Lol- Matt, you so rocketh! Loved the pics and the narrative. Horrid time to wake up, though. We've never hit DL before 11 am, excepting the 50th. Thanks for the lovely photos. :D

For most Disneyland visits I hardly bother to get up at that hour BUT with NYE being on a Saturday we just had to in order to get their for park opening and get a jump on some of the madness that happened as the crowds showed up. As they say "early bird gets the worm". Otherwise I don't think we would have managed a total of 24 rides in all I believe and that was taking it super easy.
(Why I never get up before 6am otherwise for anything.)

The BEST part riding the Matterhorn at 11:57pm and hitting the crystallized ice right after the lift hill right at midnight as the fireworks went off to start 2012. That was pure MAGIC and so unplanned.

Sounds like a great night, thanks for the pics and commentary!

Great post with the pics and the commentary. A+++. Would read again.

Ooooh fog. :D

It's got a good beat and you can dance to it. I'll give it a 68 Dick.

I've got a '62 dick.

Millimeters? That's 2.44"

now ' is the symbol for feet, isn't it??

*faints*
