    Rancho Del Zocalo enchiladas?

    They're my vegetarian husband's favorite counter service meal at Disneyland Resort! I enjoy them too :) We usually end up with them a couple of times in a trip.

    Are we crazy?

    I agree that those are very long park days, and it may be wise to at least book a room with a good cancellation policy until you decide how long to spend in the parks each day. If you do pull back from a full open-close day and just need a place to unwind for an hour or two, don't forget that...

    Good places for overnight stop between Sac and DLR?

    My husband and I stayed overnight at Harris Ranch once. It was a really relaxing place to spend the evening, a bit more of a "destination" than just a motel to crash for the night, so it may or may not be what you're looking for! We had dinner at their steakhouse and explored the grounds a...

    Day 3: DisneyQuest & Disney Springs (or, In Which Your Friendly Author is Too Sick for Epcot [Which is Really Saying Something]) I ended up feeling really bad after dinner and didn't fall asleep until about 5am, so DH and I decided to go to Epcot Saturday, rather than Friday, trading our...

    Thanks for following along! And thanks for your sympathy... It just added another challenge to the trip ;)

    I know, being sick on vacation is no fun... But I'd rather be sick at Disney than not be at Disney at all! DH is very nurturing when I don't feel well, so he took good care of me throughout!

    Day 2 Continued: I'd done plenty of research on our food options over at the Boardwalk, and had figured that the Trattoria al Forno was the best option for DH. But that was closed for lunch, too :scared: Boy, the Boardwalk sure is pretty, but we were too hungry to enjoy it. By this time we...

    Day 2: Wrapping Up Universal (or, In Which Your Friendly Author Arrives at Disney World) DH and I had decided by the end of Day 1 that there wasn’t actually all that much for us at Universal. The theming outside of Harry Potter wasn’t resonating with us, and we aren’t big on motion simulators...

    Day 1: Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (or, In Which Your Friendly Author Gets Really, Really Sick) Uh oh, foreshadowing! But don’t worry about that for now. We woke up still pretty beat from our long travel day, but ready to get up and at ‘em. DH had a hearty breakfast of waffles...

    Well... you'll hear plenty about what happens when someone who occasionally gets sick on rides decides to persevere and go anyway! I can do roller coasters but Star Tours messes me up. Turns out nearly all the rides I tried fall under the "Star Tours" category.

    Up, Up, and Away! DH is not a big fan of flying. That might be an understatement. So the prospect of spending 6 hours on a plane to get to Florida was not a welcome one. Our travel day started off fortuitously; the shuttle to the airport had to be re-routed since ALL the lanes of the freeway...

    TR: And now for something completely different - a WDW Family did DLR *(new - 4/15: HK Disneyland)*

    Oh I hope you loved Disneyland! I think it's such a different experience from Disney World; I'd hate to have to choose between the resorts!

    I will try! I took lots of stupid picture (i.e., not many of DH and I) but I'm happy to include those :)

    Planning the Disneymoon Sorry in advance: this is going to be a long post! So, I warned you guys that I had more than a year to plan this thing... And let's not talk about the months leading up to actually booking it that I was dreaming! I spent so much time researching restaurants and...

    Yay, thanks for following along! We were so lucky that we have great friends who were as excited about the trip as we were, and wanted to help make it a reality! And I'm so glad we went in October. It was still miserably hot for half the trip, but we got almost no rain, and the other half of...

    Hi guys, first time sharing a trip report anywhere, but this past trip was such a doozy I couldn't help but share with you all! The forums were such a huge help as I planned, I wanted to share a bit of the fun I had! :) My husband and I are big Disney fans; we actually planned a trip to...

    We're 2 Empty-Nesters on the Deluxe DDP! December 2012 trip to Orlando....COMPLETE!!!!!

    Wow, those are some amazing shots of the Castle! So beautiful. And I've never really given much thought to Liberty Tree Tavern, but after hearing your thoughts on it (and seeing those photos) I'm thinking I may have to put that on the "for our next visit" list!

    This is making me so nostalgic for Christmas! I've been telling my husband that our next trip will have to be through the holidays... It's so beautiful! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful photos. Can't wait to hear about MORE FOOD. Maybe I am overly motivated by food, but it's always a...

    Thanks for all of the photos! I'm so excited to see "new" (not so new anymore!) Fantasyland for the first time this October. Now you've got me hungry for cupcakes ;)
