Disneyland

My last trip to Disneyland for the foreseeable future was a lot of fun. I got to be there for my best friends little one's 1st trip, though she will remember none of it as she is only 4.5 months old! Autumn and I got to hang out for a bit just us on Sunday night . . . front row for Fantasmic! and then Haunted Mansion and I actually rode Splash Mountain with her. It's one of Autumn's favorite rides, but I don't like walking around the park wet, and since we were going to be leaving soon, I was the one who suggested it :0)

Monday we were joined by Loreen & Jason which just added to the fun. We didn't make "rope drop" but I was in the park until just before it closed. I sat at the Main Street Train Station, on the benches that look out onto Main Street, and just took in the nighttime atmosphere. I love Disneyland at night!

Tuesday morning my goal was to make it for rope drop, I missed that but got there shortly after. I left Autumn and family still sleeping, got my stuff packed, AND put the air mattress away without waking them :) My goal for Tuesday morning was to get a cup of coffee from the Market and sit on the porch. I achieved that goal. I actually was able to hit all my main goals of the trip: 1. Fantasmic! 2. World of Color 3. Soundsational Parade 4. ride stuff that Walt Disney World doesn't have . . . this one I didn't quite complete, as Matterhorn was closed and I missed riding Alice, but I did make sure that I "went to hell" one more time!!!

Overall it was a great trip. Found myself getting teary eyed as I was thinking about not knowing when I'll be back. Mostly because of the amazing memories I've created there. Fun times with family and friends and friends that are like family. But now I'll get to know Walt Disney World. I'll find those perfect spots to hang out when it's crazy crowded, the shady places that get a nice breeze to help cool you off. I'll have new places to look up and down and find different ways to see things to capture new photos. But that didn't make leaving Disneyland any easier LOL

Here are a few photos: Loreen with Audrey, Audrey and the Fairy Godmother, and Audrey on King Triton's Carousel...she really wasn't sure about that !!!
