But before I left I ran into these folks on Main Street.

Time to pick up my luggage and meet the Uber driver.

After my Uber driver came it was only 15 minutes to the airport (SNA). Time to fly!

A couple of pictures from the air. I had a quick stop in Salt Lake City before continuing on to Minneapolis. When I landed in Salt Lake City I was mildly annoyed for 2 reasons:
1. our plane was a little late so I didn't have time to grab any decent food
2. my student teacher texted that she was "sick" and wouldn't be able to come to school tomorrow. My flight was coming in around midnight so I was going to be super tired, I was banking on her to run the show.

Anyway....another picture with the Pacific in it this time

It was a fantastic Disneyland trip and I can't wait to return in July. This time I will be bringing the hubs with.

Thanks for reading my trip report!

Another great TR completed! :happy: Thanks for taking us along!! All your photos were fun, and in this latest batch, I focused on The Pearly Band. I've never heard of these guys before and enjoy their costumes.

In a way, it seems like DL has more street performers than WDW. Maybe it's because in DL, they don't seem to use as many stages, or designated (cordoned off areas) as much. I also like seeing the characters just walking among the crowds there. My perception is that It appears like there are more impromptu appearances by the performing CMS there, versus what seems to be more "scheduled" times for CM performers at WDW.

Lastly, I love your t-shirt!! That is so cute.

My husband and I were sad to read this. We both prefer Space Mountain as Hyperspace Mountain.

My husband is sad that Hyperspace Mt. won't be there in July because he is the Star Wars nerd in our family. I like Hyperspace Mt, but it has been so long since I was at Disneyland and rode the old Space, I think it will be fun to see the old version again. Then I can decide which I truly like better.

Thanks! The musical acts is something that is in my top ten things I love about Disneyland. There seems to be some sort of musical group around every corner. I agree that things seem a little impromptu at DL but I'm sure they are just as scheduled as WDW.

Hooooray!! What a great report! Thanks for taking me along. I look forward to the next visit (in like 25+ days?!). I need to get to Anaheim one of these days. I've yet to be able to score a DVC Deluxe Studio room at the Grand Californian. They're always gone at 8:01 am. Maybe I'll get lucky someday.
