A wee little trip to disneyland. NOW A TR!!! come check out our adventure! complete!

Thats super cool! I hope he gets the job! yes they are pretty awesome luggage tags I was suprised at how heavy duty they were last time I went we got the Tinkerbell ones, but I was always afraid they'd fall off!
 
So it has been decided that easter is going to spent in Cali at my grandpas house, I had to weasl my way out of two days more off work since its the week before our DLR trip :ssst: but it will be worth it to see my grandpa, hes one of those awesome relatives who doesnt complain that you never come down to see them, which makes him awesome and yet make us miss him all the more :love: plus he travels all over (but doesnt do disney :eek:) so we dont see him too often. Also I bought the stuff so I can scrap book after our DLR trip I found a great mickey album and some stickers at my work. I wanted this book we had at work a while ago that came witht he stickers, but its gone now. Ill post pics of what I did get when I get home, but at the moment Im at Jared's (I tend to stay here on the weekends). On a sad note I seem to have got a cold :sick: it totally sucks since its so nice outside!
 
Get better quick.....of course it's better to get it now & not right before you leave!!!
 
Looks like a great birthday!

Hope you feel better soon, and looking forward to reading all about the trip!
 


I hope I feel better soon too I called in to work to try and feel better, but I cant afford to do it more then one day! thanks for all the well wishes guys!:love::love:
 
So this isnt Disney related, but today my BF and I went house shopping and found what we believe to be the perfect place. I only needs paint and to have the carpets cleaned, is in a reasonabley good neighborhood, has a huuuugggeee back yard especially for out here in vegas and is only 44,000 dollars. we're pretty sure we want to buy it but my BF who is doing the actual buying is talking to his fam and geting some much needed advise. Hopefully it will work out but we'll see I suppose. :scratchin
 
So I just got back from visiting my grandpa for Easter which was fun Ill post my pics sometime this week, I have tons of homework so we'll see how it goes. Only 3 more days till we leave everyones getting excited! :cool1:
 


YAY I got my tickets today Im so excited only 3 more weeks :cool1:
Our Tickets came with PS for Aladdin and Toon Town Morning Madness We decided we may find kiddies to give these to as we currently dont plan to use these, but we'll see. Also we got coupons for our pins and lanyards which I pray I dont loose this time, last time my sister Cambria accidently through her pin away so I scarificed mine. Also we got really cute Mickey Luggage tags. Here are the pics.

Today will most likely be my last post before I leave. I may post something tommrow if Im to bored of excited. Tommrow night Jared has class and plans to pick Cambria and I up from our house around 8:30pm to go stay the night at his house, so that we can get a super early start Friday morning so we can get to the park by at least 10. Cambria and I plan to get in the mood, by watching my Disney Treasures Disneyland USA dvd, as well as a Disney movie or two depending on what we have time for. We're all pretty jazzed about leaving. The only stree at the moment is Jareds mom is in the hospital, she will be there for the next two weeks because of a digestive problem they want to run some continued tests and she needs to be on an IV. Were all hopeing she feels better soon. So thats about all as far as tommrow goes, I cant wait to to go and when I get back Im sure Ill have tons of pics and experiences to share. Speaking of pics I have some from last weekends day trip to my Grandpa's who live in Mission Viejo Ill close this post by posting them.

Ok so we woke up at 3am on April 17th we actually slept pretty well the night before which is rare before a trip to Disneyland. Teh morning went pretty smoothly. We had a light brekfast the girls had raison toast (mine was burnt :crazy2:) and then hit the road. By sunrise we were almost in barstow it was about 6:30 am I wanna say, we pulled over at one point so photographer Jared could get a shot of the sunrise it was freezing! After that we stopped in barstow for some yumm starbucks. These shots are in the car just before that. I have the camera...so none of me sad.

