Disneyland, Here We Come!

Okay so what do you do when your entire family seriously needs a getaway and you have limited time and funds… Go to Disneyland. Where else can you go to get some Fantasyland?

We picked up some passes at Costco (4-day pass each at $200) That includes a $50 gift certificate good for food or stuff so 4 days at $38 a day. We invited a teenage friend along for “the Kid”, secured a room at the Ramada Inn (pool & spa,  breakfast included) directly across the street from the park and are now set to leave for 5 days of childish silliness and R & R next week.

Okay, it isn’t Hawaii or a trip to Europe. But it’s local goof off time and a much needed break. We will be taking two computers with us. So if something fabulous should come across our desk, you’ll hear about it.

Though “the Kid” somehow ends up going every year, we haven’t been to Disneyland as a family in 10 years. Looking forward to seeing California Adventure and some of the newer rides. Haven’t tried this “Fast Pass” thing yet either.

We’re not headed out till 8/1. So if you have any advice for getting the most out of our visit to the park? Send it along…
