Trip Report Pratt55 turns 45 at the Happiest Place on Earth

pratt55 · 02-27-2009, 07:34 PM

Yes, it's true I had another birthday and went to my favorite place to see some of my favorite people for my birthday. We bribed our kids to come with us so that some of you would see that they are not imaginary although sometimes they have given me nightmares.

Getting ready to depart in the van we have Kid1 in the middle row and Kid2 in the backseat.

We had to make a new stop this trip to see General Patton at his museum. Kid1 is a history major so he wanted to go in but fortunately for me it was closed.

General Patton and his dog Willie forever.

Tanks for the memories

I wondered if I used my little gun if I could borrow a tank to drive in CA.

Just a little teeny tiny gun

What is up with the salt on the mountains in CA?

We stopped at Hadley's to check out the hats. Kid2 trying on the latest fashions in headwear.

Anyone up for some eggs?

A lovely camry for O-nut that parked just sideways enough to be annoying.

Kid1 and 2 on the tram into the park.

The soon to be birthday girl and Timmy55 on the tram

This is when we arrived for posterity's sake.

First ride the kids picked Indy, rats, I hate Indy.

I live with these 3 men every single day.

Mommy making sure her boys are safe in line

Tulips are everywhere and I love it.

My babies

We left the boys to go check into the hotel and get settled. We then had plans to meet up with the still happily ever after newlyweds YoyoFlamingo and NeverNeverland (NNL), plus my Aashee.

NNL and me together again. She was a tad bit scared because she had texted me earlier and I may have raised my voice to say 'no texting allowed"

I decided we were having dinner at Plaza Inn. It was good but don't drink the grape juice, it is not good for you. We headed over to take an evening tour of the jungle cruise thinking a certain friend was working but when it turned out she wasn't we went ahead and got on and had an OK captain.

Afterwards it was fantasy time so we headed over to Peter Pan. Aashee and I rode together and all I can say is "what happens on Pan stays on Pan"

One fantasy ride with me and Aashee could not look me in the eye

Fortunately just then Disney1978 showed up. YoYo, NNL, Disney1978 and the still 44 year old.

Aashee left us after I broke him so I went on Dumbo to get happy again.

NNL was still working out the kinks in the 1st year of marriage to Yoyo.

Holy crapola, flying nuns

Sorry no Sally Field in the group

But we did spot Disney1978 taking pics.

Our future DIL on Snow White with us.

Fortunately NNL and Yoyo worked out their differences since they realized it was all so Dopey.

It was getting quite late for this old lady. We about to call it a night when we got word Skywaygrl and Mamabot were about to make an entrance. So after much cajoling and promises of caffeine we said we would watch Fantasmic. First stop Market House for caffeine.

Me, NNL, YoYo, Skywaygrl, Disney1978 and fellow February birthday girl Mamabot.

This soldier guards the Market House just for me.

Mother and daughter picture.

NNL and Yoyo = Never Yoyo

Disney1978 and Skywaygrl

The Fantastic Fantasmic Crew

Still 44 yo; Mamabot; NNL; Yoyo; Disney1978 and Skywaygrl

After Fantasmic I finally was allowed to leave the park but first we had to see newlywed's brick.

Coming up sometime later when I feel like it. Saturday, I turn 45, Yes MickeyMaxx 45 not 55.

Hayley B · 02-27-2009, 08:58 PM

Great Trip Report Pratt. I'm happy to see you had a wonderful time on your birthday. Those boys are sure are silly. I'm sure they love Disneyland just as much as you.

I also, love the Flying Nuns pictures. That is too funny.

Thanks for sharing with us.

gRuMpEe · 02-27-2009, 09:37 PM

Rocker · 02-27-2009, 09:47 PM

Flying nuns? That IS interesting in a TR! Good report so far, Lisa.

Olympicnut · 02-27-2009, 09:58 PM

SEE!! That's what I'm talking about. And see how it's all beat up? I'm tellin' ya, my theory is spot on.

Aladdin · 02-27-2009, 10:15 PM

Something about you and flying elepants - you even hit flying elephants on the way to DL, one time. hahahaha.

And yes, the nuns having fun is one of my favorite pictures in your report, too!

(By the way, I love to page through those "nuns having fun" calendars - that come out each year.)

Here's another similar picture from a few decades ago:

royaldisneyfan · 02-27-2009, 10:20 PM

Keep them comin Pratt55!

SCUBAbe · 02-27-2009, 11:01 PM

I saw a whole rocket full of nuns on space mountain once. It was cute.

Melonballer · 02-27-2009, 11:15 PM

I once saw a whole lot of Nuns at Sea World. Then I realized they were actually penguins.

I love the report so far.
