I'm getting the itch myself.

When's Gay Day weekend and will the park be decked out for Halloween by then?

Well it's not like I was seriously hoping anyone would try to talk me out of it...

I'm trying to talk my folks into coming down. One of my minor goals in life is to get my mom onto TOT. Now, I know that the DS version is about a gazmillion times better, but that's unlikely as long as my mom's parents live in Orlando. My mom feels obligated to be Good Daughter and relieve my aunt as caregiver whenever she's down there, so she doesn't get to play very much. Oooh! And new Space Mountain! She'll scream the whole time! :evil:

But there are so many questions. Where to stay this time if we go? Save funds with the HoJo? Try the Disneyland Hotel since I haven't done that since I was a kid and there was still a hotel station platform thing that lingers as a vague image in my mind? GC because we're used to it?

Don't you DARE come down that weekend. We won't be there!

You will SAVE money by going to Disneyland. Cause let's face it, you'll be going to Disney soon anyways.

Disneyland doesn't have earrings to match your pearl necklace. And the food isn't nearly as good. See? I just saved you hundreds of dollars.

Go to Disneyland.

Why not do a cross between the two options? Stay at HoJo, make your own breakfast, fly coach, etc. There are so many ways to cut corners on a DL trip and still have a fantastic time. Heck, when Michael and I were first married we were so desperate for DL, yet also so poor, that we wouldn't stay in a hotel at all. We had annual passes, so we would drive all night on Saturday, go to the park all day Sunday, then drive back Sunday night. We used $45 for gas and $25 for food (we shared). Some of our best times at DL were on a very tight budget. I don't even want to calculate what our combined incomes were that year because it would be so frightening, but we went to DL 13 times that year! Go, save money, you can do both!

So now that that's settled, when are you coming to DL ?

What is this "coach" flying you speak of?:p (Although come to think of it, I think we have enough miles to upgrade.)

We generally cut one meal a day anyhow -- usually breakfast, but sometimes lunch if we get a craving for oscar's scramble. I don't know if we could give up Napa Rose, though.

I think we'd have to visit the first week of January again. It's either that or the weekend of December 16th and, as much as I love Disneyland on my birthday, it's probably too crowded then.

Who gave Prudence a pearl necklace?


And when's Gay Day weekend?

October 6-8 Funny how I knew that, huh?

Does it make me sound too much like a Lisa-stalker if I say that makes me feel a little better about not being able to come?

Yeah, funny.

I was afraid that it would be on the only weekend in October that we already had plans and I was right. I promised MickeyLumbo that we'd attend Gay Day sometime and I was hoping this would be the year.

We still want to see the Halloween overlay so maybe we'll be able to swing a trip some other weekend in October.
