Trip Report Soon it will just be two of us - A very unique Max Trip Report

Hello to all of my WDWMagic friends

For those that did not notice I am back now from an extended absence from the boards even though @Tuvalu did her best to keep me engaged
The reason for the disappearing act was a very special (and time consuming) event
So we start this report with a wonderful trip down the aisle...

Stephanie and Jordan got married!!!

The venue was a (very) local golf course (5 min drive from our house)
Both the ceremony and reception were in the same room

Pictures at the house - Cassie was the maid of honour

The grooms people were (left to right) a combination of Jordan's brother Evan, his best man is his best friend from high school( also named Jordan!) , his two close friends from University (Maria and Roshni) and Cassie's BF Shane

This one was just before the walk down the aisle - I held it together - no blubbering at all!

When you spend a small fortune on a wedding you get a front row seat!!!

If you have not been to DLR - you should

From a distance you can imagine that Walt and Mickey are going to Carsland for the first time ....

Next up we headed back toward Soarin

Your feet are so privileged. The Disneyland Hotel had the magical ability to move a block away each night as I carried a tired kiddo on my back. It was truly magical.

Day 3 Pixar pier
New for us was the Pixar themed pier
The inside out ride used to be part of the bugs life area ( which was recently demolished for the marvel expansion.

This ride was well themed so I took a few pics

All caught up. Again.

At first my brain processed “big thunder selfie” as “big thundie” and it amused me way more than it should have.

 

[amjt660]

And then it was something new for us

Left coast Philharmagic !!

#shirleyredcarpet for Tricia!

More red carpet for Max to sit on!!

This was Sat Nov 9- 3 days before Disney + launched- so it was cool to see these

No baby Yoda merchandise- it was still a surprise at this point!!
