~*~ Christmas in California ~*~

Part III






Time for some Christmas decoration pics!





These adorable decorations were near the It's a Small World attraction.

Here are a few from Mickey's Toontown.

This is Minnie Mouse's house and tree in Toontown.

This is the Christmas tree outside of Mickey's house. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a good picture of the house itself. I tried to look for a good substitute picture on the internet, but I couldn't find a good one.

Many of the lamp posts in Toontown were decorated with Mickey wreaths. I want one for my house!!

Here are some of the decorations that I saw in New Orleans Square.

Before we went back to our hotel for a short afternoon rest, I got a picture of the last "A" in "California" from the California Adventure sign. The sun was not being very kind, so the picture didn't come out too well.

Next up: The new Finding Nemo submarine attraction, the Disneyland Christmas parade, and the conclusion of our Disneyland adventure.​

Happy New Year Unicorns! I hope everyone is having a good time.

I got my Christmas wish...

I get my surgery date next week!!!!!!!!! I'll be heading to Houston in February/March to have my tumor evicted from my brain.

I love my surgeon. We're both mega-hockey fans. Which is why I think he's taking pity on me, but I digress... I can't wait to get down there and have it done.

Then, in 2010, I'm going to be set to rock the Unicorn Club Party at Disney!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[julezdisney]

Again, AWESOME trip report update, Tig- I'm SOOO loving it! I love Toontown and the Christmas decorations are like icing on the cake!

And I'm happy you're happy, Honu!

Thanks Julez and Minnie! I'll keep you all updated on how it's going. Now is the time that I have to get busy getting stuff ready. I'm excited. Can't wait to see Houston. I'm going to get to go to the Space Center too!!!!!!!!

 

[honugirl]

Yoohoo! Tig! I'm here! I'm hanging out at my parents house for a couple of weeks. Then I'll head back home, then back down to their house and we'll be off to Houston.

How were the holidays?

I got a Wii and a Wii Fit. I'm addicted... it's really fun!

Yoohoo! Tig! I'm here! I'm hanging out at my parents house for a couple of weeks. Then I'll head back home, then back down to their house and we'll be off to Houston.

How were the holidays?

I got a Wii and a Wii Fit. I'm addicted... it's really fun!

Hey, babe! What's shaking? I hope that you had a great Christmas and New Year. Are you having fun up there in Vancouver?


My family and I came back from our trip on the 27th. We had a great time, but we were all really tired when we came back. Usually we go to a friend's house to celebrate New Year's, but we decided to just relax and have a quiet New Year's celebration at home. What did you do for Christmas and New Year's?


Congrats on getting a Wii and the Wii Fit! I'm glad you're enjoying them!

 

[honugirl]

Thanks! There's a computer with internet access at MD Anderson so I'll try to jump on here once a day or so while I'm there. I'll also post the address on their website where you can send messages to patients closer to surgery time too.

He's got mad skillz too, so I should be in and out and in recovery in no time at all.

I wish I could get something Disney for my medical alert bracelet I'm going to have to wear after surgery. I'm going to have to look.

Love, love, love the Disney pics Tig.

My parents are headed there this month in a couple of weeks, they're going on a golf trip to San Diego and heading back up to Anaheim to do 3 days at Disney. They're breaking my heart!

But, I guess beggars can't be choosers... We are going to fly to San Antonio first before surgery and see the Alamo and the River Walk, and I'll get to see the Johnson Space Center in Houston, so I guess I do get a mini-vacation.

My big booty is shaking!

I'm having a good time up here. I'm playing with the doggies.

I'll bet you guys were wiped. What was the best part? Did you get to hang with family a lot?

I spent Christmas Eve at my cousins house, Christmas was at my parents house and New Year's we've just been at home. I've been fighting with a cold, so I've been trying to lay low.

OMG, the Wii Fit is so much fun! Who knew you could have fun with exercise?

 

[tiggerfan1]

My responses are in blue.

That's awesome! I'll send you virtual flowers and hot men pics!

That's great that you've got such a great doctor. I'm sure that everything will go smoothly and you'll soon be on the road to recovery.



I wish I could get something Disney for my medical alert bracelet I'm going to have to wear after surgery. I'm going to have to look.

Maybe you can put some cute little Disney stickers on it.


Love, love, love the Disney pics Tig.