We arrived in Anaheim at 9:00 just as planed woo hoo how often does that happen. We didnt even get lost thank you map quest and GPS! Here are some pics of the ride.

l_518ddfc595f44fec963a2069b2f70755.jpg

At this sign Jared tried to convince Cambria that we should go to the Honda Center instead and I said I was feeling the Convention center Cambria looked a little like this :scared1:

After getting there we easily checked in to our hotel the Ramada inn Main gate, our room wasnt ready yet though so I didnt get pics till much later. The room was nice, we opted not to have the maid come in, I didnt wanna have to put everything away the next morning before the parks. No one showered accept Jared so we had plenty of towels and such.

At about 10 we finally made it into the park. We took this picture because both cambria and I LOVE Bolt, we also LOVED Pushing daises and are sooooo Sad its gone, we hardly even watch Tv any more. Also theres your first look at the shirts I was talking about, mine came out a bit snug, its now handed down to Cambria, but I wore it anyway I was in the spirit.

l_37a7c2beec21497f8d178644bdf6282a.jpg


The first thing we did was run some errands. We got into the park, got a phot pass card which was errand number one, we had our picture taken in front of the mickey flowers, but I didnt like the way they came out so I probably wont buy them, and I didnt get enough pics to make it worh the 80 to buy the whole Cd. The gentleman who took our pictures was really fun though he told lots of jokes while he took our pic, he asked where we were from and we said Vegas, and he said we didnt look it because we didnt have funny colored hair. SO from that moment foreward anyone who had pink purple etc hair we all said must be from Vegas. Our second errand was to pic up our buttons! I got one that said my 100th trip, and it seemed most people thought this ubelievable, Jared got his I just graduated button, and my sister Cambria got her birthday button. We played a game to see who would get the most comments from people. Cambria was told Happy birthday 65 times according to our totals so ..she won. Our next Errand was to get a locker for our jackets and glow sticks, and of course any souvies we wre going to acquire. Next was to get an Indy Fast pass Cambria and Mine Fave ride (we each have diffrent number twos though lol). Which is how we wound up in adventure land to take these pics.

(one of my fave pics this trip.)

After we got our fast passes it was off to find a potty here's a pic I took of Cambria during the search around Frontier land.

l_e967701e9f244b9bb3d3a7ebe6bfc3d3.jpg


After we found the bathroom our First ride was the HAUNTED MANSION a first for Jared. Cambria and I were so excited to get him on the attraction we forgot to take pic's >.< We went back later to get some. Unfortunatly Jared was thinking it was gonna be seriously scarey so when we came off of it he said well that wasnt Scarey at all. Otherwise he liked it though he said it was fun, but Cambria and I didnt get the reaction we thought we would oh well :confused3. Next up was of course my personal number two PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN. Jared had never seen Jack etc before and he was impressed, but like me didnt like the Davey jones Fog screen effect. Heres our pics.

After Pirates we wanted to do some big rides, before Jared ate lunch because of his motion sickness so we headed over to BIG THUNDER MOUTIAN RAILROAD. Jared had never ridden this one before either and it is now on his fave list right under Matterhorn which is still is number 1. Here are the pics from that.

Shes very photo genic so these ones were great, but after the first couple hours she gets tired of the camera I think theres one of her on Indy where she looks miserable lol, also theres a lot where she blinked and I didnt notice. I myself have issues with my smile, sometimes it comes out great others it refuses to show even when Im trying:confused3
 
I typed this all up last night and just before I hit post, my dad cuts off the net:eek: now being my adult self I should be able to just plug it back in and un plug it before I go to bed, but it bugs my dad soooo Sa le ve and I post this in the morning.

Ok I finally got a change to get back to the computer woo hoo, now were we? Oh yes we had just gotten off of Big thunder. Im not sure how, but in trying to get back to adventure land to use our Indy fast passes before lunch we wound up walking through Fantasy land so I suggested we do the sleeping beauty walk through because I was excited to see the changes. I highly recommend this walk through it has soem pretty amazing special effects inside it.

