Off to the parks we went along with 65,000 other magic seeking guests. Whew! I think working with the crowds was more exhausting then trying to make it the whole day. Our first day felt like the longest day of our lives. All starting with Mark jumping on the bed at an early hour questioning "why are we all still in bed, let's go!".
Needless to say, we were quite content riding the "easy" rides despite having a pregnant lady with us. *side note: not me*. The Mark Twain ferry boat has no line. That is right up our ally. I was lucky enough to hang out with Stephanie most of the day - which made the day turn more into a man-date, girls-day-out so it worked out well.
We made a point to wait in the 45 minute line to visit with Rapunzel; the newest addition to the Disney peeps. The entire line Stephanie indulged me in the true life behind the princesses which of course I was fascinated with. Sadly, the moment we left, the gentleman of the movie whose name I couldn't tell you if my life depended on it showed up and of course I was mad because I HAD to have my picture with "what's his name". Vital. Did we wait in line? No-we headed over to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride instead. Again, short line and Stephanie can ride. Double Bonus.
A few things we laughed at this time around were:
-"I don't like cotton candy. whew - glad that is out there"
-Brandon's amazing food consumption at Ruby's. Sidenote, that place was Delish!
-Indrillgestion
-Toy Story Mania and the new level. (what?)
-Pregnant wife = he-date, she-date
For a bunch of people who love the Disney, I think it was a very successful trip. Sadly, our trips to the parks are numbered as our connections dwindle. We still hold our hopes out that Cam will never leave and we'll get in on his dime next time around. A BIG shout out to our dear friends who thought of us to invite. We sure loved spending time with you. And Disney of course, we loved you too.
Sadly my picture taking efforts were less then par. I have so many pictures from Disneyland; how many times can you get a picture in front of the castle, or with the mouse, or standing in line before it is just all the same photo? Exactly.
Hoping to return in February.

Glad you posted pics from the trip. Bummed you dropped out of the 30 Day Challenge. Good luck staying "good" with your Mom in the house preparing Thanksgiving feast.
Love & miss you!
no heidi visit? :(
what a wonderful weekend. I miss that place. We hope to head back there some time in the next year or so. But who knows where life will take us!!!
What?! You have other friends you share Disney and vacations with? Please tell me this isn't true. Or at least that I was way more fun! Oh how I miss you and I am sorry that I don't update my blog. I am still anxiously awaiting the underwater pictures, however I don't have any pictures from April so I can't complain. MIss your guts! I will be joining you in February.
I love the post! And I do have to say I loved our "girls-day-out" dates. I am sorry if I was a downer and did not let the days be filled to the fullest with "no-expectant mothers" rides. Next time there will be no baby on board and I will be up for ALL rides. You guys are the best. I miss you tons already.
