I have some fun pictures to share, I just have to get them off my phone. I will work on that today. Thursday night, Disneyland closed at 8 pm so we weren't sure if we would make it from the airport in time to go on any rides. WE DID!! First thing we rode was Pirates of the Caribbean. We walked right on - no line. Then we decided that we didn't have a whole lot of time left in the park for that night so we would ride Splash Mountain. This way if we were totally wet, we would just be going back to the motel. We walked right on again. Through the ride, there were a few moments when the ride would stop and the voice would tell us to stay in our seats and we would be along shortly. We got the end of the road so to speak. The last long climb to the top of the mountain before we are dropped into the brier patch, the ride stopped, and this time we were told to stay in our seats and someone would be along to help us out. Right at the top, we had to climb out and walk out of the ride through a small part of backstage. I thought that was really cool!! How often do you get to go backstage. After we got out to the ride, we were given readmission tickets to any ride. This is basically a fast pass ticket for any ride except Toy Story Midway Mania. Allynn admitted later that she had been praying that she would not get too wet. I had that same prayer.
The highlight of the trip happened on Friday morning. We got Disneyland at opening (9am) and went straight to Space Mountain before the line got too long. Then we went to Autopia to drive the cars. As we were coming off the ride we were handed DREAM FAST PASSES. We have waited all year to get one of those. We didn't really need them since most lines were less than 25 minute wait, but we used them anyway and had ridden ever ride in both Disneyland and California Adventure by 5 pm. That was a lot of walking. We just kept moving from one ride to the next, using our fast passes to go through the short line. It was so much fun. We stayed until about 10 pm and we were tired. So we went to Albertson's and rented Kit Kitridge - An American Girl from the Red Box for the next morning.
Saturday we slept in. I woke up about 8 and Allynn finally rolled out of bed around 10. We had breakfast in our room and watched the movie we had rented. Then we got ready for the day and headed back to the park. What a fun time we had. Again the lines were pretty short. The longest we waited for anything was 30 minutes and that was for Toy Story Midway Mania which is a new 3D ride in California Adventure. Everything else was 20 minutes or less.
Allynn and I had such a great time on our trip to Disneyland. So much fun that I am trying to work it out that our family can go one more time before out passes run out on November 22nd.
