I Never Knew I Was A Screamer ... A Birthday Celebration

[sinderella81]

I never knew I was a screamer ... I didn't really want to become a Cullen ... but those were two things I discovered yesterday ...

Splainy? Sure! A log on my day at Disneyland to follow ...

So, Cori and I arrived at Disneyland at about 10:30 am and headed straight for Ghost Galaxy (otherwise known as the Halloween version of Space Mountain). So my birthday mojo was working for us because SCORE! We got front row! Now ... normally on Space Mountain I do that laughyell kind of scream ... THIS time I was SCREAMING ... and going 'Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!' And the picture they take at the end? That is never seeing the light of day ... ever ... the wind had pushed my hair up so I looked like a boy ... with boobs ... No one will ever see that.

Then we got some lunch and went on Star Tours ... then headed for Haunted Mansion which was all decked out for Nightmare Before Christmas ... SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! It was amazing ...

Then we went on Pirates ... where the guy sending the boats off told me 'Argh! Happy Birthday!'

We hit 'Indiana Jones' next ... we got Single Rider Passes and went in through the back ... only to find that the ride had shut down ... we waited about 30 minutes and then it was up and running again. So we went on ...

Then we wandered around Fantasyland, went on Snow White and walked through Sleeping Beauty's Castle ... then outside the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique one of the workers stopped and asked if I'd made a birthday wish ... I said I hadn't and so she put her wand on my head and made me say the magic words (bibbidi bobbidi boo) and then I was off. I later learned that her wand had sprayed glitter all over me ... I sparkled ... I was innagurated into the Cullen family *snort* ... I continued to sparkle for the rest of the day and night.

Then we went back to New Orleans Square and had an early dinner before walking down Main Street a bit. We decided to go back on Star Tours again where we encountered the most adorable girl. She was in the line to be in the row behind us. She wanted her dad to make the door open ... then she wanted me to make my door open. She was probably 4 or 5, with the cutest face and frizzy curly hair - absolutely adorable!! She asked who's birthday it was, me or my friends' and I said it was mine and pointed to my birthday pin. She asked my name, and then I asked hers. "Alexandria," she said. I shook her hand and said it was nice to meet her. We went on the ride and then as we were walking out she asked if we wanted to go on Ghost Galaxy with her and her dad. I told her we were meeting a friend and going on Haunted Mansion. She was seriously one of the most adorable kids ever!!!

Met dcompose(friend/former coworker) and we went on Haunted Manusion again. Then we went on Pirates before heading to Main Street to find a place to watch the fireworks. The fireworks were all redone for Halloween and were OMGAmazing with fire shooting up from Cinderella's castle!!!!!

The three of us went on Astro Blasters, grabbed some hot chocolate (in a cool collectable traveler's mug), then did a little shopping before heading home.

We got to the parking structure at about 11:15 ... I drove Cori home and then crawled into bed about about 12:10 ...

 All in all ... SO MUCH FUN!!!!!
