The Walt Disney Family Museum is definitely a must...even if you end up going by yourself. The museum is really well put together.
So excited for your trip! :)

Me too ~ although we don't have any accommodations or tickets yet :shock: And we really aren't going to be with my brother and his family in San Francisco very long, so hopefully we can make the museum happen!
P.S. I actually started working on Day 9 of this trip report last night! Of course today is filled with errands and dinner with friends so...maybe tomorrow :mrgreen:

Finally got ahold of my brother this afternoon. Now I'm really confuzzled :? He is actually coming with us to Cali, has booked us into a bed and breakfast somewhere in the Southern Cali area. I had to try to control my laughter when he was saying, "This way Amy can go to the parks as much as she wants, and you can hang out with me Mom." The look on her face was priceless, because as much as she is excited to hang out with her oldest child, she mostly wants to go to DL and DCA too!! :lol: He did say he would go to the parks with us too if that is what she wants.
The weird part is he will be going home and back to work when we go to visit my other brother up in Northern Cali for 2 or 4 days. I suppose he only has so much time off work, but I know Mom was really hoping she could have all three kids together again. She does think my other brother might be able to come down for a day or two while we are all there ~ hopefully that works out :D
I am so glad we didn't go ahead and book any accommodations!

Yes, some of my glee has worn off as I have thought about it, and I know I am not going to be playing in the parks without F1gment. I'm thinking three days is probably what we will shoot for. Shoot :(

Finally got some information pried out of my brother. We are staying about 40 minutes away from Disney. I'm starting to think we might only get about 3 Disney days in...but that is 3 more days than we would have been getting so I think it will be good. I will keep telling myself that anyhow!
And I thought to ask my brother if he had any Club 33 or 1901 connections, since he works for a large company, but he didn't have any luck either. Looks like the private clubs will remain a mystery to us for a little while longer :(

Amy , I never thought I'd want to go to Disneyland, since I'm an east coast girl, but.... after seeing Soarin's pictures on fb, I'm re-thinking that whole thought!! You are lucky to be going even if it's only a few days . I know you are counting down the days!! :ccat:

Yes, that's what I keep telling myself. And the trip wouldn't be possible at all if not for my brother. And he is so excited to be hanging out with his Mom and sister for a week. It is just hard thinking you are going to have a leisurely week at DL and then finding out that isn't the case.

We haven't really had a chance to talk to my brother about the trip since he dropped his little bomb on us a few days ago. F1gment mentioned today that she thinks he would really like an entire day to himself to go sailing since we are going to be on the ocean. We just really need to pin him down and get a chance to get everything on the table soon so F1gment will stop freaking out! :lol: Unfortunately my brother is super busy at work at the moment, and in the midst of an ugly divorce too :( so many things happening, so little time to collaborate.

Once we can get together with my brother, I should have some idea. Thanks!
