Snowflake at Disneyland Meet - Friday, March 3rd - Page 5

Snowflake · 03-05-2006, 04:58 AM

I've landed, I'm home, Tango is SO glad to see her Mommy and I am SO dead! No sleep on the plane and I was really fidgety on the plane too.

More later, but it was GREAT to meet everyone and see all the wonderful, magical things in the park and ride on so many cool rides.

I think I can sum up the trip thusly, Lisa really gives great Disney!

Back when I've slept!

Donna

It was swell to meet you, Donna! (And extra swell to see you an extra day.) You were part of the best trip 'round Pirates ever!

MickeyLumbo · 03-05-2006, 08:54 AM

it was a blast to hang out with you! thanks for being so much fun.

Well, we never did get Heroin CHicken, but I think numerous Pirate sinkings was a good substitution.

I sure hope you're getting some sleep! I was a dead woman last night. We had a blast! Visit again soon!

Amd, I bow to the great benefactor of Disney.

Well, yeah...proving yet again I am the least consistent photographer (which is part of the reason why I have not yet shelled out for a new camera).

The day started off very rainy, it was pouring, in fact. NA and I did have some misgivings, but by the time we got to the park, no worries!

It was really amazing, look at the few grouchy people at the hub, this would prove to be ideal for it allowed us to make the most of the lack of people to walk on many rides. The first ride was Indy which was fabulous and was a proper start to my chiropractic session for the day.

NA proved to be a great hostess, and right after riding Thunder Mountain Railroad, we had a few additions to the group

and a happy group they were, maybe a touch over-twinked

The proof is in the PAN!

I'm sure this is something you'd never think you'd see, the backside of Mary Poppins.

Our very own Commodore joined us and proved to be most insistent about a visit to the Blue Bayou. But first he had to show off his latest purchase

Here we are at the Blue Bayou, gosh but I look really happy to be there and seem to be pleased with the menu choices!

MBC and Matt enjoying the rolls and awaiting their chocolate volcano cake

The Commodore took charge and we split a Monte Cristo and an order of Crab Cakes. After noshing, we were joined by CoasterMatt and iSm

After this, my camera went into my bag only to resurface to take some weird night photos.

On IASW I sat next to Chris

Since I was sitting next to Chris and NA did not get a chance to make out with him on IASW, not to miss a chance to be on the phone connection, she was yakking with Lindyhop

iSm, EM, CM and I then rode on the Matterhorn, NO LINE, and it was my first at night, which was totally fabulous! Sorry we could not repeat the experience.

Camping out at the hub for the fireworks I took a couple of blurry shots of the castle and many black blobs which should have been the castle.

Based on this I knew better than to even try taking pics of the fireworks, which were BTW, the most fantastic fireworks display I've ever seen. The projections and park tributes were fabulous.

NA modeling a new creation

Then I took a shot of the Astro-Orbiter for no good reason

GD & CP showed up, fresh from the airport for the fireworks (but I took no more pictures, for which I am sure you will thank me). We did a great Jungle Cruise and then Fantasmic, which was also just spectacular.

My head is still all fuzzy from lack of sleep, but on this first day I can't stress how much fun I had! And who knew, there was more fun in store.....

MouseWife · 03-05-2006, 12:41 PM

Those people DID look grouchy! Hee hee!! Then go home!! I love days like that. Prefer them to a sunny day anytime.

It looks like you all had a blast! The photos were great, even the blurry ones. They looked trippy.

I am glad that you guys had walk ons. The best way to enjoy the park. Envious that you got to ride Pan!

And, I think Lisa could orchestrate a meeting of the whole LoT bunch. Splendidly....

MickeyLumbo · 03-05-2006, 01:32 PM

"just say NO!"

Not Afraid · 03-08-2006, 07:48 PM

Well, it is about TIME I uploaded my photos!

Here's a few choice pics and the rest are located here.

It was a dark and stormy day and Disneyland look MUCH different to Snowflake than it had in 1977.

Our first set of Swankers joined us:

It's a Jolly Holiday for Showflake!

The Haunted Duct.

This was BEFORE the Monte Christo

.

Would You People STOP?

But, it is SOOOO romantic!

But, what is the HELL is this Nasty thing? Magnification?

A few more swankers in from the rain.

Great photos! It was a memorable first day back to DL for me, that's for sure. I don't think I could have had more fun and I didn't, until the Pirates meet the next day. It was totally perfect from start to finish.
