I was in California a few years ago (they were still building CA) and could not wait to go to Disneyland. DH and I were so excited. We got our tickets and reservations and headed south. DH was stations at NAS Lemoore (if you know where that is). Anyway, it was Thanksgiving weekend and we were caught for HOURS on the LA Highways getting to Anaheim.:devil Then when we finally got there we could not find our hotel. Thanksgiving day we went to DL and we were so disappointed! Having grown up with the MK and Cinderella's Castle, my heart was broken when I saw Sleeping Beauty's castle (right princess??). It was so crowded that we didn't get to see anything. I will say that DL's Pirates of the Carribean was much better, though.
What I'm saying is that I had such high expectation of DL that I couldn't even enjoy what was there. I'm sorry that your trip to WDW was the same way. Maybe one day I'll get back to DL, but until then...I'll keep 'my little disney world'.:)
Trishb! We went to Disneyland last year for the first time at Christmas we loved it. The crowds were terrible and I don't think we are going to do that again anytime soon but we did get to see it. :D

I really am not saying we hated WDW or anything of the sort. I am just saying that we did expect so much and then got so little. We are talking about going back in 5 years or so by that time our son will be 15 and we wont have to worry about our daughter being that she will be in her early 20's. If we go back we will only stay about a week and not buy a large package because now we know what to expect where to go what to do. When you haven't been there before it can be a little over whelming.

Take care,

Jena :)
