Cast
Myself - 47/48, mother to
DD 1 - 15
DD 2 - 11
Along for the ride, my sister - 53
We had a wonderful time. Every time I go to Disneyland or Disney World I am surprised (I have a very bad memory!) by how lovely it is. The flowers were beautiful, the parks were clean and the cast members were friendly. And the rollercoasters were awesome!
DD 2 managed to go on Big Thunder 7 times and DD 1 managed to go on Pirates 8 times. New records! I was happy to get on Space Mountain 3 times and finally get on Finding Nemo, and to survive California Screamin'.
We had lunch at The Blue Bayou for my birthday and it couldn't have been better. We had a table right by the "river" and much waving to the passing POTC boats happened. We all enjoyed our meals, but DD 2's desert was incredible. She had the Flying Dutchman, which is a large chocolate chip cookie, ice cream, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce and sugar sail.
This is the first time that we used Anaheim Resort Transit and it worked well for us. There was only one stop between our hotel and the park and the buses ran about every 20 minutes.
I was very anxious before the trip due to work problems and my arthritis in my feet acting up, but Disney worked its magic. I was able to walk as much as I wanted to (only occasionally limping) and my anxieties disappeared as we concentrated on having fun.
So now we're back at work/school and I'm working on keeping a more relaxed frame of mind. And I bought a double CD set with the music from the rides and parks so I've got a reminder (besides all our pictures) of what a great time we had.
