Hey everybody, I have been a long time lurker gleaning information from everyone for our trip in December...it's been 9 long years since I've been to Disneyland and I cannot wait! (I am dying to see HMH! I'm a huge NBC fan.)
Anyway, I've been trying to find information on what people feel is best to do sleep arrangements wise for a 2.5 year old toddler who is used to sleeping on her own? She has been sleeping through the night in her own crib since she was a few months old--people are always so envious, but now I have a problem...what do we do while we're in a hotel? I've been toying with the idea of a suite so she can have her own sleeping space that won't throw off her schedule or keep her up all night because there are lots of people around. But they're all so far from the resort or really expensive...I've been spoiled by staying in hotels right across the street and I just love being that close to the park. Any suggestions on helping her get used to sleeping with a bunch of adults in the same room? Has anyone else been through this? Or any better ideas for a suite?
The other two people in our party are my husband and my brother (who is coming along to help with the Toddler as she adores him to pieces) and they are both newbies. My DH has never been to Disneyland and my brother was so young when we went as a family that he can't remember it. We are staying for 4 days...what do you think are the most important things to do to maximize the time we have? Plus it's been a while for me, so I wonder how different it will be from the last time!
Also, does anyone know if the parades/fireworks will be just on the weekends or will they show any of them during the week at Christmastime? We'll only be there sunday night and the rest will be weekdays. I will cry if I miss the snow!
So many questions...thanks for listening...can you tell I'm excited? :D
