2008 Christmas Swanking

[Ghoulish Delight]

The reports I'm reading show rain early Saturday, and then on Monday, but not Sunday.

Of course, best case scenario is the reports threaten rain, it's a overcast misty morning, people stay away, and it doesn't rain.

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.

Alas, I think we're out on the swanking this year. Way too much to do - and it's our last weekend day before we fly back to Michigan. Where the **** did this year go?

[Disneyphile]

Ken and I are out too. We still don't have our place decorated, and I have gifts to bake/make, plus I'm trying to wrap out the final bits of contracted work so I can get paid.

I really just want to kick back the whole week of Christmas to NYE, so I need to get stuff done so I can do that.

Well, is anybody else going to DL tomorrow?

We'll be there all day, with dinner at Jazz Kitchen being the only thing on the agenda.

No DL for me on Sundays. I'm at Larchmont Farmer's Market, selling the cheese to the people.

We're planning to go tomorrow. We have lunch reservations at the Blue Bayou and I'll be sporting my birthday button. Yay! We also have some shopping to do. We'd still like to meet up with folks if they're going, or we'll just go it alone.
