I've Got a Really Good Feeling About This! A Weekend Getaway Trip Report

Welcome back! Last time I reported, we took a family trip to WDW in May/June 2021. This time, it’s just me and DW on a weekend getaway to Disneyland!

The Suspects:

For those wanting pics of my little DDs, I have good news - we will be taking a trip to WDW in just 33 days! Not satisfied? Will DD2 make a Rogue appearance in this trip report? Only time will tell.

The Plan:

We leave first thing in the morning tomorrow. If all goes well, we will be at the gates before lunchtime. (I even have my car gassed up in case we have to drive! Hear me, Southwest? Hold together.)

We will be staying at the Grand Californian for two nights and come home Saturday. As a special treat, we will be going to the Hollywood Bowl Friday night to hear John Williams (and David Newman) conduct the LA Philharmonic Orchestra at Maestro of the Movies.

All set?

Good morning! We were up bright and early here on the west coast. Our flight leaves at 8:05am and so far is on time. Our plane is arriving from Albuquerque shortly. (Of course I was tracking it!)



Beautiful airport - Sky Harbor was recently renovated and it’s probably my favorite U.S. airport I’ve been to, as long as you aren’t switching airlines / terminals while here. It’s a nice home base.

Crazy story: It was raining buckets this morning as we left our house. On the freeway, we had been driving just a few minutes when I saw something strange: a flash of a car moving perpendicular to me in my rear view mirrors! My wife looked back and saw the car careen into a wall on the far right side of the freeway! Thankfully she said it slowed down by the time it hit. I saw a couple of cars behind me on my left pull over - presumably they were involved in some kind of collision.

Drive carefully out there, folks! Roads are slippery when wet!

Success!

Thankfully it had my party automatically selected. I couldn’t figure out a way to configure my party in advance. But otherwise the process was the same. cc: @bebe80

@bebe80 here is the sequence of screens (too much hassle to make a video):

Just before 7:00am (note no buttons for selecting party):

Refreshing right before 7:00:00:

Blue button appears. I press it:

Here is the screen where you could change your party, but I did not. It was automatically selected. I pressed the blue button:

Success!
