Disneyland and Alaska
Went to Disneyland yesterday with gingersnapps and a great time was had by all. Little traffic on the 5 getting down there, for a change, and the Magic Kingdom itself was very uncrowded, especially considering it's summer. Didn't get there tilll about 2:30 but we got on the Matterhorn (still bumpy, and fun, and the monster totally scared me because I had my sunglasses on and couldn't see it till it roared), Thunder Mountain, Pirates (the pirate no longer shoots the flowerpot in the well-dunking scene! Aaaaargh! When did they change that?? I put it in my freaking story, for heavens sake!), the Tarzan Tree House (not as good as the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House), Indiana Jones (I got to drive--whoohoo!), Haunted Mansion, the Monorail (at night: pretty lights), and Winnie the Pooh (yay, heffalumps and woozles). Also had perfect seats for the new fireworks show and Fantasmic (which is still the BEST!!), ate at the Blue Bayou (excellent repast, great service), had bacon-wrapped asparagus and the new whitefish skewer from Bengal BBQ while waiting for Fantasmic, and bought a beautiful Peter Pan mug (I have loved Peter all my life). Sacked out at gingersnapps cute apartment, met her talkative cat, Daisy, slept like a log and got up to go have breakfast at Knott's (mmmmm...biscuits and cherry rhubarb!) before driving home (again, little traffic).
Now have one day left to pack for Alaskan cruise. ::Yay Cruising!!:: cacophony is going to housesit and came over today to get detailed instructions.
Happy 4th of July, everybody! This'll be my last post till the 12th or so.