Wow, you're parents do a lot of traveling! Lucky them! Too bad you can't go with them. That's great that you'll get to go to San Antonio and Houston soon. The River Walk in San Antonio is really nice. Be sure to take the boat tour!

Yeah, we're pretty tired, but we're glad that we were able to go. It was so nice to be back in California again. We got to see many of our old friends, especially when we were in San Francisco. I think that the best part of our trip was Disneyland, though. I love my Disneyland!

Sounds like you had a great Christmas and New Year's. Sorry to hear about your cold. I hope you feel better soon.

Glad you're enjoying the Wii! I've heard so many great things about the Wii Fit. Maybe I'll get one some day.

~*~ Christmas in California ~*~

Part IV





In the last installment, we had gotten pictures of the Christmas decorations and had gone back to our hotel for a short rest. It was so nice to get away from the crowds for a while. Before we went back to the park, we brought along our heavier jackets, gloves and beanies. Believe it or not, it got surprisingly cold in Anaheim and LA. While we were there, it got down to the high 30s/low 40s at night. I don't remember it ever getting that cold. Anyway, when we got back to the park, we went straight to the Finding Nemo submarine attraction. It's Disneyland's newest ride and we were really excited to see what it was like. This attraction replaced the old 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea submarine ride, which closed down many years ago. I think that giving this attraction a "Finding Nemo" makeover was a wonderful idea. Here are a couple of pictures that I took while I was in line:

You're not allowed to take pictures during the submarine ride, so here's a "borrowed" picture that shows part of what you can see through the porthole.






We all really enjoyed this ride. It's really cool because you can see a mix of real images and animation as you look through the porthole. One of my favorite parts was when we were going through the EAC (the East Australian current, for those of you who haven't seen Finding Nemo). All I can say is, "RIGHTEOUS....RIGHTEOUS!!!!!" It was totally awesome, dude!! I also really loved the scene when Nemo, his schoolmates and their teacher, Mr. Ray, were exploring the coral reef. It was so pretty and colorful!! The Finding Nemo ride is definitely on my list of favorite attractions.



When we got out from that ride, we went in search of some Disney characters. I have yet to meet Tigger and I had heard that you can meet him by the Winnie the Pooh attraction. When we got there, I saw that many people were in line to take pictures with the characters. We rushed over and stood in the line. I cranned my neck looking for Tigger. I saw Pooh and Eeyore................BUT NO TIGGER!!!!!! I was really disappointed. Didn't Tigger get the message that I was coming to see him? I guess not. Oh, well. Hopefully, I'll get to see him on the next trip.



After that, we realized that we should start looking for a spot to watch the Christmas parade. Before we went to find our viewing spot, we got some churros and a bucket of popcorn. (As you can see, we weren't exactly being health-conscious on this trip. We're getting our healthy groove back now that the new year is here. ) As we headed toward Main Street, we saw that the Christmas lights on the castle were on. It was so beautiful!! I took several pictures of it, but sadly, many of them came out really blurry. I'm still learning how to take good pictures at night. Here's the best picture of the bunch.

There were already a lot of people who were waiting for the parade to start. Amazingly, we were able to find a bench that had a pretty good view of the parade. I tried taking some practice pictures while I waited, but they all turned out really blurry. I really need to get a Photography for Dummies book or something. Since my camera can also take several minutes worth of video, I decided to film the parade instead. I haven't learned how to upload a video on Youtube yet, so I decided to post a parade video from Youtube. This person's vantage point was a lot better than ours anyway. Here are the videos if you're interested in seeing the parade.



Disneyland's A Christmas Fantasy parade


Part 1


Part 2


Part 3


Part 4



We all really enjoyed the parade. I loved seeing Mickey and Minnie "ice skating" on the parade float! After the parade, we went over to It's a Small World because I wanted to get a picture of the lights. It took forever to get over there because there were so many people heading in the same direction. When we finally got there, we oohed and aahed over the gorgeous Christmas lights. When I got my camera out to take a picture, I noticed that it wasn't turning on. Sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln!!! The battery had gone and died on me!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I was so mad!! I really wanted to get a picture of those lights. *sigh* Oh, well. Maybe next time. Since I couldn't get a picture of them, I found a picture of it on the web. (I've been "borrowing" an awful lot of pictures, haven't I? )






