California here we come!!!

I booked our airline tickets for our September trip. We are flying our favorite airline, Southwest. I have flown numerous airlines and Southwest is my favorite so far. Plus I have a southwest rapid rewards account so I was able to get one of our tickets for free.

Technically we are flying into Las Vegas, spending 3 days in Las Vegas, and then driving to California for four days. We will then drive back to Las Vegas and fly back to St. Louis. First time for us to Las Vegas. I have been to California but my fiancee hasn't.

We didn't visit any parks this weekend. Just spent time working on my yard.

September Trip is in the works...

My boyfriend and I have been talking about a trip to California the first week of September to attend Disneyland's 40th anniversary Haunted Mansion event. Neither of us have been to Disneyland so we did some research on the internet. Thank goodness we did.

We learned that the Haunted Mansion event is a much anticpiated event, so much so that discussion forums were predicting the event would sell out very quickly. Sometimes too much information can be a bad thing because now we were stressing about whether we would be able to get tickets or not.

The tickets went on sale today and we were able to score two reservations. Yeah, one less thing to worry about. The discussion forums were right and the two event packages available for sale today sold out within 15 minutes. Wow. Seems like this is going to be a very popular event.

Since we are flying all the way to California, we decided to take a week long vacation. Now we just have to decide what else we want to see besides Disneyland. This is the fun part for me. I love researching vacation spot ideas. I am sure my boyfriend will come up with some great ideas too.
