Greetings to all Disney lovers!
In September of 2007 we accompanied my (then) 5-old Princess on her Make a Wish Trip to Disney World. It was my first trip to Florida. You can read all about it my Trip Report (link in my signature).
One of the special surprises from our stay at Give Kids the World Village near WDW was a "World Passport" to a wide variety of theme parks around the world. We have free passes to these, if we can get there, as long as it is within 12 months of our Wish Trip.
We live in Washington State, so we were thrilled to learn that many places on the west coast are included. For this reason we are planning a trip to California in September 2008. I should add that I lived in CA for 5 years back in the 80s and have been to DL many times myself. It will be my family's first time though.
We plan to pay our own way into DL and California Adventure, as Disney has more than done their part already with admissions to all the WDW parks last fall. We will take advantage of passes to Adventure Kingdom (formerly Marine World Africa USA) and Great America in the Bay Area. Then we will head to Southern California for Knott's Berry Farm, Legoland, Magic Mountain and the San Diego Zoo. Our plan is to travel by Amtrak as part of the adventure.
Stay tuned for more details.
