Day Nine!
I think this will be the most protracted retelling of a single Disney day in the history of the DIS Boards! Although I am an editor by trade, I am completely unable to whittle down the number of amazing
Disneyland photos the Roots took that day (and here Im talking about the scenery, not the shots of us!), so I will just have to make multiple posts over the next few days so you can see them all!
How we came to meet up with our Orlando-based wedding photographers in Disneyland just days after seeing them at Walt Disney World was a happy twist of fate. Our double date at WDW had been on the books since they got sick and we missed them during our honeymoon. But then they decided to take their belated honeymoon to Disneyland, and the dates just happened to coincide with our 2 Parks, 1 Day trip to both parks!
We decided to meet for lunch at Disneyland that Sunday. However, about two weeks before the trip, it finally dawned on me that we would be at my all-time favorite
place with my all-time favorite
photographers and wed be crazy not to do a photo shoot! The idea of getting pictures of me and DH in my favorite corner of the park (and the place where he proposed) New Orleans Square had me giddy. The Roots very graciously agreed to give up part of their honeymoon (and some sleep!) to meet us at Disneyland at 7am, when it opened for Magic Mornings (our pale imitation of Extra Magic Hours you can only go once during your stay).
So thats how I came to wake up at 4:30am after falling into bed at 1:30am. Because any time I know the Roots will be around and holding cameras, my vanity requires me to hire a little professional help in the looks department!
The Roots almost didnt make it past security with their pro equipment due to some paparazzi-related paranoia surrounding Miley Cirus upcoming birthday party at Disneyland...
September 28th and the Halloween decorations were up...
Im stealing Jenseys caption for this photo:
This is Disneyland's City Hall. Where you can't buy tickets, complain, or make a reservation. I'm not sure what you can do here, actually; I think it's just a big, fancy building to get your birthday button!
Its true!!!
First ones in the park? Gotta start with the Hub.
Necking in front of the Tea Cups (because its physically impossible to neck while
on the Tea Cups!).
More glorious submarine shots later... We stopped at DHs fave place in Tomorrowland, the retro-futuristic stage at Tomorrowland Terrace that rises from the ground for Jedi Training Academy and cheesy cover bands on the weekend.
We paused to prepare for The Future...
...And welcome it with open arms!
Another of DHs favorite places is, well, anywhere people like to toss coins....
He likes to fantasize about collecting all of it for our Disney Jar...
This little guy hides equipment for the fireworks show!
More to come...
And I hope you had a fun holiday too!
Oh my gosh! Well thank you for your kind words, and Happy New Year to you!
You should come see it! It has a whole different feel than Walt Disney World. And, if I can't convince you, 
I just hope I can finish this report before we start that one....
Also, seriously, if you're ever out here and want the laid-back, "see it all and still feel relaxed" tour of Disneyland, just let me know! 
Prepare to be hip-deep in pictures... 
It's called Destination Weddings & Honeymoons, and you can find it at the supermarket or at Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc.