Ok so after the walk through we managed to get to adventure land, I still dont know how we got into Fantasy land Ive been trying to remeber and it just hasnt come to me. Anywhew we made it into adventure land and for the first time EVER didnt start with the Jungle cruise which is another one of my faves, its just soo Classic Disneyland. We started with Indy instead I was suprised to see that the rooms were moveing, and instead of getting fortune for the hundreth time we got future yay! After Indy we decided to have lunch having not eaten since the star bucks I mentioned earlier. We decided on bengal BBQ and here are the first food porns pics of the trip (Jared and Cambria thought I was crazey for taken pics of food the whole trip) There of course wasnt a table in adventure land to be had :crowded: so we carried our food over to some table by pirates and had lunch there.

After lunch we went back into adventure land and over to the tiki room. We got in a line thinking it was for the acutal tiki room and I said ... Ive never been in a line for Tiki Cambria make sure its not for Dole whip. Sure enough it was for Dole whip. So we went around and into the Tiki Room waiting area and waiting in a much shorter line for our dole whp. This was our first encounter with a rude person Cambria went to pay for her Dole whip with Disney dollars of course and some lady was intrested in them and asked to see them so my sister handed her a 1 dollar bill thinking if she runs off with a one I guess she needed it more then me. The lady asked her so many questions that someone behind got impatient and said "you have to pay her little girl" to which Cambria answered yes thats Why I have money out.
Here is cambria eating her dole whip, while sitting in my lap because ther were no seats left. As well as some pics of the tiki gods. I didnt get any inside because I was to busy eating my dole whip and sining along

l_c498e0453f46443aa95cda5c115d0d10.jpg


After the tiki room is where the first split up of the day happened. Cambria and I wanted to ride Winnie the pooh, which was not a ride Jared was intrested in. He had on Wedsnday been handed and Assignment due tommrow (Wedsnday the 22nd) to take 6 portfolio worthy picture print them and mount them in a portfolio to turn in, he also had to pic a topic. SO since he totally freaked out and didnt know when hed do it since wed be out of town he picked Disneyland as his topic. SO periodicly he disappeared to take pictures of the parks. The pics are AMAZING and as soon as he gives me a disk I will totally post them for you all. So Jared gives me his ticket to fast pass splash for him and Cambria and I head off for Critter country. On the way we notice the Kodak moment sign and are so amused we decided to have our own Kodak moment since I have a Kodak camera!

l_7e34cab89b9e4ff0b6ee3a2b8d223d14.jpg


Now you will notice that I dont have any pics of inside the attractions. I have this thing about it. I dont like flash pics on any ride it makes me really angrey more so then it probably should :rolleyes1 I also prefer to enjoy the ride through my eyes not my lense so Im sorry I dont have any of those for you guyes to enjoy I sometimes wish I wasnt so anal :guilty:

So after our Kodak moment we finished our trek to Critter country where we fast passed Splash Moutian, to Cambria's Dismay as this is one of the three we were trying to get her to face her fears on. ( I would never force her on anything mind you) and then headed over to Winnie.

Heres a pic of Splash I got inline for Winnie and is the only one because I put my camera in the locker before splash so it wouldnt get wet:upsidedow

l_532ba6773cbc48ada1c32155129e5778.jpg


After that we decided to do the Teacups, and then fast pass Roger Rabbit before meeting up with Jared at Small World. Here are the pics we took from the train.

When we got of the train at toon town station, we magically bumped into Jared who wasnt finished takeing pics. So we went in to fast pass roger rabbit I asked Cambria if she wanted to visit Mickey in his house, but she said she'd done it so many times before she really just wanted to do stuff she doesnt always get to do, like the tea cups theres always and I dont want to spin preson. Also Cambria has really been getting in to Alice and Wonderland she's been reading the book and loving it, she loves the movie to and all her souvies just about were Alice. So we went to have a cup of tea.

