Official 50th trip reports and tidbits

Did NA get her horsey ride?

Yep, and it was awesome! Highlight of the day for us. Well, one of two. Walking in at 7am and being greeted by all of the cast members (including Matt) lining the streets was pretty damn cool. Totally took us by surprise.

Did 80 of her close friends join in?

I think there were 70 of us, singing happy birthday to disneyland, doing the wave, and other geeky things.

How were the cupcakes?

Sweet enough to kill a diabetic.

How were the crowds?

Not as bad as we expected. All rides were a walk-on for the first hour or so at least, while everyone waited for merchandise or camped out for a good spot for the birthday "festivities". Later in the day, the crowds started thinning out. Guess, a lot of people were there primarily for the merchandise and ceremony. By 1pm, it looked like any typical summer weekend day.

Well, almost sweet enough to kill a diabetic. I had 2 of the ones that were in the Castmember break areas. Still alive!

We also had free beverages, bagles, strawberry yogurt, Coke 0, Dasani water, assorted cookies, apples and oranges. They treated us right!

Best thing was the Castmember birthday bag of goodies. We got a limited edition of the Disneyland Line (Cast newpaper), anniversary golden ears, a hard bound Castmember's only book, and the golden "I worked there, July 17, 2005" castmember pin. We get the final set of Cast exclusive trading cards on the 21st, along with the commemorative tin to put all 50 cards in. All that, and a window on Main Street! I feel so special to be a Castmember! *sniffle*
