Disneyland!!!

So for spring break (yes, I am actually that far behind...) my Ho and I took a trip to Disneyland, aka, the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH (unless you're stupid like my Robert friend and think the happiest place on earth is Zion National Park). We stayed at my mom's house in Vegas the night of Sunday the 14th. Then we woke up around noon and drove to Anaheim. We checked into our hotel and took off to Disney. The first night we hit Pirates of the Caribbean (our favorite), the Haunted Mansion (our least favorite), the finding Nemo submarine ride, and the toy story ride where you shoot things... haha. It was so exciting to be at Disneyland- I hadn't been there since high school and I have to say- it really made me feel like a child again. It's exactly the way it was when I was little so I can still remember how everything seemed like magic then. It's still pretty magical- mainly because of that. We went back to our hotel when the park closed at midnight.
The next day we got up and had breakfast at our hotel- it was possibly the worst service I have ever had in my life... we waited a half an hour for our bill!!! Then we finally got to go to Disneyland! We thought we were going to see Honey I Shrunk the Audience but it was really Captain EO- a Michael Jackson video. It was soooo awesome! haha. We laughed pretty dang hard. I now dream of using a rainbow as a weapon. We went on rides until like four then we went back to the hotel and Casi took a nap. Then we went back to the park to catch the parade. We continued on to ride all the other rides in Disneyland, except Splash Mountain. I remember finding the Alice in Wonderland ride a lot more exciting as a child. And no matter what I always love It's A Small World. I even tried to get Casi to ride it again.
Wednesday we hit California Adventure. It was St. Patrick's Day- my absolute favorite holiday! So of course I was wearing a green Kiss Me I'm Irish shirt. The front of my shirt said kiss me and the back said I'm Irish. While we were standing in line Casi was trying to get a tan so I traded her spots because I had better sun exposure. She thought I was being nice... I turned around and said "read" and she was like "I'm Irish" and I said, "Yes, that's Gaelic for I melt in the sun." Haha. I have to admit the Soaring Over California was pretty cool. However, California Screamer or whatever it is called made me sick to my stomach. We enjoyed the Toy Story shooting ride immensely. And Casi got to know a side of me that she had never seen before. While playing the Toy Story shooting game Casi got a better score than me (she's in the army) but her accuracy was only like 30%. So I had to point out to her that she might have scored more than me, but my shots were 20% more accurate than hers. She turned to me and said, "And I never knew you were so competitive." Haha. We went to the Bug's Life show. I did not like getting slimed, stung, and bitten. Haha. We went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and as we were walking back Casi started cheering, "U-G-L-Y you ain't got no... what the heck is that?" I said, "It's a cheer." And she said, "No, that!" and pointed at a man in a Bubba Gump Shrimp costume that looked kind of like a penis. I said, "Oh, that's a shrimp". We decided that was one of the funnier sounding conversations we have had. We went back to the hotel for another nap after that. It was around this time that I was really wishing I could fly because my feet wanted to disconnect and run away. Haha. We went back to Disneyland and stood around for an hour in the pavilion waiting for the fireworks show. After the fireworks we went on Splash Mountain. I kind of wish we would have gotten the picture because if you could have seen my face you all would have died. I hate log rides. When I was little I used to close my eyes as soon as we got in the log and I wouldn't open them until the ride stopped. As a grown up I only felt the need to close my eyes for the drop. But they were very firmly closed and scrunched up. Haha. Gotta make sure I absolutely do not see any of the drop.
Thursday we decided to just take pictures. Here they are. For you my Midget. We actually stood in line for like an hour and a half to get our pictures taken with the Princesses. Tiana was very spunky- we liked her a lot.


We got to meet Minnie, my favorite... see our Minnie ears and my Minnie shirt?

And Mickey- while we were standing in line to meet Mickey, Minnie cut the line and made-out with him! Scandalous! Haha. Did you know that they are just dating after all these years? Men.
Jasmine...
Belle is my Princess! Nicole is Ariel, Bridget is Aurora, Casi is Mulan, and I am Belle. She has brown hair and likes to read... ME!
This was in Minnie's house. Her fashion magazine has Jessica Rabbit on the cover. Love it!

After we finished taking pictures we thought our feet needed to be amputated. Then we got lost in Anaheim. Then stuck on the 91 for a good two hours. Haha. It was an excellent trip over all. I loved going to Disneyland, meeting all our favorite characters, and spending four days with one of my best friends in the whole universe. Thanks for a great week Ho! I love you to pieces!
