach/Hollywood...he doesn't really. Reading your TR kind of helped us see "what else" is out there!! Thank you for writing this very informative and USEFUL trip report!!! The pictures are all very beautiful!
hey, lynne! i owe you an apology. i subbed to this TR LONG ago and i kept putting off reading it, thinking, "oh, it's about DL.......i'll read it later." let me tell you that i just read this entire thing in one sitting! what a great TR!!!!! i'm sorry it took me so long to get over here! and thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. i LOVE the fireworks at DL with tink flying around the castle! and i also love the scene with captain hook and peter pan in fantasmic. SO COOL!!!!!!! i know how long it takes to upload those videos so thank you for doing it! i'm impressed with the amount of tink-ness at DL....i wonder why she's so elusive at WDW???? must be the love bugs.
i also loved reading about your other non-disney adventures. i'm PMing you about those right now!
Thank you for such a great TR,
We are thinking of taking a Calif trip this year, and this is a great resource.
Thank you again
Hello!
I am planning a similar trip for this June and chanced upon your trip report in a search for "yosemite" on the boards. Wow, what a gem! Your pics and vids were awesome, and I loved reading about your trip!
Due to the amount of time we have, we will not be able to make it to LA and Disneyland...we're mostly going to Yosemite, but we are also doing San Francisco and Monterey We keep adding stuff - lol. We may try to throw Tahoe in as well...
I can't wait to taste that chowder in a bread bowl!
What a magical trip you had! The end was so beautiful!
I hope we have your luck with weather and pixie dust!

Oh! Take your kids to Santa Cruz - just a little farther North - Really fun boardwalk with rides and games. The beach is nice, too! Monterey is quite cold, but also artsy and fun.
Just read your enchanting trip report. Thanks for sharing your magical trip with us. I can't believe how beautiful California is & I can't wait for our trip in December.
I love the pics of Yosemite!! What time of the year did you go to Yosemite and what was the weather and crowds like??
Just wanted to say a quick "thanks" for your time and effort on your TR. I had a blast reading and "looking" and didnt realize how quickly time zoomed by reading it. It was alot of fun to follow along!
Lynne,
I loved this TR. thank you for sharing with us. The photos are fantastic. We may possibly make a similar trip in September.
