A quick trip to the Happiest Place on earth leaving Tuesday morning at 3:00 a.m. arriving at the gates in time to find whatever rides had no lines, enjoy our favorite Disneyland cuisine and just have a great time leaving the "real world" behind for a while. It was an awesome 2 days and a fun time was had by all. After getting stuck on Splash Mountain (pictures below) and getting off the boats and being ushered off the ride with George viewing, in awe, the behind the scenes workings he exclaimed "Nothin' in Disneyland is real" and really folks, isn't that why we love it????? Buzz Lightyear has become one of our new favorites with even Scotty scoring a cool 1100 points for the day. George has given up Thunder Mountain for his new favorite The Matterhorn and Emily would have been pleased to just stay in the stroller and write in her new Tinkerbell notebook. "Please, just let me stay here, I'll be o.k." she would say at each ride but she did go on Space Mountain (oh, wow) and I won't say she was coerced, just really didn't know what she was getting into and neither of the 2 adults with her at the time wanted to stay and tend her but, oh well. I personally think there is quite a bit of child abuse going on at DL with children being "bribed" to go on rides they don't want to and dragged around in the cold (and heat) way past their bed time in the name of "happiness". But I have to admit, I love it for the escape from the "real world" myself so whatever it takes; those babysitting passes are great.
