We're leaving for the park in a couple minutes. Dunno if there are any plans to meet up. Someone will have to call me or something. Or not.

I'm obviously not up in time for pre-work park hopping, but hopefully whoever's there will come by and say hi. I understand it's expected to get cold and rainy tonight.

It sounds like rain is forecast for after midnight so I'm thinking of getting to the park late this afternoon. And if I do that it will start raining at 6:00.

one of the best times I've ever had was in the park during a downpour

:)

We're going to head to the park later for some Christmas Cheer.

I see my request was honored.

Sorry we never managed to meet up with anyone. We were on the go all day, and when we couldn't find folks at the usual fireworks spot, we just inserted ourselves into the crowd where we could and made due. With my diminutive sister, we probably wouldn't have done well at the spot you guys were at anyway, so we stuck to the corner we found by the rope. We did spot Bornieo as we made our way down Main Street for the exit after 'works. But we'd been at the park since opening and were d-o-n-e.

But other than that little snafu, we had an AMAZING day. We were there at opening, and left just after fireworks. We had almost everything important done at Disneyland by 2:00 and were able get to DCA for the things they hadn't done there, plus a bit more. My brother-in-law's count was 23 attractions total for the day. That's a major success.

We of course missed things here and there. And CP and I dropped the ball regarding Small World. We headed for the subs first thing in the morning, forgetting that Small World Holiday is the most absurd line in the park. But no biggie.

More importantly, it was just awesome to spend the day with my sister. We were both raised on that place, and you can bet that if she lived down here, she'd be as big a dork about it as I am. She hadn't been in at least 5 years, possibly more. And the last time we went to Disneyland together may have been 17 years ago (we took them to the DCA AP preview, but that ain't Disneyland). So it was just so great to share it once again.

I hope the LoT meet had it's own magic too. :)

I always forget what it's like to show up at opening. We hit ride after ride after ride. Using fastpass well helped too. We didn't wait in a sizable line until we hit TSMM and that was after lunch. Yay, Disneyland day. :)

We were snubbed.

S-N-U-B-B-E-D!

Ahem, who lied to whom about where they'd be for fireworks?
