This morning, we got up at 6 a.m.
I'll wait a minute to let that sink in.
We SET OUR ALARM...while on VACATION...so we could get up at 6 a.m.
The gates at Disneyland were opening at 7 a.m., and we wanted to be there to beat the crazies...and ride a few of the popular rides first.
First problem: Leanne said it looked like they were letting EVERYONE in at 7 a.m.
Second problem: Not all of the rides were open at 7 a.m....
Which...HENCE THE EARLY PASSES, people.
(UGH)
Oh, hellooo-crazy-people-with-the-same-idea.
But we were so happy and excited to be there! Leanne knows Disneyland about as well as she knows Disney World. I mean, let's face it...she's a pro. She knows what time is what and what rides are good and where the best place is to see the parade. Or the fireworks. Or the light-show. Or Tinkerbell.
So when she said, "let's go here" or "let's ride this first" we did. No questions asked.
We walked and waited and rode and laughed and took pictures. Lather, rinse, repeat.
About mid-afternoon, we decided to let 'em all have it for a while and went back to the room for a well-deserved nap. Actually, I got Holly to go with me to one of the shops to pick up some treats for everyone...and when we got back to the room, Leanne was halfway to sleepy-town.
After naps, we went back to Downtown Disney for dinner at a little Mexican restaurant, and then went back into the park for the rest of the night. We got to see the World of Color light show they have each night at Disney's California Adventure Park. It. was. awesome.
As soon as it was over...I'm talkin' last note and last firework POP of the grand finale...we took off running (and by running, I mean that we walked really fast) because there was a ride or two that we really wanted to ride.
We finished up the night with Leanne getting a cream cheese pretzel, and Holly and I getting Mickey ice-cream bars.
Mmmmm..mmmmm...thaaaaaaaaat's right.
It was such a fun day!
