Just found you via Miss Cammie's pre-trippie and thought I'd take a peek! We have recently become Disneyland people (moving from the East coast to Vegas will do that to a Disney Family!) and I'm becoming acquainted to the Disneyland side of the DIS!
I'm going to read your TR now!
)
But it was cute and we were VERY glamorous and we loved it. 
Oh well.. they were cute and you couldn't really tell. 
There's a lot that was so cool besides just the movies even... the nature shows.. all those great Sat/Sun evenings in front of the TV seeing the REAL CASTLE up there on the magic box.... really, really, really good.. strike that.. GREAT times. 
but.... after our wedding, later that night.... my DH rode it with me! Awwww... how cute!!! What a sweetie. 
they weren't exactly sure themselves! ... or it could be somebody else... you don't really know! However, in the Toy Story ride your "ray beam" is visible AND color coded! You know exactly what you're shooting at and you know which thing you're hitting... it makes it much more fun, IMHO. I also feel like they turned down the "difficulty" level in this game which makes it feel more fullfilling because even a video-game-challenged mom and her not-allowed-to-play-video games DD's can actually hit quite a few of these targets. 
....You get onboard and you are whisked in front of a large screen of targets... you shoot... then you're whisked to another large screen of targets.... you shoot...then more whisking ...don't get me wrong.. it's fun BUT... I dunno... it's a fairly large break from tradition... and I'm fairly traditional. It felt like more of a really well done video game than a "ride." Again.. this does not mean I didn't like it... I'm just sayin. You know?? I don't know. lol 
We were off to the other side of the park AGAIN! 
Especially with 3 toddlers! 
LOL
I love your update!! IT'S ABOUT TIME ~~~
Mmmmmmmm that margarita looks yummy. I'll have to try one when I'm there.
I'm so excited to ride the new Toy Story Ride, I just hope the ride isn't too long. Like I said I don't wait in lines over 30mins.
When we hit Vegas I'm tempted to try the rides on top of the stratosphere. We'll see if I actually have the guts or not, some of them look really scary.
That birthday party sure looked like it was a hit. Good JOB!!
Now that's scary! Great update!! Looks like you did a great job with the party! Good job mom.
We don't have b-days that close together, but my b-day is in October, my DD Noelle's is in Nov, DS Adam's is in Dec, and DH Ruben's is in Jan, so we have four right in a row! Plus throw in Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and that is one busy and EXPENSIVE time of year for us.
The TSMM ride is awesome! I love the graphics so much better then Buzz. We lucked out and were able to go when they had the preview. I think we only waited about 15 minutes max. and went on it more then once.
I heard stories of when it first opened to the public, people were waiting HOURS, some over 5 hours in line!!!
OH, you asked on another TR about how to update your title. Just go to your first post and click on the bottom part that says EDIT. Then click on the tab that says Advanced Edit. From there you will see your title and you can delete things and add things as needed and then just save it.
Hope that helps!
Yes, it's the Jazz Cafe. Oops...I didn't write the full name.
I would say the Mimi's is about 30 mins away. Everything in Atlanta is always a "drive" away. LOL. But a lot of people do rave about the food there. I do want to try new things. Have you ever been to In n Out Burger? Read about here on the dis. Any suggestions would be great, too.
We want to visit Newport Beach. I know I sound stingy but I only planned one non-disney day!
I will be sure to let you know about the ptr.
You are so lucky to have taken that tour.. when we heard about it we were ULTRA excited! It's really lame that they took it away.. it was SO beautiful! The brass tries to make it sound like it was a part time venture but that was TOO much work for part time. There were some interesting articles on the Motley Fool that talked about how bad of a decision it was.
If you have any pics related to the tour, let me know! Is there a TR??
In N Out is ONLY hamburgers, fries, and shakes/drinks.. just to warn you. My husband doesn't eat beef and it was TOUGH to get into the parking lot and crowded etc just to find out there was no food for him! The hamburger's are OK.. definitely get a double-double as the patties are paper thin. They're more of phenonmenon for their bumper sticker, I think!
As for a tasty fast food treat, we enjoyed the Fat Burger fries quite a bit! Also, El Pollo Loco is fun (and somewhat healthy due to roasted chicken options) choice for a different take on mexican.
Ummm.... Sonic Burger has some tasty Onion Rings and any kind of flavored drink you could POSSIBLY imagine up.
My girls LOVED LOVED LOVED the beach! I would highly recommend a day in the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, the waves don't accept PS arrangements and sometimes they don't play nice for the one day you have to visit... but we had a great time splashin in fairly calm and (eventually) warm surf. Well, warm compared to Pacific Northwest water.. not warm compared to Mexico. But do-able for sure.
And don't forget... Knott's Berry Farm!! Check it out..it's totally cool.
It's funny when you're reading other TR's you get the link for MORE TR's in the quotes/replies then you read THEIR TR's and it's just a big circular TR love fest! LOL 
I would never get on that Stratosphere ride in a million years! It looks so scary. I'm deathly afraid of heights, so I know I couldn't do it. We lived in LV several yrs ago, and I had a couple friends ride, but I didn't even go up there. You guys are brave!
I am grumpy in the heat! LOL But my littlest girl was born there and if you ask her where she was born she used to say, "BAGAS BAYBEE!" 
I grew up in So Cal and we went to DL quite a bit. Back then it was free to get in and rides were a seperate "ticket" price per ride!
One of these days I'd love to dig up some old photo's... just gotta find 'em
