Great Day

[mlerules]

Lavish superlatives won't do it justice. Mega-fab day. Long long day. Soooo sleeeepy. Up before 4am. Left LAX pre/at-dawn, when the yellow was starting to show and the image of plane tails w/the start of sunlight glinting put me in mind of lobster tails and melted butter. Then: wine, dine, dancing, falling, riding, laughing, singing, enjoying life the universe and everything...and FIREWORKS, which always make me SO happy.

Excellent. Thanks for the post on D-land. I'm so gettign addicted to that place again (now that I seem to have the extra money to make the trip).

I'm beginning to formulate a plan to spend a couple of nights in the Grand Californian and take one day to do California Adventure and one day for Disney Land.

It's A Good Addiction

Sweet! I'd advise getting a 2-day park-hopper pass rather than planning on spending a full day at each. CA's far less crowded, but closes 2 hours before DL. We tend to have a fab time doing CA during the day, sometimes w/a quickie DL ride or two to start or mid-day, then hitting DL after hours. It's just nice having the option to bounce back and force 'pending on whim.

Do tell when you wanna go, as we both have annual passes and were just remarking yesterday how it'd be fun to assemble a gang and go w/more folks!
