Two Trips are Better Than One

We decided to make two trips in 2005; one in October and another in December. We chose October so that we can make one final trip with our annual passes before they expire. We are anxious to see all the 50th Anniversary things in the Park and also see our 50th Anniversary brick in the Esplanade. We also decided to go in December so that we can enjoy the Park with all its Christmas decorations. And, the best part of all is that my parents will be going with us in December. It will be great to show them what a wonderful time you can have in the Park without rushing around from attraction to attraction.

I had already made reservations for me and Jason at HoJo’s in Anaheim for October 8-15 and December 10-17 using the Mousesavers discount, so I called them up to add one more room for December. Jason and I had decided to reserve one king bed room and one room with two queen beds for the two of us to increase our chances of getting connecting rooms. It really made things easier last December when we stayed in a family suite at the Anaheim Plaza and had the connecting door between our rooms. Our rates at HoJo’s this year are $50 for the king room and $54 for the two queens, very reasonable rates.

With our hotel reservations made, there really isn’t much else to do for the trip. I continue to check air fare and car rentals, but things are still really high. Hopefully, as we get closer to the trip dates, and past summer, there will be some fall specials. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to visit Mouseplanet to pick up more tips and keep informed of all the happenings in the Park.
