A trip to Disneyland 11-1-06 (sorry my TR is so late...)
The idea for this trip came about almost 2 years ago..
The Cast:
ME 24 year old Disney fanatic. Been to WDW, but never DL
DBF Jon Groomsman 25 year old who puts up with my love of Disney because he secretly loves it too!
Brian Groomsman 25 year old who has been to Disney once or twice in his life. He is DBF's roomate. (they share a room... it's a litte close )
Lou: Groomsman 24 year old who doesn't get too excited about anything. These guys are all friends from elementary school.
Jess Brian's girlfriend 23 year old.
Steve The Groom
Kristine: The Bride
The backstory: Steve and Kristine met in college. Kristine is from southern Cali and Steve is from NJ. They fell in love and got engaged. Kristine decided that she would move to NJ and they would have their wedding in Cali. I decided that I would not be attending the wedding unless we could go to Disneyland because I had never seen it. So we decide that we would spend two days with the mouse before the wedding stuff began.
Our flight arrived in LA at about 10am. They showed the movie Cars on the plane and Brian and Lou absolutely loved it! We picked up our cars, called Steve and Kristine (they flew in a few days earlier to deal with some wedding stuff) and went to our hotel. By the time we got to the hotel Steve and Kristine were there already waiting for us. It was too early to check in so we prechecked and prepared to walk over. I had arranged for all of us to have matching T-shirts for the first day of the trip. I passed out the shirts and everyone put them on (YAY ) I was so happy. Steve and Kristine had special shirts with Mickey and Minnie and their wedding day, the rest of us had the logo shirts that are on sale at disney shopping website. With all of our shirts on we made the walk to the main entrance.
I literally couldn't wait!!!
So we started out. It was so magical and exciting for me. This was the place that everything started. It's like Mecca. It was like the mother ship had called me home . We started out by going into guest relations to get pins for Steve and Kristine. Then we went over and got them Bride and Groom ears. We took pictures in front of the partners statue and then took a whole group picture in front of the castle.
I was so excited to finally see the castle. That's where Sleeping Beauty lives!!! IT'S HER HOUSE!!!! I loved the pictures on the side of the castle from the movie. How cool! I loved the Sleeping Beauty/Pince Philip water fountain.
I loved it all.
We made our way over to Pirates and DBF were really excited to ride this and compare it to the one in Florida. We had downloaded the podcast and were super excited. We rode pirates and then it got really exciting!!!!
What happened next?? Stay tuned!
