I was a Disneyland, for the first time, three weeks ago, and it was raining and cold the whole time! We had to buy ponchos....so I know what you mean about being prepared. I guess the whole point of trying not to live paycheck to paycheck is being able to have these wonderful (and sometimes expensive!) memories. My only regret is that I didn't get to meet any Disney characters. Not even Mickey....I guess the weather kept them home! You’re lucky!
