I absolutely LOVED that. We'd go on Grizzly, get TOTALLY soaked, and run back into our room to change.

I've always thought 3 nights with a 4-day park hopper was a perfect amount of time. Believe it or not (and we go during busy summer time) by the end of day 3 we're usually really 'wrapped up' by then and trying to decide what to repeat again for the 4th day.

If you can get a flight that allows 4 full days (we arrived at 9am on Day 1, and left 8pm on Day 4) I think it's perfect. But if you get a better deal on 4-nights then go for it. Using points there is pretty 'expensive' so I always try to stick with the 3 nights.
Thanks Wishy. Mike agrees - thinks 3 nights is enough. I think that's what we will end up doing.

Grand Cali is defintiely our resort of choice after reviewing the 2 we were thinking about. I am going to call next week - fingers crossed we can get it!
