10/6 Trip Report (October 3rd - 10th)

So we met up with friends to caravan down Saturday morning. They loaded up my truck *OOF* and we were off. We drove several hours through the desert.

We stopped in Vegas to see a few friends play. Being a DJ has it's perks. We found ourselves on several guest lists.

The monorail proves to be a good place to show off our pole dancing skills. Dating a Pole Fitness Instructor has it's perks too!

Our view from our Hotel. After nursing a slight hangover we were on the road again.

http://inlinethumb41.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

Our trip wasn't all for play. We are staying in a house our friend owns and were there to repaint.

http://inlinethumb55.webshots.com/39...500x500Q85.jpg

We had a meeting as soon as we arrived in Oceanside to discuss the weeks plan.

http://inlinethumb33.webshots.com/43...500x500Q85.jpg

During the meeting we set up the turntables and played a little music.

http://inlinethumb05.webshots.com/40...500x500Q85.jpg

A BBQ ensued! Fun was had!

http://inlinethumb36.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

The house is right on the water. It's just out of the shot in this ^^^ photo.

http://inlinethumb25.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

We all brought our boards and spent a lot of time in the water. This young seal kept stealing the bait from the fishermen.

http://inlinethumb63.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

We're about 1/4 down the Strand. So we ate at Ruby's quite often. I'm not terribly brave and didn't stray from my ususal.

http://inlinethumb32.webshots.com/41...500x500Q85.jpg

Painting the house started Wed and was done by Thursday afternoon.

http://inlinethumb58.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

GF and I were in charge of the upstairs bedrooms. I thought we did the best job!

http://inlinethumb17.webshots.com/21...500x500Q85.jpg

This is Will. We kept babynapping him from his parents to take him to the beach.

http://inlinethumb25.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

He would probably swim all the way to HKDL if we let him. He freaking LOVES the water.

http://inlinethumb55.webshots.com/43...500x500Q85.jpg

We made it to Disneyland Friday morning. We all wanting to wait until every ride possible would be open. And we're glad we did.

PART 2 COMING SOON!

Interesting beginning. Look forward to part 2.

Nice!

Great trip report so far.

PART 2 - I apologize for the wait...

http://inlinethumb18.webshots.com/11...500x500Q85.jpg

Our first time seeing DL in the fall.

http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

Of course our first ride of the day.

http://inlinethumb54.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

Baby Will was just laughing at all the ghosts. What a tough little dude.

http://inlinethumb41.webshots.com/22...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb20.webshots.com/39...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb19.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

Then off to the rider swap on Splash. Winnie the Pooh while we wait!

http://inlinethumb16.webshots.com/46...500x500Q85.jpg

When we arrived Indy was down. It was the first day Indy opened after the small down time.

http://inlinethumb44.webshots.com/31...500x500Q85.jpg

We were on of the first groups to see the new AA. A VERY PLEASENT surprise.

http://inlinethumb33.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

PART 3

http://inlinethumb02.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

Having Will with us was a lot of fun.

http://inlinethumb42.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

He wanted to ride everything we wanted. You couldn't ask for a better 1year old to ride with.

http://inlinethumb59.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb12.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb46.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb29.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

"Will! What does the kitty say?" Will's responce was a very loud growl... interupted our Skipper's speil. Very funny.

http://inlinethumb03.webshots.com/46...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb52.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb57.webshots.com/36...500x500Q85.jpg

I LOVE how beautiful Adventureland is. Sure doesn't get enough attention.

http://inlinethumb11.webshots.com/43...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb39.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

The Restrooms by Tiki were closed, so it was off too the next closest. (... I know there are restrooms @ Tiki but the group didn't care to stop their yet... *POUT*)

http://inlinethumb06.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb01.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

Gotta say... Ghost Galaxy? NOT A FAN! Can't wait until it's gone.

http://inlinethumb50.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

Agree'd that it's way too bright. Screens were poorly projected. (edges were very apparent) The music was really boring, and didn't match the ride what-so-ever. The story was never explained. The character (Ghost Galaxy) was see SO much that nothing about it was scary... very inconsistant too.

http://inlinethumb64.webshots.com/41...500x500Q85.jpg

The BEST PART were the projections outside on the dome.

http://inlinethumb04.webshots.com/36...500x500Q85.jpg

To wipe that awful experiance from our memory a quick shaky ride down the Matterhorn.

http://inlinethumb32.webshots.com/28...500x500Q85.jpg

Then over to Frontierland. Very pleased with the pumpkins this year. I saw a lot of them last year on line and was very happy to see them in person.

http://inlinethumb35.webshots.com/23...500x500Q85.jpg

We couldn't find the turtle. Any help?

http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/10...500x500Q85.jpg

PART 4

http://inlinethumb15.webshots.com/43...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb43.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

I'm always happy with how pretty BTMR is.

http://inlinethumb47.webshots.com/43...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb63.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

It's THE wildest ride in the wilderness. It's the WILDEST ride in the wilderness. It's the wildest RIDE in the wilderness. It's the wildest ride IN the wilderness.... etc etc.

http://inlinethumb52.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

Looking for lizards... with ladders.

http://inlinethumb25.webshots.com/24...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb14.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

After splitting with the group we all met at SBC to pick up Will and take him where everyone dreds.

http://inlinethumb34.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb26.webshots.com/46...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb33.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb41.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

A quick stop at Toad Hall.

http://inlinethumb50.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

^^^^^ It's all HIS fault ^^^^^^

http://inlinethumb49.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

^^^^ What's going on here? ^^^^

http://inlinethumb11.webshots.com/10...500x500Q85.jpg

Everyone is so thrilled to come back from hell.

http://inlinethumb04.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

^^^ "What happened?" ^^^

http://inlinethumb64.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb31.webshots.com/17...500x500Q85.jpg

^^^ I want to build this in my back yard. ^^^

PART 5

http://inlinethumb12.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

We took Will over to "it's a small world!" We really enjoy it and our group was happy to get away with not riding. Their loss.

http://inlinethumb04.webshots.com/17...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb12.webshots.com/23...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb15.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

We took the train around to Tomorrowland as Will fell asleep. We had FP's for Space (that I almost gave away GG was so bad) that we needed to use.

http://inlinethumb40.webshots.com/61...500x500Q85.jpg

The first half of the group rode while I took Sleeping Will into Innoventions. That kid could sleep through an earthquake. Jeez!

http://inlinethumb42.webshots.com/27...500x500Q85.jpg

Off too NEMO!

http://inlinethumb63.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

Then "it's a small world!" since Will's dad left the stroller there. (Will doesn't like it anyways)

http://inlinethumb64.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

Wow! we just walked around the park for a while waiting for everyone to gather for Fireworks.

http://inlinethumb37.webshots.com/43...500x500Q85.jpg

A great ride on HMH just before F!. Our DB stopped just before Oogie.

http://inlinethumb02.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb09.webshots.com/16...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb04.webshots.com/32...500x500Q85.jpg

On our way out of the park we stopped by Tink's house. We had never seen this before but have been several times since it opened.

http://inlinethumb08.webshots.com/53...500x500Q85.jpg

http://inlinethumb42.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg

We made it home late. Crashed then prepaired for a long drive home.

A quick pic from our front porch....
