Chad and I have been saving for a while now to take a much needed 10-year anniversary trip (no small feat when you haven't been paid in 6 months). Then, an emergency appendectomy pretty much ate up all that hard-earned savings. Who wants to go to the boring old tropics anyway? Totally overrated. So, we took the party closer to home. Yes, we can't wait to take our kids, but it was TOTALLY worth going just the two of us--we got to go on all the big rides, didn't stop for naps, and stayed up until the park closed.
You have to take this picture or else you didn't really go to Disneyland, you just kinda went.
Chad's favorite ride and this time it was actually open (last time we went, nearly ten years ago, it was closed).
My favorite ride was closed...again (also closed last time we went almost ten years ago). I don't think the Matterhorn actually exists anymore except for the REAL one I actually went to for REAL in Switzerland. So TAKE THAT Disneyland. Lame.
Getting off spectacular hip shots with my camera at the exact moment lightning strikes. You should totally be impressed.
Big Thunder Mt. Aren't we cute?
Successfully rode Splash Mt. In case you're wondering, I'm a total pansy when it comes to big drops. I can go fast, I can loop de loop, I can twirl and go upside down, backwards, etc. But drops just scare the pooh out of me.
Chad successfully rides Splash Mt. Best moment on the ride was when it broke down and we floated in darkness. The only light working was the shadow of the weasel just before the big drop--mechanically laughing. I'm telling you, it was freaky.
Two things to look for: Me and the strategically placed hands of the guy in front of Chad.
Matterhorn. Lame.
Waiting for Autopia.
Cappy.
Mappy.
Guess who has two thumbs and was also the rebel spy Darth Vader was after? This girl! Although this is looking like Space Mt. and not Star Tours. But I totally had to brag.
I heart Space Mt.
Sexy Jones and the temple of Hunkiness.
Toon Town.
This ride broke down while we were in line. A 15 minute wait became like a forever minute wait. We were wearing these awesome Anniversary buttons that they give you at Town Hall, so the girl operating the ride gave us these mega special passes that very few people even know about. We could go to the front of any ride at any time. Not fast pass people, faster pass. Score!
Oh, here's Star Tours. Guess who got to be the rebel spy Darth Vader was after? This girl!! Chad was totally jealous.
Soarin' Over California. Do not have a party in your seats, people. Disneyland seats are not a place to have a party.
Grizzly River Run.
Ferris Wheel. I did it! Also a pansy about Ferris Wheels. Hello, you're dangling in the air in a cage!
First time on Tower of Terror. Remember how I don't like drops? Afterward, Chad was like, "That was awesome! Every time they opened the doors, it was so cool!" And I was like, "They opened the doors?"
Midway Mania is our FAVE! And my hair looks awful. Never do the Grizzly River Run first thing if you have curly hair. Gross.
Getting Ready for World of Color.
Second time on Splash Mt. See? I did a little better.
Why are the lines so long?
Second time on Tower of Terror. Chad has his hands up, but I did better.
Kissing a frog. You never know, it's Disneyland.
Fireworks.
Going home. Bye Disneyland. I love you. Hawaii, you suck.

I am a total Disneyland lover, and though it is a riot with kids, I can totally appreciate the magic as a couple! So glad you guys had a getaway. And by the way, you look smokin' hot!
I am a hundred of jealous. Also, my sis in law didn't know what Tower of Terror was, and she is also a super drop wimp. When they went down she punched my brother in the face. Literally. Punched. In. The. Face.
