Soooo...
I didn't go into work today. I had to visit a client in Santa Ana, so Matthew tagged along and we decided to find a new place to grab lunch, then head over to the park.
Driving down Harbor, a couple of miles from the park, Matthew spotted a sign for Thai food. Some might recall that we have been looking for good Thai food near Disneyland for quite some time. Today, we found it at a place called "Pat's House", proclaiming to serve "home-style" Thai food. We went in and were happy to discover lunch specials for $5.95. The service and food were outstanding. Generous portions and delicious. If you want some great cheap Thai food, I highly recommend it.
Then we went over to the park to see if we could stop in and ride IASWH. We parked in downtown Disney and were happy to find that the lines were very short to enter. This unfortunately didn't accurately represent the inside of the park which was very, very busy. We left after about an hour and headed back to our car, only to find a MAJOR traffic jam of cars trying to enter and exit the parking lot. It took about 20 minutes before we even got out of our parking space because nothing was moving. Finally, they decided to just open all the exit gates and not charge anyone. This fixed the problem.
Later, we drove around to an area that has all of these mansions that are heavily decorated for the holidays. It was a lot of fun to see how the rich decorate their homes. Can't imagine some of the electric bills.
Now, we are drinking spiked egg nog and playing video games. All in all, a very good day.
