  2. What is this Disneyland place that you speak of?

    I can't figure out why anyone would ever want to spend time in Disneyland...

    Of course you know I am joking. Hopefully I will get some photos posted later tonight on my blog

  3. i've actually been thinking of doing a "natalie's guide to DL" since I've had so many people ask me for my recommendations, especially with kids - fun to see yours!

  7. Dunkie -

    Nice list! It's fun to see that so many of the things that you've described are things that our family does too.

    I've got to admit, however, that I am not a big fan of Tune Town. In fact, I wish they would tear it out and start over. That said, Gadget's is a fun ride, but only when the park is about to close and you can ride it over and over again without any lines.

    One other thing - Pirates is a great place to catch a 3 minute nap!

    When we this summer, we are actually spending a day at Cal Adventure - something our family has never done!

  9. There is a yellow diamond engagement ring at the jewlery store in New Orleans Square that I fell in love with about three years ago. I try it on every time I go in! Too bad its 30,000 dollars... someday right?

  13. Just a few more days for me and I'll be there again. This will be a different trip. I want to go inside every shop and store, just because I can. Of course we'll ride a few rides too. The Toy Story 3D ride in Cal.Adventure is one of my new favs.
