When we originally booked our flights home we had a 6 hour layover in LA. We asked the airline to change our Vancouver to LA flight to the first flight of the day. Our plane would land in LA at 9am and our flight out to Sydney was at 11pm. We planned to get the shuttle bus out to and spend the day at Disneyland. Then we'd be exhausted and sleep on the flight.
Then friends decided to come with us, and we all thought why go for the day, why not go for the weekend. Changing our Vancouver to LA flight was a pain, we're flying on points. There are only limited points seats available. At one stage hubby was on one flight and I was on another. But eventually we managed to get the same flight on Friday morning.
Our friends changed their plans to go Thursday after work. Neither hubby or I wanted to deal with changing our flights again, so we stayed with the Friday morning flight. After arriving in LA around midday, and doing some hubby style shopping we had dinner at the House of Blues in Downtown Disney. I had a $25.00 gift certificate that I'd bought at restuarants.com for $2.00. Afterwards we wandered around Downtown Disney oohing and aahing at the holiday treats. We didn't try any, I don't think either of us could handle the sugar coma, but we take lots of photos.