l_4b1d53b49612486582eb121d6205fa52.jpg


Im totally bummed none of these pics show off the coolness that is my shades they have checkers down the sides, which as a lover of Ska music I think is awesome. As it is all the pics make me look like Paris Hilton oh well :confused3

l_0f8a80a7fcc3442b8d6fa67fd13cfee7.jpg


After our cup of tea we werent sure where to go from there we considered going over to Mr. Toad when Jared called and said he had gotten enough pics and was over by small world. We walked over and didnt see him right away so I called him while cambria went to buy a lolli pop. Jared was soon found but then Cambria was missing so Jared went to get her and OMG the line moved and I was suddenly one of THOSE people that stand in line and let there whole party cut :sad2: I felt very bad about it. Although the line was shorter then I expected. Heres the pics of us with Small world

l_e965f2a2703d46cbbdd5107c90b81d77.jpg


After its a small world, we went over to toon town to ride Roger Rabbit. At this point Jared was feeling a little tired having driven all morning and wondering around the park. So he decided he would go back and get into our room and lay down for a nap, and then meet us for Splash and Lunch. So Cambria and I decided to get a start on fantasy land. We started with Pinochio

l_86b6c2ff893f40929d791024453ba606.jpg


Next we head on over to do Snow White. There was a man at the end of the line with a little girl who was afraid (she looked maybe two) he asked me how it was and i had to be honest I told him it was a little scarey and he decided to take her on Dumbo ;)

The guy in the background there looks like he reeeeally didnt enjoy it lol

l_3b2684c336cb457aa68dd34fb7078094.jpg



Cambria started to get a little bit of a headache while we were inline and wanted to take off her hat, so we decided to head up mainstreet and go to the locker, and then take the train to Critter country to meet Jared at Splash. Unfortunalty it was 3:30 and there was no walking down mainstreet until the parade was finished, so we took the time to take some pics around the castle and partners statue.

l_a1c36f0f7559481fa4d3ac4cf9941e23.jpg


We sorta saw the parade as it went by the hub and up mainstreet, We arent really parade people. I thought this one was particularly uncool because all the floats are basically the same the only thing that makes them neat are the characters that are on them.

l_54625d304077461790717f2c87fecdce.jpg


After the parade dispersed we started to walk towards the locker and stopped in the emporium where cambria found Wonderland Tea and a Alice in Wonderland tea cup she fell in love with. She went ahead and bought it there because we were on our way to the locker anyway.

So we finally made it back to the locker and then tried to take the train back to New Orleans Square and then walk up to Critter Country, however the trains were still closed because of the parade so we had to walk. Once we got there it was crazey trying to find Jared because it was hot so TONS of people were rideing splash. We made it on and Cambria as expected didnt enjoy the hills, but did enjoy the ride, she says she would do it again.

After that we went over to Hungry bear for lunch where I enjoyed one of the most delcious hamburgers Ive ever eaten. I had never eaten at Hungrey Bear before, but I know I will again and again! mmm heres some food porn for you.

After lunch we of course headed over to pooh corner and bought some treats we opted to wait till tommrow to see the fireworks show so our decsion was to spend the evening in tommrow land to try and get Space moutian with a short line. We were going to head back to the locker to drop off our treats and pick up Jackets and glow sticks but of course the parade was there again so we took some pics on the way in front of HM and then we sat in the hub and took some more pics.

After the parade ended and the locker was visited again we headed over to tommrow land and got inline at Buzz. Soon after in line JAred started to feel really tired, but he wanted to get some more pics of the park at night. So after buzz he rode the ride with us he took off for some more picture takeing and then went back to the hotel to sleep. Cambria and I didnt wanna do space moutian with out him so we did star tours which he cant ride anyway and then headed back to fantasyland. Here are our pics from Tommrow Land.

I'm with you on Celebrate (although I am a parade person). We didn't really even stop to watch the parade when we were there, but I saw it in passing. I have to agree. It doesn't feel like a parade and it left me feeling a little down. Watching POD was always one of my absolute favorites. There is no way this one can compare. Not eve close.

Can't wait for more, but I'll be patient popcorn::
 
Loving it so far!!!! I had to giggle at the Dole Whip thing......sheesh lady, get real!!! No Disney spirit there!!!
Great pics!!
