The happiest place on earth



I am so excited!! Two weeks from today I will be in Disneyland. We finally got our tickets and all the coupon stuff the other day so now it seems more real. We have early addmittance to the park on two of the days and a character breakfast for one of those. How fun will that be. I will be sure and post a picture of us with Mickey Mouse. Any characters you would like to see us with? Because you know I would be willing to do that for you. This will be Zachary's first time ever at Disneyland and he can hardly contain his excitement. (okay, maybe not but I am excited for both of us plus anyone one else who should be excited too.) Here is a bit of information that you may have not known about disneyland-
There is a whole crew just to dust the window sills on Main Street.
Among the first guests at Disneyland in 1955 was George Lucas (then 11) and his family.
Prior to opening day, Walt visited a few of the local churches and invited a handful of the best behaved children from the Sunday School classes to attend the opening day festivities.
Disneyland uses over 200,000 light bulbs per year costing over $100,000. Each light is replaced when it has reached 80% of its design life rather than when it fails.
If your Mickey balloon pops while in the park, Disneyland will replace it anywhere they sell balloons, even if you find a "dead" balloon in the park yourself, or bring an old one back inside.
Disneyland has its own "jail" where misbehaving guests and the such can be kept while Disneyland Security waits for Anaheim Police to come for them.

Approximately
28 tons of trash are collected during an average day.

You're right, I didn't know any of those Disney facts!
Are you gonna get Z to wear a mickey-ears hat while you're there? Although this trip can't replace a trip to France with us, I *do* hope y'all have a blast!! Who else is going with you??

You make it sound so fun! I have never been either. Maybe when we have kids it will give us an excuse to go and get our picture with Snow White!

The only Disneyland jail I have been to is the one with bendable bars, in toon-town.

Brenda, My wife let me get a picture with Alice, she was HOT!!!! Maybe Zach could go for Belle or Cinderella. Yes I think I would like to see a picture of Zach and Cinderella. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are also very photogenic. Jeremy

I want to see you with Alice, or Pochahontas or any of the characters from Aristocats. It sounds like you are going to have lots of fun though.
