Okay, now I think that I am caught up.
Disneyland was great. Everyone kept predicting rain, but DH and I decided that as long as we had an umbrella with us, there would be no rain while we were at the parks. And there was none!!!
I will have to remember to go to DL in February more often. The lines are much shorter because of fewer people (still crowded, just not as bad). And the weather was great. Not to hot, not to cold, just right.
We went to DL on Thursday and the longest line that we had to wait in was Indiana Jones which was 30 minutes. We were going to do a fast pass for there but decided that the 30 minute wait was not to long.
In fact the only fast passes that we got were for Space Mountain on Thursday and Saturday, and Soarin' on Friday at CA.
Most of the rides were 10 minutes or less of a wait with most of the time spent actually walking from the entrance of the ride to the boarding of it.
Because we are both pretty familiar with DL and CA, we were able to see and do everything that we wanted and then some. I thought that if we rode Star Tours one more time I was just going to go bonkers. But, DH loves it, so what the heck. We also did Buzz Lightyear several times. Rode Pirates and it's a small world a couple of times as well.
We have decided that after about 7:30-8:00 is the best time to try to ride rides multiple of times. It seems that folks start lining up for either the evening parade or the firework show around that time, which makes for some relatively short lines.
I think we rode almost everything that we could in Fantasyland and tomorrowland that we wanted to ride. I don't know why, but Peter Pan seems to ALWAYS be crowded.
The rides that were down that I remember were the Matterhorn and the Riverboat. I know there were a couple of others, but those were the ones that we wanted to ride, but they were closed.
I even was able to catch Princess Tiana's Celebration. That was very nice and Princess Tiana was beautiful as was that dress. Makes me want to go out and have one made just for me



! We saw Cinderella over at CA and my DH commented that she looks just like a mannequin, especially when she was posing for picture. Moving, she looked a little more alive and real.
Everyone must catch the Aladdin show over at CA. This is a wonderful show and full of laughs.
As for food, we ate at the Plaza Inn the first night and split our dinner, which was perfect. The food was tasty, about what you would expect for that type of place. We also split a meal at Taste Pilot Grill. Those ribs were delicious. I am sure my DH wished he could have had my as well as his.
We ate, for the first time, at Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland hotel. That was a very upscaled restaraunt. The food was great if a tad bit pricey. But as long as DH was happy, that is all that really mattered to me.
And of course, we had to stop in a the Blue Bayou. That was just as we remembered.
I highly recommend making reservations and arriving a few minutes before your reservations time. That makes all the difference. We were seating within minutes of our arrival which was a few minutes before our scheduled time.
I can go on and on, but I will stop for now. If anyone have any other questions, just let me knw.
