Amended to say ... at night. During the day I have no worries. But there's no telling just how much juice she'll put away if there's a supply of juice around the corner. Not going to chance it for bedtime. And the few times I've made her wear a pull up to bed, she thinks it's hilarious and...

My five year old hasn't wet the bed in more than a year and I'm making her wear a pull-up on the train. I don't want to worry about her having that once-in-forever incident on something like a train cushion. That we have to sit on for the entire next day. And that other people will sit on...

We're pretty locked into our dates, hotel is booked and time off from work arranged. Also, the Peter Pan ride reopens after a long refurbishment just as we're arriving, and I am looking forward to Mother's Day at Disneyland too. And I'm a big geek who plans my vacations around Peter Pan. Hehe...

The fare has gone up. I had been watching for a month or so and one day back in August it just tanked to the lower price, and I jumped all over it. Round trip from Seattle to Anaheim for me and the child ... $867. I don't suppose it gets much cheaper than that. We'll just hang onto it and...

I did make an account! :) Then it logged me out and I didn't notice, and I had a couple of posts as Guest_hamster before I figured out I wasn't logged in. Then I forgot again and happily typed in the wrong name entirely. My newbieness is showing! I'll try to keep me logged in properly...

That is great about the bunks, thanks! And maybe we'll just adventure on all the way to Anaheim on Amtrak after all. That rule seems really strange though. Even if I'm RIGHT THERE and tell them that I'm not a no-show? They can't relay that on to the Surfliner conductor, or note it on my...

WHOA, really? They will cancel my return?? Even if I tell them what's up when I get to LA? That is good to know though. I will look into that further. And I actually wrote to Amtrak to ask about the Parlor Car, and they assured me that it would be back on the route before May. For certain...

Oh, I can sleep up there fine and dandy. That's the plan. But the child and I have fallen asleep in a chair together. We can both fit in a sleeping bag in a pinch. If any parent and child could manage it, we could. :) Is there enough head space when the top bunk is down to sit up on...

Hi! I have been lurking for several months, reading just about every thread whether it pertains to my route or not. :) Thank you for all of the fantastic info, it will help me sound like much less of a newbie and definitely not like a noob. A ha ha. Anyway, I'm taking the CS round trip...
