****DISNEYLAND****

We spent a grand total over 2.5 days of 35 hours in the parks itself. Yes, this did not allow a lot of time for sleeping. But we made it work. The dogs, our loyal travel companions spent the days at the Disneyland Kennel Club with frequent walks. In all my search, I had found no one who had done this, and I was nervous but it worked great. They were in a run with water, and air conditioning, and directly outside was a yard I could exercise them in. They weren't stressed and happily went back every day to their run. The employees were exceptional with the dogs, and with our requests (the same run, a blanket, etc), and it allowed me to not worry about the dogs. At night we walked the mile back to our hotel (or hobbled, depending on the night) where they ate dinner and crashed with us.

And now, for a zillion Disneyland Pictures... Completely out of order, for reasons I will explain in my next post...
