My DH and I are really looking forward to our Southern California & Backstage Magic ABD trip Nov. 1 - 6, 2015. Anyone else on this trip?

@sayhello, feel free to keep them updated. Those are your threads and I no have desire to take those away from you. You put too much time and effort into gathering/curating all of that information.

3 more hours until we are out of here and start the long trek from Southern Ontario to LA!

Driving to Buffalo tonight, flying from Buffalo to Baltimore tomorrow morning and then Baltimore to LAX. Going to Universal Sunday, can't wait to meet up with everyone at the welcome dinner!

 

[White Rose]

We are flying out tomorrow morning from PHL...checking in to an airport hotel, then off to the Loews!

 

[Dreamer Kevin]

We're leaving from RDU tomorrow. We'll see you there!

 

[White Rose]

We are going to the Tar Pits and the Roosevelt Hotel on Sunday...

On a recent trip to WDW we asked a VIP tour guide what the Tower of Terror's hotel design/color/style was based on...yup! The Roosevelt! I like haunted/spooky historic places. Apparently it's 'haunted by the ghost of Marilyn Monroe'...if you believe in those kind of stories.

How exciting!!

 

[White Rose]

Leaving for our flight in a few minutes..it was delayed for 2 hours but the delay is back down to one hour...sigh.

When we went to CA the last time this sort of thing happened, and by the time we got to the airport the flight was cancelled...we lost our first class seats (paid with points), and had to go on another airline. By the time I got off the plane, I had a head cold that turned into bronchitis, and I do not remember much of the trip because I spent it on various types of cold remedies. To make matters worse, I gave my cold to my hubby, and he spent the trip sick, too. During the trip our rental car lost it's transmission, and had to spend part of one day dealing with that as well. I am very glad that we won't have to worry about driving on this trip, that was a nightmare.

(That trip was "Southern CA" that included San Diego Zoo and wild animal park, Sea World, Universal, and Disneyland. I don't remember much of anything.

Just booked the ABD Southern California tour for 8/14/16-8/19/16 for me (Carol) and my daughter (Sydney-11). I'm not sure if this roll call is being updated. If so, please add us to it or direct me to the proper roll call for this ABD.

 

[sayhello]

Just an FYI for anyone taking this ABD in the foreseeable future:

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-disneyland-star-wars-20151226-story.html

He're's an excerpt:

Disneyland to close some attractions to build 'Star Wars' land

To make way for "Star Wars," Disneyland is about to launch its largest expansion ever, which means shutting down a significant chunk of the Anaheim theme park.

In January, 10 attractions and eateries will close — some temporarily, some permanently

Sayhello

 

[ketwinn]

Is there anyone booked for August 14th 2016?

 

[lilmissfoodie]

I'll be on the Oct 23rd trip. When do we find out who from TheDIS will be joining us?

 

[Pawleys4]

We went on this ABD trip last fall and it was absolutely awesome! It far exceeded our expectations! For any real Walt fan, this trip is a must! Our Adventure Guides Christian and Christina were the best, and each of our fellow adventurers really added something to the group (ours was an adult-only week). My husband and I have traveled to Europe, Scandinavia, Caribbean, etc, but I can truly say this was one of the most wonderful vacations I have ever taken.

According to the list in the first post for your trip, it will be John and Kevin. I have done two BSM with them. They are great to travel with.

Ahhh, it's on the DIS Adventures board...Hmmm, just talked to John and he said he wasn't scheduled to go but would crash the trip if I reminded him. I'm definitely hoping to meet Kevin and John.
