So, the kids had a day off of school this past Friday, which we thought would be a great day to take them to Disneyland since the other schools around here were not off that day. We were at the park from about 8:30am till 10:00pm. We hadn't been there for over two years, and figured the kids are at a great age to take them. Well, Pirates was too dark and scary, we didn't even attempt the Haunted Mansion. The Matterhorn, according to Brynn and Nick, was a definite NO!, the abomidamable snowman in there is too freaky. Star Tours and Space Mountain- too dark in there! NO WAY! We did go on Thunder Mountain, which Nick liked, Brynn, not so much. Tom Sawyer's Island was pretty cool, other than the "spooky" noises in the dark caves. By late afternoon, the park was jammed packed with all the people who have yearly passes, I think they all showed up that day to see the Fall decorations. After the fireworks show, of which we viewed behind a LARGE tree, we were herded down main street to the exit. People were actually mooing. WOW! That was a LOT of fun for the smoking deal of 260 dollars for admission. (Not counting the $43 dinner of hamburgers, fries, and drinks, $12 parking, and $20 for lockers) We didn't even realize that Nick's souvenier bouncy ball made noise when you bounce it till we got in the car, it was so loud at the park. During the parade, the announcer announced that we were at the HAPPIEST place on earth, and Lauren whispered "BULL****" in my ear. Okay, so we did have a lot of fun too, there were many rides that the kids actually liked and the decorations were amazing. I guess you'd say it was a memorable trip!!

Okay, so Disneyland may not actually be the happiest place on earth but at $260 a pop, you had better do your best to fake it. Remember the old AA adage "fake it 'til you make it!"
