That's why I love having friends. Since I can't be everywhere at once, and though I may have a twinge of envy over the fun they had that I did not ... I revel in their happiness and in their having the fun that I could not possibly have absent Clone Me or Evil Me in their midst with a brain-download set for later in the evening.
The other thing great about having friends, and so blessed many of them, is that - with Disneyland less crowded on the birthday than the hype would have us fear - it seemed as if we practically had the Park to ourselves - - because everywhere I turned, there were some people I knew and loved. And anytime I needed to see someone, there they freaking were ... thanks to the usual 7/17 magic. And though some plans went off as planned, so many more did not ... and yet were adapted and revised spontaneously so that everything the entire weekend worked out well and wonderfully - - again all part of the customary 7/17 magic.
Disneyland did so little to make its 50th memorable and spectacular .... but friends did so much. Together, we MADE Disneyland's Birthday. So thanks to everyone we spent time with in the Park, everyone we rode a ride with, everyone we sunk a boat with, everyone who sailed under our pirate flag, everyone who attraction quested with us, everyone who took over the caroussel with us, everyone who took it in the caboose with us, everyone who drank-up with us at the bars, everyone who got high with us on the balconies, everyone who watched fireworks with us, everyone who rode Space with us, everyone who partied with us at the best bloody suite at the Resort, and everyone who had all the fun I didn't. Believe me ... with all the fun I had, there must have been very little left over that I didn't ... but I'm so glad my friends had those bits of fun that I couldn't manage to squeeze in.
Let's do it all again for the 75th.
You can wheel me around in a wheelchair.
