We Moved to Disneyland!! Now What ? Stories from New DLR Locals - Updated 1/15

[Sherry E]

Perhaps they booked on the cruise that just went from San Diego to Vancouver and then their landlord sold the condo and they HAVE to move. I'm in the middle of a move and it's pretty stressful, but we own both the properties. I can't even imagine if there was an outside force setting our deadline to move.

Here we are all making up stories about what is going on!

I know! It's all a big mystery and we have to put the pieces of the puzzle together!

Yes, moving is horrible. I've had to move in the past when someone else set the deadline, which was bad, but I wasn't moving out of state. That seems like it would be 100 times worse.

They are on a cruise to Alaska as we speak. And it looks like they are moving too.

Well, the cruise part of whatever is going on sounds like it's a great thing! The rest... I guess we'll find out?

According to her Instagram they're moving back to Boulder.

Will the title of this TR suddenly change to, "We Moved to Boulder! Now What?" ??

I am hoping that the move is somehow for good reasons and not for bad ones, although it certainly seems as though it may have been unexpected as of a couple of months ago? They had barely even been settled for very long.

(Don't mind us, Taylor and Tracy -- we'll just continue discussing you while you're not here!)

I hope whatever it is that has happened is not so bad that it puts a dampener on them having a fun cruise. Whether planned or unplanned I always find moving an unpleasant experience so I have sympathy for you both on that.

Taylor and Tracey, I just want to say that no matter what, you have this great big thread full of wonderful, caring and sympathetic friends who are all on your team and wishing you nothing but the best!

PS on a purely selfish note, I will miss the Crookshanks updates..

 

[PrincessInOz]

Good luck TnT. You're a dynamite couple. Hope everything works out for you. :hugs:

 

[Pesky]

PS on a purely selfish note, I will miss the Crookshanks updates..

I have to agree and am secretly hoping Crookshanks makes the move too...

 

[Caboosey]

Is that where Taylor and Tracy are? On a Disney cruise? Or are they moving (which was the conclusion I came to after reading DharmaLou's above post)? Or both?

Taylor said a couple of weeks ago in this thread that things had not been great, but that he didn't want to go into details on the Internet and that he wouldn't get back to this TR for at least a month.

...But a Disney cruise sounds pretty great to me...so I am confused! I hope they're on a cruise. That sounds like a lot of fun, and I would be curious to read about how it all came about because I don't think it has been mentioned in this thread (or has it and I just missed it)??

I follow them on Instagram, and they're on a cruise to Alaska right now. Don't know anything else about the move or whatever.

Gotta love a good mystery ...

I do hope all is ok, and I will certainly miss their updates if it is true that they are moving away. Anyway, whatever is going on in their lives I wish them all the very best.

I just happened upon this TR and I've had a really great time reading it. Taylor, you're a wonderful writer and I loved the detail and following your story and your guys' dream. I was especially enthralled with all the posts about the D23 expo... I had no idea about how huge it was or the types of panels but it sounds awesome and I may try to find my way to make it to the 2015 one based on your report!

That said, I hope everything is okay and resolves itself. Thank you for writing this and I hope you'll continue to share updates in the future!

Hope everything is going well with you guys also. I really love this thread and I wish I had the courage at your age to make that big move.

Real Life Update – June 30, 2014
So…


I won’t leave you in too much suspense when it comes to the question I’m sure you’re all wondering about. Yes, we decided to steal the cat and bring him with us. Okay, “steal” is the wrong word. We actually asked the woman who fed him in CA whether she would be okay with us taking him, and she was glad that he would have the opportunity to have a good home. Crookshanks is now completely an indoor cat—a fact that he was very mad about for a week but has now seemingly gotten used to.

​

This was exactly what I was curious about!

I'm glad you're both ok and I'm looking forward to reading the final entries into this TR and also your new one on the cruise.

Thanks for taking the time to write about your adventures, I sure have enjoyed the ride!

On a side note, I have just finished watching the first season of Nashville and loved it ... I always enjoyed hearing what you and Tracy were watching.

So glad things are working out for you both, well 3 of you including Crookshanks . It's great you will still be able to visit Disney on a fairly regular basis. Whatever happens you had a great experience of having Disney as a neighbour for 18 months and made some amazing memories there. Best of luck with this new chapter in your lives xx

 

[Luisa]

I'm so glad to hear you're both happy and all is well and so excited you got to take Crookshanks with you!

 

[AussieMumma]

I'm so glad things are looking up for you both, and fantastic news about Crookshanks!!
I'm heading straight over to your cruise thread

 

[Daisybelle]

Sorry to hear that you had a rough start to your year! I'm glad you are settling into your new life and still have Disneyland trips to look forward to.

I look forward to your Disney adventures on your new blog!

 

[sanibel93]

Good luck to you and Tracy back in Colorado. Glad you will still be going to Disneyland once in awhile. Thanks for your blog on Disneyland. It made our first trip to Disneyland more enjoyable because of what I learned from it.

Taylor --

I'm so glad you checked in here with us! It's good to know that you and Tracy are happy with the Colorado move and feel that it was the right decision (despite being excited about "moving to Disneyland," not so very long ago). I think that we would all hate to imagine that you had to move against your wishes. The fact that you guys are okay with the move is a relief!

I also think it's wonderful that you will still be able to come out to Disneyland fairly often throughout the year, and that it will remain a big part of your lives. Just in case you don't get here during Halloween Time or the holidays again this year, at least you were able to experience both seasons during your time in Anaheim, and you will again at some point in the future.

I know you were planning on ending this TR thread with your December 2013 adventures (and I can't wait to read about your DLR holiday experiences), but I wouldn't be at all opposed to seeing a few Disneyland Springtime Roundup/Easter 2014 photos -- if you and Tracy were able to go to DLR for the Springtime/Easter festivities before getting caught up in moving and your cruise and all of that. I don't know if you saw it, but back in April I posted here that your 2013 Easter egg hunt photos inspired me to take on the egg hunts in both DL and DCA this year, and I loved them! I also spent a bit of time at the Springtime Roundup and gazed in awe at the "egg art," but I feel like I also didn't get to see as much of the Roundup and the egg art as I would have liked to see, so hopefully you went there and took photos!

In the meantime, I will bookmark your Wordpress blog and I will subscribe to your Disney Cruise TR thread!

 

[tlenzendorf]

Glad to hear from you! What are your Instagram names? I want to see your pics!

 

[franandaj]

Well, I'm glad to know that you and Tracy are happy and safe back in Boulder, but I'm sorry that I never got to meet you out at DL. I'll look forward to hearing about the rest of 2013 in your reports.

 

[Disneyluvr]

Taylor, so glad you came and updated. It's good to hear that you and Tracy are well. It's been a great ride living out your adventures with you and I hope you continue to update every once on a while. Can you post your instagram again?

 

[BirdyGirl85]

I'm glad you and Tracy are happy with your decision to move back to Colorado, and that you got a pet kitty out of all of this. I'm sure it was hard to move away from Disneyland, but I'm sure it is nice to back with friends and family again. I know I miss my mom and her dog in Oregon. Hopefully your next Disneyland visit wont be too far in the future. You two still have valid AP's?

 

[Dizzy4DL]

I'll admit that I had some idea of this as I follow you on Twitter. And while I'll miss your regular DL updates, I'm glad that you are both happy. I'll be following along on whatever adventures you post, both here and on your blog. Take care!
