Welcome to planDisney, Debbie!
I'll bet excitement levels are soaring for your Disneyland Resort adventure this week! You'll be just in time for the end of the 
holiday season – how perfect! And can we just talk about how awesome it is that you're staying at the gorgeous 
Grand Californian Hotel & Spa! Fun fact: Not only is the lobby of this hotel decked to the max until January 7th, but they even have their 
own signature scent  – talk about fancy! 
Danielle's personal tip: Don't miss out on the 
Mickey-shaped Gingerbread Cookies in the lobby at the Grand Californian Great Hall Cart before the recipe heads back to the North Pole for the rest of the year!
I'm looking forward to staying there for the first time next month! And although I've never been an official guest thus far, I've used the special entrance to the 
Disney California Adventure Park regularly. I love that it's always a less crowded security line, leading my little Mouseketeer almost directly to the 
Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, where he can immediately run, explore and play!
I hope this puts your mind at ease, Debbie. I'm sure you and your cast of characters will have a fabulous time palling around the report this week. ! If you still have questions or would like more 
tips, just 
gimme a holler– now that you've got a friend in me, you can expect speedy replies.
Happy New Year,
Danielle
