I'm Going to Disneyland!

For those who know me... they know what a big deal this is. I am not a fan of flying. I will fly when I have to, how else would I have gotten to England and Germany??? I would rather not fly alone... BUT I know this is no big deal and I can do this. I WANT to do this!

Over a year ago, the trip planning was started. Dates were set. More planning. Jen died. I had some decisions to make. I'm going. Jen had wanted to go on this trip SO bad, so if I don't go, I think she will kick me in the ass somehow. Unfortunately, the others who were going have backed out... well, not all of them. There are a few I will see and thankful for that!

I plan to take my computer and do some updates. I know I will be posting pics to facebook (for my friends only) and then move some another place. I may add some here too. Just limit pics because of the limit that this site has overall.

OMG! I'm going to Disneyland!!! I am planning to be in 2 parks in 1 day. Not just any 2 parks either! Not Disneyland and California Adventure! Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and then to the original Disneyland. I can hardly wait!!!! Heather has sent me a book to read on the plane... I have to do some iTunes work on my iPod. I need to get all my packing out of piles and into my suitcase (carryon style so I can get right from the plane to park). Try not to overpack!!!!

Come along with me on my adventure...

The Grand 1 Yacht

I have always wanted to take a cruise on the Grand 1 yacht. The yacht has changed a couple of times over the years and the current one allows you to have 18 people on board. It is incredible and expensive.

I still want to do this for a date, and I will one day... but I have been on it for another wonderful reason. I rented it to celebrate a friend's birthday and her wedding. She and her husband have been married for 9 months at the time, and because she gave up her Disney wedding (for the right reason), I wanted her to have something special. She and I worked together in getting the cake picked, and discussing some of the details.

We had assistance through the Grand Floridian in getting everything together. Pat was wonderful. We decided not to have a butler, which it is optional. The Captain was great. He made sure that we had great view of the fireworks (Hallowishes) and we cruised around the 7 Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake.

The Grand 1 has been used for parties, romantic dinners, engagements, celebrations like anniversaries, a private taxi to go to and from different places around the Seas. Now, I do not recommend the private taxi myself, but if you have the money to blow on that, that is your choice.
