Howdy! I’m boarding my plane to ATL and then on to SNA for the beginning of my first-ever Disneyland adventure. As an east coast gal, ive been to wdw more than a handful of times, but ive spent about 48 hours total in the state of CA. I originally had direct flights to LAX via breeze airways, and they cancelled those last week and delayed their launch from our airport til february.
This trip came about because a) ive been wanting to visit DL forever b) my mom wanted to take DS for a week for some 1x1 time since she had DD for a week while we were in iceland c) my sitter was available for DD and frankly, a short break from parenting would do me a lot of good. She is in a Stage. Woof.
Anyway, i havent had time for a plan. We just finished a 9n Mediterranean-Greek Isles cruise on the Magic, which even my DH adored, arrived home june 27, had 44 ppl at our house on july 3, and all of the time in between was house cleaning, party prep and catching up on work. So, i have 4 day hoppers, 2n at DLH and 2n at GCH, WOC dessert party ticket and that’s it. Gonna test the theory that you don’t need spreadsheets at DLR, i guess 
Ill be sharing on insta and fb @debwithmat for my TA business but only the good. Will keep any bad and ugly in this here community of problem solvers 
So far, im in the back of a completely full flight next to a very snotty 8m old with only an hour to make my connection to SNA. I was offered an upgrade to comfort plus for only $29, but i didnt take it because the only option was a middle seat.
Im supposed to land at 1130a and plan to Uber to DLH. I have a park pass for DL and plan to knock out some single rider stuff, anything w short lines, and a lot of general gawking. I will purchase G+ at some point but not today. Dunno where I’ll eat. I just now switched from Italy time to East Coast time, so we will see how my body handles West Coast time lol.
Anyway, would love to say hi to any liners in the parks now through Sat and will gladly accept any tips and tricks!
Wahoo! Here we go!
