Disneyland Date Night



Last night we went to Disneyland with Rachel & Chad, Matt & Christine, Travis & Ashley, Angela & Ian.   Casey & Rob came too, but they had to leave early.  It was insane at Disneyland.  We left the Irvine Spectrum to drive up there at 6pm.  We didn’t get into the park until 7:30--- during this hour and a half, we got up to the Disney exit pretty easily, however we sat in a very very long line for the parking garage for over an hour. In this time Russ managed to pick a fight with a mom in a mini van who wouldn’t let him merge.  He rolled down the window and asked her why she wouldn’t let him merge. She argued back that it must be because he is wearing glasses and he can’t see that the merge isn’t happening yet, and he shouldn’t be trying to merge at that moment. Russ went back to give her some fly comments and she of course argued back, but in the end, she let him in.  Ahhhh... 


And then for the four hours we were at Disneyland we were only able to go on two rides because of the lines and the crowds.  So we went on Space Mountain (which was so cool how they changed it so it was a “scary theme for the holidays) and Indiana Jones.  On Space Mountain, Russ tried to show everyone how cool he was by talking about how after the ride you can hang back for a second and then jump on the ride again where there are empty spots.  Everyone was in awe by this “trick” and to prove that it worked, Russ did just that.  He jumped on the ride right after we got off.  He gave us a thumbs up as we watched him start to pull away from the loading dock.  But he didn’t get very far. One of the ride attendants noticed what he did and a few seconds later they stopped the cart and asked him to get out before they would proceed with the ride.  So he came back to our group with is head hanging low. But he still swears it works, he just got caught.  :)  I must admit that it is true. When we’ve gone to Magic Mountain or Knott's Berry Farm I’ve watched him do it several times.  It was just so funny that it didn’t work the one time he was trying to prove that it did.


Despite the long lines and the infinite time it took to park, the night was extremely fun because we got to hangout and talk with everyone who was there!  We’re looking forward to another Disneyland Date night soon!

Sounds like a fun night! I have only been to Disneyland and California Adventure once, but I want to go back! I have been to Disney World about 7 times. Always a good time! Love, love, love Disney!

Yes, you have to do it again! I was so sad we couldn't go with you. My parents were planning on going out of town for conference, but didn't at the last minute (of course I didn't know they were stil here until 10PM). We really want to go with you sometime :) The park was insane last Friday too..I heard it's always crazy on Friday's this time of year.
