Tony and I really wanted to do something fun for our 20th wedding anniversary. We thought about going to Florida, but the budget didn't allow that. So, we did the next best thing and went to Anaheim. We were able to use our hotel points to cover the hotel and we also drove, so we saved money on airplane tickets.
We left Sunday right after sacrament meeting. It was the same day as the Primary Program, so we didn't want to miss that. We went home, changed our clothes, packed the van and then headed on our way. We drove a couple of hours before picking up some lunch. We just ate in the car and continued driving. We stopped in St. George for gas and a quick pit stop. The traffic was good for most of the trip. It was a busy and slow moving down the canyon outside of Victorville. But we were able to get gas at the Costco in Victorville and we picked up some Mexican food for the road from a local Mexican Restaurant.
We then got into our hotel about 8:00 p.m. We unpacked the car and got in all in our room. I got us unpacked and ready to go to Disneyland the next day.
The next morning, we got some hotel breakfast. It was decent, price was right. Then we got our stuff and drove to Disneyland. The traffic was good, and Tony was able to get us there without any problems. We parked and then walked down to the trams. Best first ride of the day. We then went to Disneyland for the day.
The weather was perfect. We brought our jackets but didn't end of needing them. When we bought holiday Mickey popcorn buckets for us, Margie, Suzanne, and Kim we then got a locker to store the buckets and our jackets. That made the backpack a lot lighter to carry. Tony was so nice, and he wore the backpack the majority of the time.
The park wasn't super busy, but we did have Genie Plus to help not have to wait so long in the lines. We were able to get on every ride we wanted to at least one time, if not twice. We got Mickey beignets, tried multiple treats and the breakfast chimichanga this day. We ate lunch at the Hungry Bear restaurant. The food was okay, not the best thing every, but not bad at all.
We had wanted to eat at the Plaza for dinner this night, but they had a way long line, and I was too tired to wait for that. So, we got everything out of our locker and went out of the park to get dinner at The Earl of Sandwich. They had a longish line too, but we were able to get a table and enjoy our sandwiches.
We then got back on the tram and walked back to our car. We then drove back to the hotel and got some good rest. It was a good day and we had lots of fun.
