We have been to WDW for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I would love to do Disney over our summer break but I absolutely HATE heat and humidity. The overall Southern Cal weather looks much better to me. One problem I have, it may just be the kids and I and I am wondering about the transportation options available. Any details about this? Especially airport to resort and resort to parks. TIA!
We drove to DLR. So, transportation wasn't an issue for us. However, I did some research and found the following for you:
From the
Anaheim Orange County website:
Airport Shuttles Link
Disneyland Resort Express w/coupon link
If you are staying on-property or at one of the Good Neighbor Hotels on Katella Ave, you don't need transportation once you get to your hotel. You should be able to walk to the parks. However, if you do find the walk too far (off-property), there is local transportation called
ART (Anaheim Resort Transit). It makes the rounds to the local hotel and drops you off right in front of the main plaza between DLP and DCA. There is a fee for this bus service and multi-day passes can be purchased.
From the
ART website:
All ART passes run consecutive dates.
1 Day Pass
Adult Pass $4.00 (10 years and older)
Children's $1.00 (3 years and older)
3 Day Pass
Adult Pass $10.00 (10 years and older)
Children's $2.00 (3 years and older)
5 Day Pass
Adult Pass $16.00 (10 years and older)
Children's $4.00 (3 years and older)

There was still some snow on the ground when we came through Amarillo on Saturday morning. I saw a family building a snowman at a rest stop a little west of Amarillo. It was a sight. 
We'll definitely be heading west sometime in the future. 
We fell in love with Disneyland park. As much as people comment on how small Sleeping Beauty castle is compared to Cinderella Castle at MK. We felt it fit the park perfectly. Knowing we were in the park Walt built made it extra special. DH and I took a moment one night and stood in front of the Fire Station with the lamp on in the window. 
What about you? Why are you going to DLR this year?
Same here. We're going to WDW this June and November/December. However, our recent trip to DLR was honestly a nice break and treat from WDW. Navigating the parks was fun. It was all new to us. I think even our second DLR trip be just as exciting. The trip left us wanting more Disney magic. 
Wow! Congratulations on your savings!
