I made it back to the bitter east coast. It's hot humid and they expect me to show up for work each day. *bleh*
San Francisco was fun, it was good to see the extended family but Friday and Saturday were the highlights of this trip.
Friday night Kevy and Susan met us at the Fiddler Fifer and Practical Cafe were they had pre-ordred us dinner allowing us to eat a fine meal and still make it to the 9:00pm WoC with a great view.
Kevy even went ahead and nabbed us a set of Glow with the Show ears.
After the show we took Momliner Soarin for the first time, then a quick ride under the sea before turning in for the night.
Saturday morning we hit Disneyland early, we even managed to get my traditional place in line. First.
We made a clean sweep of Fantasyland and added in the Matterhorn and IASW for good measure.
On the way in, mom mentioned how her biggest disappointment with Disneyland on her first trip ('56 ish?) was that she could not go inside the castle. So I was able to surprise her with the castle walk through.
Katisue and Maddie greeted us at the carousel with a fist full of Fastpasses.
From there we took a vehicle back down main street

We meet up with GD, CP and printer in the esplanade while making the jump over to DCA. Took a ride on the Red Car Trolley, visted a friendly turtle and some ever friendlier monsters before meeting up with a LoT of folks for the matinee showing of Aladdin (Kevy, Susan, Katisue, Maddie, CoasterMatt, MMG, BTD) before mom and I headed to the Carthay Circle restaurant for lunch where I learned that my mom used to sell candy at the original Carthay Circle theater back in the day. From there, we did RSR (twice!) before stopping in at Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop for a late afternoon snack with the gang.
From there it was back over to DL, for a slow walk down main street, the Tiki Room, Pirates and Splash before dinner at the Blue Bayou and the 9:00pm Fantasmic/Fireworks. It was my first time to see Murphy, very cool.
After that we hit tomorrowland for Buzz and Star Tours before heading home for the night.
With all the fastpasses, seat saving and line holding you guys did for us it was like we had both parks to ourselves. I made for one happy Momliner!
