    I am a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics...A Disneyland Half Marathon Trip Report!

    When we met back with DH, Samuel had eaten almost all of his food! Apparently he did not like being left behind. Brutal, but effective. We all went on yet another ride of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I can't get enough of this ride! Then we headed toward Fantasyland. We rode Pinnochio but...

    I am a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics...A Disneyland Half Marathon Trip Report!

    Samuel was being very picky and wouldn't touch his food, so DH stayed behind with him while the other three of us went on Mark Twain Riverboat. It was pushing 12:30 and getting hot out so we explored the upper deck and then found a comfortable, shaded and breezy spot on the second...

    The Jungle Cruise was a hoot as usual! After that we headed toward the Tiki Room. We stopped to check out the meet n greet where the characters from Aladdin hang out: There wasn't anyone in there at this point, so we proceeded to the Enchanted Tiki Room. We got some Dole Whips for...

    I am a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics...A Disneyland Half Marathon Trip Report!

    I know people have varied opinions regarding the Swiss Family Treehouse vs Tarzan's Treehouse. In the past I hated that they changed a classic, but at this point it's kind of cool that you have a different experience on each coast. Next we headed to the Jungle Cruise. It was getting warmer and...

    We got the Darth Vader/Wookie Planet/Bounty Hunter Sequence. Chewbaca landing on the front of our speeder was hilarious!! I left it out earlier but we had gone a separate time and gotten Darth Vader/Tatooine (pod racers)/Bounty Hunter before. I'm guessing the bounty hunter sequence does not...

    Ok, so sorry to leave the report lingering on a somewhat negative note. I have been having trouble with my computer reading my memory card but we're back in business!! Wednesday, Sept 5th: Park Hopping! Today was our last day :-( But we were all up and in great moods, ready to take on the...

    Well they had a lot going on! My understanding is that the MMY show is not going to be played anymore. Although I believe you can still see the ever evolving version at the MK. I can't believe the race was 2 weeks ago either! Man how time has flown. Funny how it takes forever for your...

    world of color

    No one had mentioned this yet so I will...I enjoy It's a Small World at Disneyland because of all of the neat character add-ins. It is a fun surprise! Other non-WDW attractions that we enjoy are Carsland of course, California Screamin', Mickey's Fun Wheel, Indiana Jones, the DL version of...

    world of color

    We ended up with blue Fastpasses and by the time the show started, everyone was standing and we couldn't see a thing. If I could do it again, I would book a dining ADR package and guarantee a good spot. It's an awesome show, one of my all-time Disney favorites. Go to the lengths to get a good...

    Surprised how great of a park Disney's California Adventure actually was

    We always enjoy California Adventure, and try to give equal touring time to Disneyland when we go! It's true a few years back it was pretty stale, with a few hit attractions but nothing else to stand on. The improvements they have made are so remarkable!

    I am a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics...A Disneyland Half Marathon Trip Report!

    This picture is called "We're Finally There!!) We thought RSR was awesome!!! We only ended up waiting 60 minutes, not 75 and we felt it was worth the wait! Honestly, it was amazingly done! When we got off, we just explored and took in all the details. What an amazing job the...

    I am a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics...A Disneyland Half Marathon Trip Report!

    Entering Cars Land for the first time we went through the arch from Pacific Wharf. Cute Rusteez signs: Mater Tried It, Nearly Fainted, Looked Like, He had Just, Been Painted!! Too cute! RSR said 75 minutes but we decided to wait anyway. The actual Radiator...

    TSMM is always a huge hit with our whole group. Even Mom on her first time was laughing away, having a great time DH and I are super competitive on this ride because we are pretty evenly matched. This time I won though! I also got highest score in the vehicle up to that point for the...

    I am a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics...A Disneyland Half Marathon Trip Report!

    Cooled down, we felt ready to head toward Paradise Pier. I had checked wait times for Cali Screamin' and TSMM and both were reasonable (15 and 30 minutes respectively) I love the boardwalk, it is so fun! On our way DS wanted to meet Duffy the Disney Bear. I was so proud of him, he...

    The boys just loved Phineas and Ferb. I know some of the tween stuff is annoying to people without tweens but I am thankful that Disney has unique experiences that appeal to their age. We were hot, sucking down water and searching for shade at this point. Our FP time was up so we headed back...

    After a satisfying lunch, we thought we would head over and catch the next showing of Aladdin. We missed it though because someone (myself:oops:) was lagging behind taking pictures. This did not make DH very happy and we ended up with an argument. Basically it went like this...I would not have...

    I am a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics...A Disneyland Half Marathon Trip Report!

    LOL!!! Thank you very much! I feel like I have an eye for good pictures, but not always the technical ability! I have a fairly basic Nikon camera that I am still figuring out. It drives me nuts when my pictures end up blurry or have weird glares or people in them (not that you can help the...
