The night that everything went so wrong

I wanted to go Disneyland this month. Period. Yes, it may be the busiest month ever to go but it was also the most beautiful month to go. It had been almost 3 years since the last time I went with John. Janet, our lovely friend who works for Disney was able to take us in for free. Since weekends are block out dates for her, Friday the 18th was the only day she can take us. So on Friday evening, we waited for John to get off work to drive down to Anaheim together. Boy, we were stuck in the holiday traffic for 3 hours and when we finally got there, we circled in the parking lot for an hour to finally find a spot. Instead of getting there at 6-7 like we initially planned, we got there at almost 9! Just in time for the fireworks. It was a magical experience of course. When you are in Disneyland, everything just seems so magical. Everything seems so carefree like anything is possible. :) At least to me... that's why i love Disneyland so much.

still excited despite the horrible traffic experience getting there... taking the tram on our way in to Disneyland along with a zoo of people!

Once we got to the entrance, there were long lines everywhere. Thank goodness the lines were moving pretty fast.

the beautiful magic castle.the zoo of people... it was the most crowded Disneyland I've even been

the fireworks started 1/2 hour later.... with Disney songs blasting on the background, it was just such a magical experience. Until some jerk cut in front of our view! When the fireworks finally stopped, it snowed! Yes, it snowed in southern cali. I told you anything is possible in Disneyland =) It was soooooo beautiful! After the fireworks, we quickly made our way to "It's a small world" ride.

more long lines.

on our way out.... till next time!

It was still a wonderful night although with a few bumps along the way. I still love Disneyland and I did enjoy the few hours we spent there. Thank you Janet and Jimmy for the free pass!
