TR w/4000+ Pics/Disney on Ice w/184 Pics!!

Day 9, Disneyland Day 5, Sunday, August 1st!

This was the day we were going to do our Magic Morning. I was going to enjoy every minute of this, since I have an AP, I don't get these, so I had to purchase a PH for $184 so I could enjoy this with my family. It really was worth it to me!! Besides I used the PH earlier in our trip so we could use it to get extra FP's.

We were up at 5am, showered, dressed & heading out by 6:15am. Shyann seemed to be feeling fine, so she went with us. Betty decided she was just too sore & tired & told us to go. She would meet us for breakfast later in the morning. Here we are on our way:

On our walk to the parks:

We got to the security gates about 6:20 & found we couldn't enter yet. So Tyler & I got some random pics from outside the security gates:

Here's a look into the empty esplanade:

Outside the gates again:

The California letters in rainbow colors to celebrate World of Color....will actually miss these when they're taken out this fall:

We wanted to get there early so we could do pics at the letters without extra people in them.

I agree, the Disney soda fountain would fit in perfectly with DTD! I have to make a trip there sometime!! and Bob's Big Boy??WOw did that bring back memories of growing up in Indiana..I used to eat there often..yummy!

The security guards were very friendly & kept us all entertained:

We were finally allowed in about 6:45am....so we headed straight to the letters as everyone else headed to the gates. Each family member was assigned a letter (10 letters, 10 people in our family). We had to do Betty's at a later time....but I included it here:

Next up will be Derek & Tyler each doing the set of letters.

The Walk of Fame is kinda dirty & it doesn't seem to fit....the only tie it has is with the El Capitan Theater.....so keep that one going & do one in DTD....that's what I'd like to see!!

I don't know what it is with their burgers.....I think the special sauce is just ketchup & relish but man oh man it is soooooo good when they make it!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

So Derek & Tyler each wanted to do a complete set of the letters. Here is Derek, also signing each letter. He just completed his first year of sign language in college & has a number of friends that are hearing impaired that he met thru doing this course.

Here's Tyler hamming it up!!

Here's a look at DCA from the esplanade & looking thru the gates:

We started back to get in line & I turned around to see that some of the construction cranes had gone up in the background of DCA (Cars Land.....I'm a guessing!):

Brick work in the esplanade:

I love Magic Mornings so I can go to the front gates & get these kind of pictures:

These were on the monorail pillars that go thru the esplanade:

Magic Morning!!

We were let in at 7am & we walked leisurely up Main Street getting some pics along the way:

Next up.......Fantasyland Rides!

 

[DizNee Luver]

These are as we made our way to Fantasyland thru the Castle:

Our first ride was Peter Pan:

Tyler, Derek & Anthony taking their turns with the sword in the stone:

A look around Fantasyland:

Next up: Dumbo!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Next ride was Dumbo. The twins had never been on this one, so I stayed on the ground to take some pictures of their first flight!!

These are when we were walking by the Storybookland Canal Boats.....which was closed during Magic Morning!! Was kinda bummed out, because this one would have been a good ride for the twins:

Next post.....lets take a spin!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Tyler decided to stay out this time & took pictures as the rest of us rode on the teacups!

Mr Toad is coming up next!

I love the letter pictures. Especially Mike's picture at the F.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Mr Toad's Wild Ride....it had been a while since I had rode this.....so figured during Magic Morning would be a good time to do so!

The start of Snow White's Scary Adventure:

The rest of Snow White coming up next.

 

[DizNee Luver]

I love the letter pictures. Especially Mike's picture at the F.

They were fun.....I would have loved to had everyone do a set of them....but since we couldn't get in too early....we had to go get in line for MM.

 

[DizNee Luver]

The rest of Snow White's Scary Adventure:

Taking a break & will be back with more Magic Morning!!

I haven't really been on for longer than about a minute....but did see your post on Vicki's trip report & did comment back to you. How is he doing? How very lucky he was that someone saw him!!! Give me an update on his condition!

This is my Saturday.


