Good times!


I've been away...  :)  On 19 June I flew down to SoCal for a loooo-o-o-ong weekend at Disneyland!!  



I happened to come down with a nasty bronchial infection before I left--which was simply yucky! Thankfully I was able to see Dr. Chaput before I left and she set me up for healing.



When I arrived, I landed in a major heat wave!  The temps the first three days were in the 100s and it was nearly unbearable.  The absolute best time of day was after supper.  The temperatures would drop down and the crowds left during the heat leaving the Park for us to really enjoy!  



As you can see from this photo...the sun was blazing!  My poor feet were blistered and thankfully, with some Solarcaine and SPF 60 they didn't really hurt and healed up super great.  Looks like I'll have Chaco feet for the rest of the summer :)



You may have noticed in the first photo the poster under the welcome sign to the Parks is a notice for the brand new attraction:  Toy Story Mania at DCA--yeowzers!  I think it is GREAT!!!  I coerced Ma to wait in line four times in a row one day...only about 45 minutes at a time...not too bad since the line was up to over three hours at Park opening!!  




 As you can see...we ran into a little trouble exploring the Temple of the Forbidden Eye...Thank goodness Dr. Indiana Jones was there to help us out!  







Ma kinda froze, we had to unwrap her from around that giant boulder!  












We met up with friends one day and hit a few attractions (including Splash Mountain!!) before meeting up with some other friends for a very, very tasty supper at the Blue Bayou.  











This was my first time back since the big menu change...prices are definitely higher--but the food was excellent!  Plus, not much can beat the atmosphere of eating inside Pirates of the Caribbean!!  





All in all Disneyland was lots of fun!  I didn't get photos of all the Indiana Jones clues...because I forgot.  I did get lots of other photos, though.  I'm sure I'll post more eventually.  



Now, to lok forward to Walt Disney World this fall!!!
