Alright... Back to my Trip Report!
When I last left off I had just met Jack & Sally. What I didn't mention is that previous to getting in line for Jack & Sally I had been talking to Sara through text and phone calls and she was going to be coming out to DL and we were going to meet up.
Therefore after my time with Jack & Sally I headed to Town square and the Giant Mickey Pumpkin as that was where we were going to meet up.
You can read Sara's account of our night HERE (if you haven't already)
So I was waiting kitty corner from the Giant Pumpkin because of the crowds I was trying to stay out of the way but still be able to see Sara when she got there. As I was waiting I asked someone who looked like they were part of the Scavanger Hunt if they were indeed doing a Scavanger Hunt like I had thought. Instead of answering me he handed me a business card that said I'm sorry I can't stop to talk, please check us out at mouseadventures.com
So I see Sara approach the Pumpkin and saw her looking around. I crossed to where she was and was like "Sara?" Yup! We decided right away to head to DCA as the crowds in DL were so bad!
Once we get to DCA Sara asks if its okay if we stop at the Wine Bar. I say sure. She gets her Champagne and I order a Zinfandel. Now I like Zins that are really berryliscious and this one was a little more dry for my taste but still okay. Of course they were being generous and filled the glass almost to the top so when I went to smell the wine I spilled it on my shirt! thankfully I had on my multicolored shirt and you couldn't even tell!
After we had enough of our drinks to be able to carry our glasses without spilling (anymore in my case!) we headed to Paradise Pier as I was wanting to ride Toy Story again!
I beat Sara but she had better accuracy!
After Toy Story we headed to California Screamin for a ride on my FAVORITE coaster!
Sara then suggested we get our faces painted! I jumped at this chance as I had always wanted to do this!
what was ironic was I told Sara i liked hers better than mine and she said she liked mine better! I guess we sat in the wrong chairs.
After getting our faces down we headed to Mickey's Fun Wheel. the NON-swinging side! It's a much better ride with great views than the swinging side!
After The Fun Wheel we headed back to the Wine Bar to grab another drink. This time I had a Chardonnay which I liked better and Sara had another Champagne.
We then either took a flight on Soarin' or headed to DTD for Dinner. We did both that night I just don't remember when we rode Soarin!
Either way Sara took me through the Grand Californian to get to DTD and she suggested we eat at Tortilla Jo's which ended up being a GREAT suggestion! We shared the nacho's and i had a mojito to drink. They were both wonderful!
After dinner we headed to DL to catch a trip on Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy. Where in line we encountered someone with a BAD Mullet Wig! He looked just like Billy Ray Cyrus!
After Ghost Galaxy we headed back to DCA so Sara could show me Electronica where we watched the 3D preview which was pretty awesome!
After that we parted ways and since it was getting late I decided my day had gone long enough so I headed back to my motel to get some rest. The next day would be my last at Disneyland!

Stay of the DIS and get to editing. Don't fall into a trap and pay for an extension.

So last I left off many moons ago I had finished Day 4 of my trip and I had one day left!
Unfortunately during the night the cold I had felt coming on became very bad and I actually woke up to take a hot shower as my chest and throat felt like they were on fire.
I attempted to sleep again after that but it wasn't all that restful.
In the morning I again took a really hot shower hoping it would help and then after getting ready headed out to DL at about 7:45am.
This was a Monday and normally Mondays are not Magic Morning days however because of the CHOC walk on Sunday this Monday was. Knowing this I had made an 8:20am reservation for the Minnie and Friends character breakfast.
When I arrived at the gates at Disneyland I asked how I got in with my AP during the MM hours. They said go to Gate 1. I arrive at Gate 1 and tell them I have a reservation at Minnie's. They look at the lst and then override my entrance into the park.
I'm in!
Since it was only about 8:05am I stopped to take a few more pics.
I really like this one...
I also decided to take some pictures of the store windows while I didn't have a mass of people in front if them!
And some pumpkins...
Finally I make it to the Plaza for my breakfast.
notice the wet surfaces in the background...
It wasn't long before characters started showing up!
It wasn't long before I started annoying all the people around me asking for them to take pictures!
Opps... forgot to take a picture of my food!
Sorry its partially eaten!
Maxed out my # of pictures so to be continued!!!
