It’s Disney day!!! Part: 1
Friday morning we let ourselves sleep in because our next 2 morning’s were going to be EARLY! You’ll find out just how early soon! We both woke up around 8:45 and proceeded to get ready for the day. Our destination was Disneyland!! While getting ready I got a text from Mary, she would be arriving later today but for now she was at work
So I sent her back a picture of where I was!
Walking through Downtown Disney on our way to Disneyland, we had to make the requisite energy stop.
Along with some caffeine, we needed a little something to get us by until lunch. We chose a blueberry muffin to share. I’m not much into Starbucks, but this one had some pretty cool features. I wish I’d thought to get a picture, but they had a tv that you could see different areas of the store, and even one in Orlando! It was kinda cool, but also a bit creepy at the same time….
Next stop: tickets!!!. Luckily for us, the lines weren’t very long. I ended up with a very helpful cast member who took the time to break down the entire ticket cost. He even wrote it down on a piece of paper. Part of me wanted to stop him and say ‘just give me my ticket’, but he was being so nice and thorough I just couldn’t! I guess they’re used to people not knowing exactly what they want.
Finally I had this baby in my hands
The whole time walking up and through the turnstiles we were joking “What is this?! Why are they making us go through these old-fashioned turnstyles?? It’s not just open, I can’t just put my band up and finger on the pad and walk through?!”. Although Magic Bands have their downsides, they certainly have some upside as well. I find the lack of turnstiles in to be incredibly nice. We finally made it through the gates….We’re in Disneyland!
We were very excited to be here. The castle is so pretty! I was going to take a picture at the beginning of Main Street USA but I had to get closer. I always forget how much smaller Sleeping Beauty Castle is compared to Cinderella’s. They have it subtly decorated for the upcoming 60th Anniversary celebrations, and I think it looks great! As you can tell in the picture it wasn't the prettiest day to be there, not quite what I was hoping for but I was in Disneyland....what did I have to complain about?!
Before any rides, we had to stop and say hi to the man who started it all of course! While we were there we found a few of our favorites to say hi to as well.
