My latest Disney adventure was totally amazing! It was fun to have my pal Melinda along, since she's a fellow Disney maniac, and Dae was a fantastic host, full of energy and able to survive 14-hour days of theme park madness. The parks were much busier than I expected, since usually October has fairly light crowds - I guess the 50th anniversary is keeping people in the park! Even though it was crowded, we still managed to ride just about every single thing that moves in both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, as well as enjoy the live music, shopping, and tons of food. Seeing the new parade and fireworks were a priority, so we snagged a front row spot an hour before parade (which means I got lots of personal waves from the performers!), as well as a prime fireworks viewing spot an hour and a half beforehand! Everything was worth the wait - I think the new fireworks were my favorite experience. All of us really enjoyed having lunch with the Disney princesses, too. We got some personal photo time with Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, and Ariel, and they were all knock-outs! As a big bonus, California Screamin' re-opened while we were there (after being closed for several weeks) - our timing was perfect. Even though this trip was only three months after my previous one, everything was still fresh - I guess I really can't get enough Disneyland.
