Hi everyone! My family has been so blessed to be able to visit the Mouse at WDW many, many times! We are about to embark on our first trip to CA (ever) and out first trip to DL. I'm so excited I'm about to burst.

I feel very confidant about our choices at WDW because we've gotten down a system and are so familiar.....but I'm feeling very on edge not knowing anything about how things work in DL. Actually - that's probably going to be the best part, isn't it? The newness.

We are getting 3 day hoppers and we will be staying at Disneyland Hotel. March 5-9. Before that we'll have been in SanFran 2 days and a day or so to drive down PCH. (In case you have any suggestions about any of that!) I saw that one of the other DL resorts you can enter the park thru....so I wondered...If we eat in one of those resort restaurants, can we enter the park through there even if we aren't staying there? I'm open for any suggestions you have.

Thanks SO SO much! DN
