Well we are finally here!!!
Now for a brief report.
We drove straight through, stopping every few hours for restroom, food, and stretching breaks, and ended up getting here at about 11:00 last night. That's about 15 hours ahead of what we planned! We also left quite a few hours earlier than originally planned too, though.
We ended up just calling ahead and getting ourselves an extra night at the Hojo, and the entertainment rate just happened to be included for it! So we are all settled into our room for the next 7 nights.
Today we drove to Hollywood and walked along the Blvd. looking at stars, and going into shops. Of course we went into the Disney Soda Fountain. Really cool store!
Next we went over to the Santa Monica Pier and walked around there for a couple hours. Awesome experience. We had a lot of fun there.
And I finally got my glimpse of the Resort tonight when we took a walk through Downtown Disney. We had some food and a couple drinks at ESPN Zone. Very yummy food. Sorry, I forgot to get pictures of it. We also took a walk through the World Of
Disney Store. It was very difficult, but I managed to walk out of there without spending a dime! Actually, that's a lie. I did spend 50 cents on a pressed penny.
Anyways, all in all, it was a great day, minus LA traffic! One question: Why are there some cars that don't have license plates? Is that allowed? We've seen quite a few that don't and think it's very strange.
Tomorrow is our first Disney day! Gotta get some sleep so I can be all rested up! So excited!
