One Christmas season we were staying at the Grand and right before bedtime I got hit with the worse fever/chills/cough. It was horrible. I did not sleep at all (and i barely slept at all the night before too, tossing and turning, too excited for our visit). I thought for sure I would send the family to Storytellers for breakfast in the morning and then checkout a day early. :-( But low and behold I fell asleep around 6 am, woke up around 8 am and was almost good as new illness wise. I was still pretty tired. But I was able to make a go of it, thank goodness. We took a lot of fun pics the next 24 hours including our family pic in front of the Grand tree that we would of missed out on. For medical reasons I can't take any stimulants :-( so I guess you can say my love of family time at DL powered me through! - PrincessDuckie  588.3 #187 12:08PM

Wed night we stayed till close, sat at the place where my brother was at a concert till 11:15, got home at 12:30, got up at 7, kids late to school, so what the heck, drove back to Disneyland. I was exhausted by 8pm! Screamin is a good way to wake up!! - GarnerPhotography  321.4 #517 6:47PM

At 50+ years old I'm always a little tired. Night trips get one Starbucks espresso and morning trips get a nice cup of kona. Also have water and stay hydrated which helps the fatigue. - Plumiegirl  3345.9 #10 10:55PM

On one trip we left for Disneyland at 6am, right after I got off work from a graveyard shift. We drove straight through, which is about an 18 hr drive. I got maybe 3 hrs broken sleep on the trip down. We arrived in Anaheim about 3 hrs before the park closed & my family insisted we go that night, so I went even though I had been up for 30+ hours at that point. It was completely worth it too. - dreaminofdisney  6.7 #8395 11:17PM

Leap day. Freezing my butt off and walking. 😁 - bluefairy  627.3 #174 1:18AM

Not the coolest story, but being there for Grad Night immediately after graduation was exhausting! Didn't leave DL until 6am, and by 4 we were all so exhausted! To keep us awake, we took a mini power nap at Pizza Port! Still had a wonderful time though. :) - GrimGrinningAmanda  318.7 #528 7:37AM