Scotty left to go on an afternoon bike ride he was riding his cross bike out at Lagoon Valley on the hills. He's done it before so I wasn't worried, he left a little around 4ish. Often he will say I am gonna be a couple of hours and I take that as a couple to three hours. Around 6:45 I get a phone call, from a strange number and I was almost inclined to not answer as I didn't know it but I figured I better. Boy am I glad I did. It was a strange male voice saying Scotty had crashed his bike and was a little scratched up and needed to be picked up. I was a bit puzzled why he didn't call me himself but then I thought maybe his cell wasn't getting reception, it happens. So after getting from him that Scotty must be on the frontage road but I didn't think to ask which one. SO I figured I would head east on I-80 and if he wasn't there I would go on the west bound frontage road for the trip back. I was driving down I-80 and I looked over at the old frontage road that ends and becomes the trail near Paradise Valley and saw him laying in the middle of the court there. At that point I knew it was serious. I took the next exit and backtracked because that is the only way to get in there. I get there and he is on the ground all bloody and holding a towel that they had given him on his cheek bone and there was blood all around his head and all over him. I had the girls with me so I stayed relatively calm but obviously not completely calm because I put the bike in the van first. Of course I know him and I know that is his priority. I should have called an ambulance but I didn't I got help from the gentleman getting him in the front seat of the van. And off down the road we go with him arguing that he doesn't need to go to Kaiser. He needs to go home and go to the bathroom. I told him Kaiser had a bathroom. So the comedy routine began. First I pulled over because he was violently ill and hanging out the window throwing up. At that point I called Kaiser to make sure that Vacaville had an open ER. And they tried to get me to talk to the advice nurse. No I don't need your advice, my husband is bleeding from over a dozen open wounds on his body and I know he has a concussion I have this thanks.

So off to Vacaville we go. Every 30-45 seconds he asked me what he was doing in the van, I would say you wrecked your bike and we are going to Kaiser, and he would say oh then I should go to the DR and it would all start again. Literally. Poor Kody almost laughed because it was like an Abbot and Costello routine. And he's hanging out the window vomiting, and blood is flying everywhere from the deep cut on his cheekbone. I am sure that the cars near us were thrilled. I don't know if you saw the pictures I put on facebook but he looked like a zombie and here he is spewing out the window. Oh yeah good times. I was starting to panic because of the looping conversation and how bad his short term memory was. I had the girls run into the ER and get help getting him in there while I sat there with the van running in the cross walk at the entrance. There was someone ahead of them and Kacy who is normally clearheaded was hysterical and Kody was calm as can be. Kacy was so bad that there were woman in the waiting room coming to see what they could do while the girls waited in line. Yes there are good people. Finally they got up there and the triage nurse rushed out with a wheel chair and took him and his helmet in. I had to park and I cleaned what little vomit I could out of the van. Thankfully most of it was outside. I went in and they had taken Kody back to answer questions and Kacy was left alone in the waiting room. I really wanted back there bad. Kody called to ask if there were drug allergies and her and I changed places, thankfully.

I get back there and they are trying to give him an EKG. Now I saying trying mind you to calm him down so they can do this. They finish that and take him up to do the ct scan and 25-30 xrays of his body and head. Fun stuff to be had by all. I was back in the waiting room for over an hour waiting again. That is when the mass texting began and I called his mom. Not that I wanted to call her mind you. It was a stilted conversation at best. Oh and the tearful call to the plant that was fun. Two of Scotty's friend came and sat with the girls in the waiting room and fed them. We were there at least 6 hours. After our car ride where he had no clue I figured they would keep him but they shot him full of morphine and nausea meds and sent him on his way home. We got out to the van and he was vomiting again. I was not happy with them. I felt that they should have kept him. He could not sit up yesterday and had a terrible time getting to the bathroom. The DR had me giving him electrolytes and the pain meds and seasickness pills. Thankfully today he is a lot better.

So that is my Saturday.

Holy Moly woman! How awful!! Your poor girls were probably freaked out to say the least. I am shocked that they didn't keep him....it used to be required for an over night stay with a concussion....especially when they're throwing up still. My god, so many things could have gone wrong that night. Its a darn good thing....none of them happened...otherwise they would have had a hefty lawsuit for malpractice. That's just crazy to send someone out, when they're confused, having mental lapses, sick, etc. YIKES!!

I'm glad he's doing better & thank God for all the angels looking out for you all!! I'm sure Scotty has asked or looked......but is the bike salvageable?? I'm sure that would be a concern for him. (silly boys......lol)

Keep me updated & I'll keep you both in my prayers!!

PS: Yes I did look at the pics.....ewwwwww!

*+*+*+*Happy Anniversary too!!*+*+*+*

Thank you. Yeah it was something. The poor girls had quite a night themselves. While they were in the waiting room a bunch of thugly looking guys brought their friend in that had been stabbed. Thankfully they weren't alone. It was definitely an experience none of us care to repeat for sure. Other than being a bloody mess I think the bike survived it. I am taking pictures of it tomorrow and of the broken helmet. I figure my anniversary present is having Scotty alive.
