Makes a lot of sense. By then you probably need the rest a little more than you would early in the trip anyway. Nice to get that day to relax and not be as tired when you're heading home.
It ended up working out. We were EXHAUSTED by that time in the week, so the rest day was more than welcome to help us power through our last day!
There are some great pictures of her with the characters! It looks like she was having a great time!
I was so happy she had come around by then! It would have been a very expensive and miserable meal had she been freaking out the whole time.
That is awesome! That's how you do breakfast. Ice cream and cookies!
When in Rome...
And a great resort to walk around. I love that place. Even for someone who had never been to Disneyland before, I was just overwhelmed with nostalgia walking around that resort.
It's a really fun resort to check out, especially those huge memorabilia walls! The kids really enjoyed looking around at all of the old maps, pictures, and souvenirs.
I love this! So cool! I'm living vicariously through you and your photos at this point.
It's amazing seeing it all lit up at night! It's like a brand new place!
Awesome! I want to see this up close! The colors are so pretty!
It is really pretty lit up, and there is even a game you can play while waiting. It's on your phone and the colors flash on the fun wheel, and you have to remember the sequence. Whoever answers the questions with the right answers the quickest gets to choose what color the fun wheel lights up before the show!
So great that you could see the show and enjoy it, and that DS got a chance to see it kind of for the first time, now that he's old enough to remember it.
It was a great show, as always! Definitely my favorite thing to do in Disneyland at night.
This seems like a great idea. And maybe just what was needed to be able to power through that last day.
It definitely helped. We had worn ourselves out by then!
I'm loving reading about your trip! I can't wait to start your universal report also
Thanks so much!! I'm glad you're enjoying.
So I have been terrible about looking for and keeping up with Trip Reports of late, so I only just now saw you had this TR going ... but I did read through it all today!
I won't even attempt to comment on everything but just wanted to say that I am sorry for the challenging trip out West you had - but at least the rest of the trip seems to have been up hill after that!
Also, your DD's reaction to characters seems similar to our son's when we was about her age as he really was interested in them from afar but then got super scared when they were close (and would only wave goodbye to them, not hello)
Lastly, I just adore this picture and kinda is a visual of why we deal with all the stress of planning and executing a Disney trip:
No worries!! I find my DIS time more limited these days as well.
Yes, we always have some kind of issue leading up to a trip it seems, but the rest of the trip turned out wonderfully, thank goodness.
Oh yes, she LOVED waving goodbye to them!! It's so funny how all kids universally seem to do that with people and things they don't want to be around. Kids to it to me at work all day long!! lol
Absolutely!!!! All the drama is totally worth it for moments like that one!
