“…in thousands of sparkling lights and electro-synthe-magnetic musical sounds.”

Disney post!  We brought Ellie to Disneyland yesterday, and we had a grand old time.

Emmett and "ZaZa" on the tram.

corn tortillas from the mission factory!

after lunch, first stop was the king triton carousel

and then over to Mickey's Fun Wheel, the non nausea-inducing car, of course.

If we didn't live in LA, I'm sure we could have seen our house from up there.

Then we went over to Disneyland and saw the All-American College Band, who were forced to wear these ridiculous Globetrotter-looking outfits.

Then we went on the Rocket Ships, where we saw this poor couple struggling to fit into their rocket. He gave her a kiss after they got in. Very sweet.

Then we went on Buzz Lightyear, where Emmett got a personal best

And so did Ellie.

Then we went back over to CA Adventure and were disappointed to find out that the Aladdin show is only playing Thursday through Sunday now. D'oh!

So we went back over to Disneyland to ride the carousel,

and play around at Innoventions (after balking at the Finding Nemo 45 minute wait)

Apparently, Emmett is the beginning of my future.

To kill time before the parade, we went to CA Adventure to the Animation Academy

Where Emmett was the model student.

This is our rendition of Tigger

And then we camped out for the Electrical Parade. 'Twas very nostalgic for me. The old music, some of the original floats. Good times.

Up close, Pete's Dragon is a lot bigger than I remember him.

on our way out, the fireworks were going off in Disneyland.

Everyone stopped in Downtown Disney to watch.

All in all a good trip.  My feet hurt from mistakenly wearing flip flops.  I still hope we can get out there to see the new Fantasmic Dragon.  Rumor is that he is debuting this Monday!  Anyone wanna go?