As we waded through the sea of people on our way back to Main Street, we decided to do some shopping. I was still really bummed about not being able to take any more pictures. When we got to Main Street, we noticed that the castle lights had returned to normal. Then we heard an announcement saying that they were going to dim the lights for the castle lighting. "Great!" I said. "We'll get to see the second castle lighting show." We stood there in the middle of Main Street and watched. The lights dimmed and, through the loud speakers, we heard a woman and a child talking about snow. The woman and the child kept talking and we wondered if anything was actually going to happen. We started to walk slowly toward the shops while looking over our shoulders to see what would happen. Then some music started playing and the castle slowly started to change from its normal lights to its Christmas lights. And then................IT STARTED TO SNOW!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that's right. Obviously, it wasn't real snow, but who cares? It was still such a magical experience. I literally stood motionless for several seconds with my jaw dropped.


I probably looked like this ---------->



It was such a beautiful moment that I actually got misty-eyed. After we got over our surprise we started laughing and trying to catch the "snowflakes". Since we were right near the source of the snow, we had snow all over ourselves. One of the members of my family pointed out that my long hair was completely covered with snow. It must have been a sight to behold! I wish that I could have recorded or photographed our snowy, magical moment. Oh, well. In any case, this completely cheered me up. Gotta love that Disney magic!! I found a great video on Youtube so that you can see what happened. I almost started crying while I was watching it. I'm such a sap!!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sga87TCjCI&feature=related




After that lovely experience, we brushed the snow off of ourselves and hit the shops. I was on the hunt for some new Tigger stuff. I noticed that there wasn't a whole lot of Tigger things in the stores. I think I may need to write a letter of complaint. One of the members of my family (who is also a Tigger fan) got a Tigger jacket. I would have loved to have gotten that jacket, but even the smallest size was way too big for me. Fortunately, I found some cute Tigger pins. I'll post the pictures tomorrow. After our shopping expedition, we decided to call it a night. We said farewell to Mickey and the castle and headed back to the hotel. Thanks for the memories, Disneyland. We'll be back again soon.





Next up: Pictures of our Tigger souvenirs and a San Francisco treat!​

Happy Friday, Unicorns!


Where is everyone? Well, I hope that you're all enjoying the new year so far. I know that I said that I'd finish the TR today, but I don't think I'll have time for that tonight. I've got to get to sleep early tonight. I'll definitely finish it tomorrow. Talk to you all later!

 

[Rora]

I get my surgery date next week!!!!!!!!! I'll be heading to Houston in February/March to have my tumor evicted from my brain.

Then, in 2010, I'm going to be set to rock the Unicorn Club Party at Disney!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!! I'm so happy for you.. that truly is a Christmas blessing!

Thanks! There's a computer with internet access at MD Anderson so I'll try to jump on here once a day or so while I'm there. I'll also post the address on their website where you can send messages to patients closer to surgery time too.

Expect lots of messages from us!!

OMG, the Wii Fit is so much fun! Who knew you could have fun with exercise?

Okay. That's it. Everyone has a Wii but meeee. I want one. I'll just have to take some money out of the wedding fund!!

Happy Friday, Unicorns!

Let's go! It's so magical it snowed at DL.. I'm a sap too. I cry at everything when I'm in Disney. "Look! A dole whip! I just love dole whips!" and the crying begins. Either I'm a sap or just crazy .

Happy 2009 Ladies!!

Happy New Year Unicorns!

I was busy for the past few days. NYE was spent with my family, playing Rock Band (I did a mean Beastie Boys impersonation) and NYD was spent with DBF's family, pigging out. Healthier eating habits can now resume. Yesterday, I was off from work and spent the day running errands. I also watched Beauty and the Beast which I haven't seen in YEARS. I forgot how much I liked that movie! But am I the only one who thought the prince looked better as a Beast? It's kind of a let down when he turns human!

Tigger - I love all the pictures, even though some were "borrowed." I wish I could get on youtube but work has it blocked and my computer at home is too slow to get along with it! I wish they'd get rid of the Indy stunt show at DHS and put in the actual ride. That would be a nice update! But no Crystal Skull stuff, please and thank you.

