When hinges creak in doorless chambers...

After we said farewell to Comic Con we drove up to The Happiest Place on Earth. We met up with Justin and Kathy and we got Ryan to be our guide again!

It had always been a dream of mine to stay at The Grand Californian because of its being right in the park and this time my dream came true :) We could see California Adventure from our room!


Over at Disneyland we rode the Matterhorn FOUR times in a row! I love that Yeti beast!

And we made funny faces on Splash Mountain.

We had dinner at The Blue Bayou which is the restaurant inside the Pirates of the Caribbean. I got the surf and turf. Mmmmmm.

In front of the entrance to California Adventure are giant letters that spell out "California". Most people take pictures standing inside the "O" or the "A", or standing on the "C". But Kathy felt bad for the "I" because she figured it was the most neglected letter for being so boring and straight. So we took a pic with it to make it feel better about itself.



I opted out of one of the rides due to its vomitous spinning action, so everyone decided to use my head as hat storage while I waited for them to get off the ride.


The Grizzly River Run got me good this time. (Must have been karma for laughing at Latta for getting drenched all those years ago!)


Ryan and I were the only ones who didn't feel like we were gonna barf if we went on the Maliboomer.

Drink up me hearties yo-ho,
Bethany :)

Can you imagine if you did barf with that shield in front of you? Is it to prevent people from spitting on passersby below?

When we went to Disney World with my sister and brother-in-law back when the kids were little they rode in the car behind us when we went on Big Thunder Mountain. I had the video camera rolling. Recorded my big 6'+ tall brother-in-law screaming like a banshee on the ride. Too funny.

Your brother is a character!

I was 14 years old last time I got out to Disney in California. I really want to get back there someday soon.

We enjoy the Blue Bayou when we are there, too. Glad to see you all had a wonderful time! Also loved Jorge's dis(ney)guise :)

I love Disneyland so much. I go there about 4 times a year. Thank goodness for annual passes! Looks like a great trip :)

I have to ask.. what is that thing you're eating in your surf and turf meal? Looks like a giant isopod. Do people actually eat those? The little ones crawl out from under rotten logs and into my pool. Very annoying. I've never considered them to be a source of food.
