The day before we left California, I went to Disneyland with our friend Crystal! I cannot put into words how much fun it was, but I’ll try with a few words and pictures!

So cool seeing Mary Poppins after just seeing Saving Mr. Banks a few weeks ago!

I want to say here that it was awesome going with someone who had been to Disneyland many times. She was able to walk me through everything….and talk me into things I didn’t realize I wanted. Thanks Crystal!

The first thing she talked me into was Mouse Ears. I’m obviously very happy with this decision.

What was even better was that I could get MY name on them! I don’t know about you….but my name isn’t very common. Even a shortened version (Jen or Jenny) is rare to find on those personalized racks. I love Jennifers, I do….but that’s not my name. Soooo happy Jennilyn is now on something I own. 🙂

While we were waiting for my hat, we rode the teacups! I had a blast! Laughing like a little kid. My friend has the video, so I’ll have to bug her about that….for now, here are a few pictures!

After the teacups….she said I had to see this Jedi training thing….ok, cool! I love Star Wars. It’s training for kids 4-12…after a few minutes, I’m like, eh, I’m ok if we move on. Crystal said, oh….you don’t want to see Darth Vader? At this point my mouth was hanging open and I quickly said, OH! Nevermind!!!

Then this happened….

And this happened….

At this point I screamed in a “I’m seeing some pop star and screaming like a girl”…..”THAT’S DARTH MAUL!!!! HE’S MY FAVORITE!!!!”

I tried to get some pictures, but he was too far away….so I’m like, I gotta go get a closer shot!!!

I did…

I later found out that my friend thought I was going to run out and interrupt the show….heh heh, nahhhhhh. 🙂

Then we saw the Haunted Mansion….decorated for Christmas….Oh wait, I forgot to mention! The whole park was decorated for Christmas!!!

Anyways, the Haunted Mansion was taken over by Jack from the Nightmare Before Christmas! Too cool!!

Then we went to toon town and Crystal put me in jail!

I got to see Pluto! He didn’t see me, as you can see.

I got to see Chip and Dale’s tree house!

Sleeping Beauty’s castle all ready for Christmas!

It’s A Small World…also ready for Christmas!

On the tram you get to see the Grand Canyon!

Disney at night! Beautiful!
