Here's a couple of totally new things I got to see at Disneyland this time! Since I usually visit the park during the off-season, I never get to hear the Disney All American College Band. Each year Disney brings in some of the best musicians from college bands across the country, and they perform at the park during the summer. Dae and I got to hear them twice - once during a big band swing set at the Plaza Gardens, and again marching down Main Street. They were absolutely fantastic and full of energy, and their arrangements of Disney tunes were top-notch (their director was totally crazy, but tons of fun). While Dae and I were waiting in line for the Matterhorn Bobsleds, we timed it just right to see the Matterhorn climbers, including Mickey, who made it to the top of the mountain to plant a 50th anniversary flag! I've always loved old footage of the Matterhorn climbers, so it was really exciting to see them hanging from their ropes and making their way up. Mickey's performance was so cool and funny, especially with Minnie and Goofy nearby to cheer him on! There are a few shots of both of these cool experiences in today's photo set, which generally covers Main Street and Fantasyland! Stay tuned for more Disneyland details soon.
