Disneyland! Disneyland! Disneyland!

This year has been "A Year of a Million Dreams." I have visited Disneyland 3 times this year and have enjoyed every single second of it. I have had a bunch of amazing experiences -- too many to share all. I decided that I should at least share some of the best ones, so here goes.

The magic all started with my first trip where we won the dream fast passes. But it didn't stop there....


We also got to be captains of the Mark Twain Boat... TWICE!



I got scared by the witch from sleeping beauty - she did not offer me an apple (feww).



I walked down main street one night holding hands with Mickey to get his picture. We had to find a photopass person because our camera had died. He only took pictures with us, and then we got to escort Mickey (well, it was mostly Kelsey) back and he left.



Oh, and did I mention, we got VIP seating to the show Aladdin. In line we enjoyed a hilarious chat with Roz who ended up being the Geanie's mom. Because of this, we sat with her during the show and got to do a meet and greet with the cast! I met all my favorite Aladdin characters that you don't usually get to meet. Iago, Geanie, the magic carpet, Jafar......



I also got to ride the new Toy Story Mania ride...I love it! I love that in the line you can talk to Mr. Potato head. I got to see the High School Musical 2 Parade, and the new one for the Senior Year movie. I rode space mountain about a dozen times and Screamin' about half a dozen. We even got to ride Tower of Terror in our own elevator.


I've met all the princesses and even some odd charaters here and there. Cruella is hilarious to talk to her. All she does is insult people. I got attacked by Scully who almost didn't take a picture with me. I was also able to be a junior fire fighter this last trip. well, actually I just got a sticker saying I was because we rode the fire car. Kelsey and I danced infront of the Fire station when the band was out and we recieved a free pin. It is of tinkerbell.



All in all, I've had an amazing time this year at Disneyland. It ended with this last trip where we got to meet Christmas Mickey and Minnie, who we got pictures with together. We got to see the snow fall (soap spuds) and the light show on the castle. Nothing could hinder my trip, even when I was in as splint because of my broken finger and it rained like cats and dogs on the second day and we had to wear ugly ponchos.
The only disappointment has been that when we wrote dumbo, I didn't get to hold a feather.
But we don't talk about that.
