Disneyland Trip 2009

The time of year for this trip was decided so we could take part in the

Laughing Place " International Meet" - December 5.   Laughing Place

is a Disney fan club full of great people.

I found a seat sale with WestJet so we flew out of Kelowna to LAX. 

We had a stop over in Calgary which was not much fun, but we got there.

It was a nice day to fly...

Almost there ...

Finally we reach our favourite Hotel ... HoJos

 

 

The first couple nights was in building 2.  Top floor view of

the pool.  These rooms are closest to where the Disney fireworks

are set off which shook the building and set off many car alarms

in the hotel parking lot.

Then a surprise to the family, I had reservations for the King Suite

in Building 1.  This is in the southwest corner - top floor with great views.

The suite is as big as two rooms with a separate bedroom.

 

Lots of room for the kids to work on some homework.

 

Internet connection to the school class back home...

 

Fantastic Disney views...... (but the HoJo trees need pruning)

 

 

Evening views are golden ...

 

A short walk to the parks ...

 

Tiana's Showboat Jubilee was on the river ...

 

 

 

A ride on Splash Mountain before the sun goes down.

 

We managed to ride in the front of the Monorail one evening.

 

 

 

The evenings required warm clothes.

 

The beautiful winter and Christmas decorations.

 

Over to Disney's California Adventure park ...
