The kids played. The adults chatted it up. Fun was had by all.
Then it was off to enjoy 2 hours of L.A. traffic.
We arrived at the much anticipated Grand California hotel to our room with "theme park views."
Since we were going big time on this trip we decided to pay extra to overlook California Adventure. The pictures on the internet made it look worth it. Shiloh was the first to arrive to the room and found our stunning, million dollar view of the park. It just looked more like a state park than a theme park...

After some visits to other rooms and discussion with guest services everyone decided that we had gotten the bait and switch. Even the guest services gal was sketched on our "theme park view."
She said, "Um, yeah. When they built the park they didn't realize the trees would grow in like that and block everything."
But they have no problem to continue billing it (literally) as a "theme park view." We decided to just stay in the room and they credited us back most of the upgrade money and then gave us vouchers for a meal at one of the hotel restaurants (worth about $400,ooo).
After we got the room hoopla squared away we headed for the most expensive place on earth. Elijah got to fight Darth Vader,
Jordis began her 5 day stay in prison also known as a stroller.

The next morning we received an awesome guilt offering that the kids quite enjoyed.
Two bunches of balloons, two "autograph books" with a bunch of character signatures (not that my kids even know what an autograph is) and a stuffed bear for Jordis.
