A Few Things.......Our Disneyland trip was a much needed vacation. We joined two of my sisters and families and went on a quest to find the shortest line and anywhere with air conditioning. Although now I am finding I'm missing the heat since it's been 27 DEGREES here! We enjoyed our favorite ride, Pirates of the Carribean, along with the Haunted Holiday Mansion. We stopped by the Teacups (it was quite amusing watching the kids try and walk afterwards) and Thunder Mountain, Tower of Terror and cooled off at Splash Mountain. Getting cooled off at Splash Mountain took a moment though, we found ourselves stuck in "the laughing place" for about 20 minutes. You know something has gone awry when the lights come on. We were the third ones in line to go up and had to be escorted out, what could you do but laugh? They did give us some fast passes to come back when it was operating again. We stopped and said "hi" to Jack the Skeleton and Sally, Mickey and Minnie and literally chased after Captain Jack Sparrow. We enjoyed munching on Power Packs (string cheese,yogurt,apples and a drink with color changing straw) candied apples, lollipops and cotton candy.) The highlight was my sister's friends being in the right place at the right time, they got us some Dream Fast Passes which has tabs with different rides and you can go through the fast pass line with them, that rocked!
Some things overheard on this trip:
"Would you like me to take your picture" (Lara)
"Please don't step on the animation" (Guy helping us out of our log)
"I like Ben'" (Lulu,said with a sheepish grin, she wouldn't hold anyone else's hand)
"Can I have a stuffed animal?" (Jared, about a million, trillion times)
"Let just stay here one more minute" (Auntie, staking out for Dream Fast Passes)
"I'm done" (Uncle Jake)
"I'm married to Mark" (Adam after waiting for Lara to finish another conversation with complete stangers)
"Daniel Boone!!!" (Libby, trying to get auntie and Lara to get a move on while talking to more strangers) FYI: Daniel Boone is what our Aunt and Uncle would yell if they were in a crowd and couldn't find one of their kids. At one time they were visiting with my cousin in New York and were in Soho when one of them got lost. They started yelling at the top of their lungs "Daniel Boone" much to the emabarrassment of my cousin.
