Sounds amazing! You all deserve it! You will love Disneyland. Try to squeeze in a trip to Knott's Berry Farm if you can. Historic chicken dinners and melt-in-your-mouth biscuits.
Have fun! Can't wait for the trip reports.

If you have any DL/So. Cal questions, feel free to PM me.
Thats what I think..that'll be so very interesting to compare parks back to back. Everyone keeps telling me that both DL and WDW are so very different. I can't even wrap my mind around it. It still hasn't sunk in that I'm going. I have tons of questions..I may take you up on that offer of a PM! Thanks!!!

Sounds absolutely wonderful. I can't even imagine it! And though I would love to be able to do your trips, after hearing your DH profession I don't think I would want it ! lol.
Have a beyond wonderful time and I hope you write about as much of it as you can!

Lisa, this is fantastic news. WOW! How wonderful for you and your family. As we've never been to DL either, I look forward to your comparisons.
On a side note, we'll be at Disney World the last week of July through August 7th. I'll keep an eye out for you. I can only imagine how excited the kids are!!!

Just made the trip more interesting (the first trip!) by booking the Segway Tour for Katie and I. (Around the World at Epcot) She is 16 now, and can do it with me!! Hope I can stay on the Segway!

Sounds like my kind of vacation. Have a great time. DL is different and the same in many ways. You can actually just walk to all your ADRs at DL. No need to catch buses and transfer. DW is still 1st in my heart, but I would go back to DL in a second. I can't wait to read your reports. They are always a good read.

You can actually not even MAKE ADRs at DLR. That's one of the best things about it! Dine where you want, when you want! I've never made an ADR at DLR, and I've also never waited more than 20 min for a table ANYWHERE (including Blue Bayou).
Now, I WILL recommend making a dining package ADR to see World of Color. Just to make it easier and guarantee a good place to watch the show.

When I was there about 2 years ago, we did have reservations. I did not realize the policy changed. The world of color does look like a great show.

We booked the picnic to ensure viewing for the World of Color. I'm happy to read ADR's are not always necesssary for table services. We made some, but are thinking of trying other places if our schedule allows.

Policy hasn't changed. At DLR, you can make ADRs 90 days out. But, you don't really need to. The truth is, most restaurants can easily accommodate walk ups, because so few people actually make ADRs (due to the majority of visitors being locals).
One exception to this would be Goofy's Kitchen breakfast/brunch. This place is ALWAYS packed!

Oooo! Then I am glad I made one for our Goofy's Kitchen breakfast. We are doing that on our World of Color day, just the kids and I, since DH is working on that day. Then we'll head to the parks, then DH will meet us to pick up our picnics and World of Color!

Good plan! Yeah, I've been wanting to take the kids to Goofy's for awhile, but we are not good at planning that stuff so far ahead of time, and walk ups don't happen there!

Well, as things usually go, I'm tweaking and a' changin things around! So, our new add ons for August trip to WDW are the Segway tour and the Tea for my girlies and I. I just added the Hoop De Doo after the archery experience in September for my sons BD, and also added the Pirates League for him before the MNSSHP. Think I'll stop now!!!
