| Intro
We started the year off with our vacation, this year we flew down to Disneyland in
California vs. Florida as I got to see my kids as well.
Flight both ways was uneventful.
Rented a van, heck for ten dollars a day more, it gave a lot more room and we're used
to driving the larger vehicles anyway.
I had worked the night of our morning flight, so I wasn't raring to go but we managed.
First day was the group getting together and my getting in touch with family there.
We had the four day passes to Disneyland, rained two days but we still went in.
Breakfasts in Goofy's Kitchen a buffet every morning.

Still had the Christmas stuff up, but started taking it down
towards the end of the week.

This was the view from our balcony.
|
| This is an interesting marketing concept, by taking out the
parking lots for peripheral garages they were able to create this
new space: Downtown Disney.
Shops, multiple restaurants and a movie theater.
Parking for this section is free for three hours,
promoting the locals to just hang out here.
We enjoyed the food for dinners, and the shopping.

| Ta da, our suite was nice, though surprised they did not have a microwave?

Looking back towards Disneyland Hotel from Downtown
Disney shows how their tied together.

The Californian was were we wanted to stay as it is directly
in the new park section, but they had no suites available.

Made our space pretty quickly, Haley's dog.

opened but they were only six inches wide to the railings.

The farther blue copula is the entrance to Goofy's
Kitchen where we had most of our meals.

That white splotch above the trees on the right is Space Mountain

Prologue
We had a good time, the hotel (though I am leery of heights) was very comfortable and
met our needs pretty well.
