Starting to think about plans for next year, saving up, deciding on overall plans and how we are going to drive down from Elko to Disney.
Dates I can't set yet because I am going to do this trip like the one I just did while the little man is on Spring Break from school.
more or less there's like 3 routes.
by way of Death Valley, Las Vegas or I-80 and the 5.
I am thinking of a day of travel, a dash to Universal Studios and check in to our hotel, 3 days in park and either one or two days travel home.
I liked the DoubleTree suites by Hilton down by the convention center but I want to get closer.
Tempted to pull the trigger on either Paradise Pier (even though I hear Big Pete on the vlog/podcast wasn't to pleased with the room and some of the service), the Disneyland Hotel, or Castle Inn and suites.
With the Castle Inn being first choice of offsite then the DoubleTree batting cleanup.
depending on cost I may book again through Costco or I may send some business to Dreams Unlimited (I know they are a sponsor but I have to ask how good are they? I had decent service from Costco)
the party being made of 5 adults, a ten year old and a toddler (pending dates maybe 1 or maybe 2 or almost 2). {was 4 adults but edited to 5 adults because my dad wants to go and I am gonna force him to share our space}
so anyone got any hot tips besides Maxpass and the app?
anything I need to avoid?
let me know what you got for some good thinking material.
Thanks in Advance.
