Disney welcomed me home, so next time I'm asking for some closet space and a place to crash - I hear there's a room above the fire station that's free...

I'm taking my laundry.

Maybe Walt's Frozen Head will do the laundry for you.

Agree.

Ok, so I went to Disneyland today because I've been deprived of fireworks and the park since last Thursday!

Went to the 50th exhibit, The Gallery, POTC (BoOM!)Splash! and Tiki Room. I saw the Parade of Dream in a cool spot. The area between Ariel and the Matterhorn. They stopped twice in that area. Once near the front with the Beauty and the Beast float and the second stop was The Lion King. I saw the parade on Thursday and I though it was good. I was so far back then, I couldn't hardly hear the music. Today, I tell ya, I'm glad I had sunglasses on because it really got to me.

Fireworks was great also. Tink showed up.

Biggest cool thing was finding my pictures. I went to Main Street and went to the computer by the Steemboat Willie montage and found that 3 of my pictures were on THE STEEMBOAT WILLIE monatage! How cool is that, plus one of those was repeated 2 times on that one.

YAY!

very cool Bornieo - we hadnt been since last thursday, well, because we were back east. Anyhow, the fireworks were amazing, I snapped a bunch of pics with the new camera, have to see if they came out.... will try and post them up later today if they did :D

Oh.
My.
God.

I went to Disneyland for the first time in over a year today on an ASB Mystery Trip. As soon as I stepped onto Main Street, I noticed something, yet I couldn't quite place it. Then it hit me. The place was sparkling! Fresh paint all around, the Disneyland Band marching down and playing, clean streets and sidewalks. It truly was a Homecoming. I was at Disneyland.

As I skipped down Main Street (yes, my ASB friends and I linked hands and skipped, avoiding crowds and strollers, of course), I was amazed to see it was like that all around. The castle was amazing. We turn into Tomorrowland, and I am giddy with excitment as I see the new white and blue paints and mural. We went on Buzz, and I was pleasently surprised at the quality and duration of the ride. Of course I sucked (a measly 31000 points), but the ride was still a blast.

It seemed wherever I went in the park, cast members were smiling, happily welcoming us into their park. The new gold motiffs throughout the park are tastefully done.

Highlight of the day had to be when we managed to get the Gold teacup. Six of us squeezed in, barely fitting (well, actually, not fitting at all, but managing to get in tight enough so the CM, who was awesome about it and took our picture and stuff, would be ok with it).


Quite a few times we got stuck on rides (Indy, Big Thunder, the Monorail, and, surprisingly, Jungle Cruise), but it didn't matter. Everything about that park has turned for the better. The alluding to Nemo on the sub walls is an awesome touch. The murals are awesome (couldn't find my picture though). The cast members are awesome. The characters are awesome (we saw Jane, Rafiki, Buzz, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Pooh, Donald, Woody, and Tigger, all without stepping foot inside Toontown).


When I went on Pirates, I couldn't believe my eyes. How long have the new jets been in during the battle scene? The water splashing 8 feet into the air really adds to the experience.

The new parade is WAY WAY WAY better than PotS. I personally love the Lion King float. The new fireworks, are, well, awesome as well, and thats from seeing them from the parking lot.

Bravo.


By the way, anyone else notice the mickey topiary at the front enterance has a tail?

DisneyFan, what's an ASB Mystery Trip? And why, WHY did you have to see fireworks from the parking lot?

Isn't the Park nice now?

Yeah, if they were nice from the Parking Structure, they're AMAZING from the Hub... You gotta make it happen again, and plant yourself inside... totally worth it.

If he tells you, then it won't be a mystery anymore.;)
