Disneyland is 50 Years Old

Posted on 05. May, 2005 by Blair in Uncategorized

Disneyland is one of my favorite places on earth and I have had the opportunity to be in the park for lots of special events. I was there for the opening of Star Tours, Captain EO & Indiana Jones. For the 40th Anniversary I drove to the park everyday to get a set of the 40 Years trading cards. I even have had a chance to go to a few different cast only events. I now have another experience to add to this list of special events I have had the chance to attend. I won 2 tickets to the Sneak Peek of the 50th Anniversary! How fun is that!! Christie & I got to the park around 9am in time for the Parade. We met some friends from our small group there and they had saved an area for us near the Emporium. The parade is amazing. The characters are sooo cool. You have to see it to believe it. By the way, Mickey & Minnie steal the show. From there we went and got a chance to go on the new Buzz Lightyear ride. It was way fun and I did a pretty decent job at defending the galazy from the Evil Emperor Zurg.

Over the course of the day we also got to go on a few other really fun rides and see lots of cool stuff. All the preparations for the 50th have really paid off and if you have not made plans yet to get to Disneyland in the near future you should. Well actually you might want to wait until after July 17th to go, since if you wait you can ride on Space Mountain as well.

On the homefront there has been some big stuff this week. Sally’s room is nearing completion which is good since I am pretty sure she is going to kick her way out any day now! We officially have a pediatrician, and we have also gotten through our first official birthing class. All good stuff!