I can't believe the holidays are over! It went by so fast! Now I have the DBF's birthday coming up in a couple weeks. I made a reservation at Medieval Times and I can't wait for that. He's never been there so I know it'll be a nice surprise. He also LOVES Wall-E so I was going to get him one of those customizable shirts with a picture of Wall-E on it but put his name on the back. His name is Joe so I was thinking of spelling it like 'JO-E' We're such kids!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Happy New Year Unicorns! I hope everyone is having a good time.

I got my Christmas wish...

I get my surgery date next week!!!!!!!!! I'll be heading to Houston in February/March to have my tumor evicted from my brain.

I love my surgeon. We're both mega-hockey fans. Which is why I think he's taking pity on me, but I digress... I can't wait to get down there and have it done.

Then, in 2010, I'm going to be set to rock the Unicorn Club Party at Disney!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best of luck to you! MDAnderson is an AMAZING but HUGE place! I don't live in Houston but I've been to MDA for training...I'm an Oncology Nurse. I think I would get lost if I had to work there! Haha! Take elevator A, B, C, GG...no way I could remember all of that! Haha! Or elevators consisit of "The one by the Cafeteria" or "The one in the front!"!! I wish you ALL the best!!!!

 

[tiggerfan1]

Happy Saturday, Unicorns! I hope you're all having a great weekend so far.

You are a pro-TR writer!! I love love love all the decoration pictures!! So pretty.

Either I'm a sap or just crazy .

You're in good company, Rora. Other people may think that we're crazy, but we're really just a couple of Disney-loving saps! Hugs to you!


Thanks for your kind words about my TR. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Tigger had better have a good excuse for not being there. I paid good money to see him! It would be awesome if we could all go to DL together! In any case, I hope you get to go there someday soon.

I'm glad you had a good NYE and NYD, Jenny! That's cool that you got to watch B and the B. I haven't seen that movie in a while. Personally, I wasn't disappointed when the beast changed into a human. I thought he was pretty hot (for an animated character)!

Glad you're enjoying the TR pics. Too bad you can't see the youtube stuff. Well, hopefully you'll get to go to Disneyland at Christmastime so that you can see those things for yourself. I've got my fingers crossed for you! I totally agree with you about the Indy show. I thought that it was just OK. It would be awesome if they could replace the show with the ride.

I hope you and your DBF have a great time at Medieval Times! I've never been there, but it looks really cool. The Wall-E shirt is such a cute idea. I'm sure he'll love it!



kmab00- Hi! Long time no see. I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year!



By the way, has anyone seen Paintnolish? I haven't seen her in a while. Paint, we miss you!

~*~ Christmas in California ~*~

Part V







Time for some Tigger souvenir pics!





Here's the front and back of the Tigger jacket.

Here are my Tigger pins. Aren't they cute?

All right, now let's move on to the San Francisco portion of our trip. I must warn you in advance that most of my pictures will be borrowed. Most of the pictures that I took while we were in SanFran were of our family and friends. I would prefer not to post those on the internet. It's just a personal preference. Anyway..........


Hi ho, hi ho, it's on the road we go! Bye bye, LA. Hello, SanFran! Hi ho, hi ho!



I thought it would be nice to have some background music for this portion. Here's a famous 60s song called, San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair). Ironically, we heard this song on the radio as we were leaving San Francisco. Please click on the link below. (Sorry, Jenny, I know you can't hear this song. If you know this song, just sing it to yourself while you read this. If you don't know this song, just sing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" instead. )


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvO1P-kk0o8&feature=related




After a big breakfast, we left Anaheim on Sunday morning and headed to San Francisco. We went up the long, boring 5 freeway, which is the quickest route to SanFran. The 101 freeway is a much more scenic route, but it takes a lot longer. We had heard that it had snowed in certain parts of Southern/Central California. We found that hard to believe. Boy, were we wrong! When we had been on the road for a couple of hours, we saw snow on the surrounding hills and on the sides of the road. Someone had even made a snowman! I got several shots of the snow from the car. (Fortunately, my has a feature where you can take pictures while they're moving.) Here are a couple of them.

Geez, "snow" at Disneyland and real snow on the 5 freeway! Forget global warming! I think the real problem is global cooling! (Please don't send me nasty comments or PMs defending global warming. Thanks.)



As we were driving along, I happened to see something that only we Unicorns would get excited about. In the lane next to us, I saw a PURPLE car. Not eggplant or deep violet, but bright, in-your-face purple!! It was a cute little car with a license plate frame that said, "The Purple Princess". When I took a peek at the driver, I saw that it was a lady who was probably in her 60s. And guess what? She was wearing purple! I don't know who that lady was, but she is definitely my hero. I want to be like her when I'm in my 60s. She must have been "the little old lady from Pasadena"! Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!! I wanted to take a picture of the car, but she soon got too far ahead of us. I would have felt a little funny taking a picture of someone else's car anyway. That was really cool, though!



The gas was at the halfway point and we were all getting hungry, so we decided to stop to fill the tank and our stomachs. We got really excited when we saw a rest stop that had gas stations and an............. IN-N-OUT!!!
For those of you who are unfamiliar this this place, In-n-Out is a famous California burger place. In my opinion, they have the BEST hamburgers, cheeseburgers and fries. All the burgers are cooked to order and the fries are made from freshly-cut potatoes. The taste is out of this world. I always get the #2 (cheeseburger, fries and a drink) with no onions. One bite and, "Heaven.........I'm in heaven.........and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.........and I seem to find the happiness I seek......." After I finished eating, I realized that I had completely forgotten to take a picture of my food. I must share my love of In-n-Out, so here are a couple of borrowed pictures.

Is anyone else drooling on their keyboard besides me? You all need to get your butts to California just so you can try this burger. Seriously.





A few hours later, we finally arrived in San Francisco.

One of our long-time friends invited us to stay at his house. We are very close to his family (he's got a HUGE family), too. We had dinner and talked for a while. We were all really tired from our drive, so we really just wanted to relax. However, we didn't really get a chance to. Our friend told us that his family was really excited to see us again and they were all coming over within the hour. I wish that he had told us that before we came, but.....oh, well. We really didn't feel up to it at first, but once they all came over, we forgot all about being tired. They are such a fun family and it was so nice to see them all again.



During our stay in San Francisco, we mostly visited friends and family. Consequently, we didn't really get a chance to do any sightseeing. I apologize for the lack of San Francisco scenery pics. In order to spare you all the details of our visits with friends, here's a Cliffs Notes version of what happened while we were in SanFran:


-On our first full day in SanFran, we relaxed and spent time with our host.

-The next day, we saw some of our old friends and went to dinner. Earlier in the day, we went the famous Mitchell's ice cream shop. They are known for having exotic flavors like mango and lychee. I can't eat ice cream in cold weather, so I didn't try it. The rest of my family loved it, though! I definitely want to try it the next time we're in town (if it's not too cold).

-The next day we saw my dear, sweet Nana. We spent most of the day with her. Her sister made a huge pot of her famous gumbo for us. (They're originally from Louisiana). It was sooooooo good!


-On Christmas day, we spent the entire day with our host and his family. They always have a big family get-together on Christmas (as well as every other holiday) and, of course, we were invited to attend the party. There was so much food!!! It was all really delicious. We were entertained by the musically-talented people in their family, exchanged gifts, and ate to our hearts' content. In short, we had a grand, old time!


-The next day, we packed up our things, said goodbye to our host and San Francisco, and drove back down to Los Angeles. We had to catch a 5 am flight the next day, so we decided to stay in a hotel near the airport overnight. I couldn't believe that it was already time to leave. Our trip went by so quickly! Even though we were sad to leave, we were looking forward to recuperating at home after our whirlwind trip. I was so tired when I got home that I promptly changed into my pajamas and went straight to sleep.



Thanks for the memories, California! We'll be back again soon.





~*~ The End ~*~​

 

[Rora]

Tigger, what a wonderful TR!!!

Your pics turned out great and I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas!!

Mmm.. gumbo from Louisiana, sounds goood!

and OMG, YAY for the Purple Granny !! She is clearly a Unicorn. Shoulda taken a picture!!

Happy Sunday Ladies!!

PS. Yes, where is Paint? Come back Paint!

 

[kmab00]

Mmmmhmmm so you got to eat the REAL gumbo! And probably from scratch too, huh? Sounds delicious!

I couldn't believe when I got to DL in New Orleans square and I saw that they put their gumbo over RED rice?! That's not how we eat gumbo at all! I definitely didn't get any of that! Haha! I did order Beignets though and they were fabulous! So they don't really screw up ALL of their cajun food there...just that gumbo...I couldn't get over that!

Great report! I'm glad y'all had fun!
