Having heard a rumor that the parks were mostly dead, we decided to brave the Disneyland crowds on a summer weekend last Sunday. I have to say, we were very pleasantly surprised at how few people actually were there. We only waited in one line all day, which was 45 minutes long, for the new Toy Story Mania ride. Everything else we wanted to ride was less than a 10 minute wait, and several of them we went on multiple times! Granted, we don't do most of the "bigger" rides, but Colby & Brian did go on Indiana Jones and both thoroughly enjoyed it.
Of course, I couldn't get away without a few pictures. Okay, over 200 pictures, but c'mon... that's what digital cameras are for, right?! I won't bore you with all of them, but here are a few of my favorites.
The main Mouse himself
This is what happens when you have two tired boys and only one stroller
This young lady, who's been working at Disneyland for 29 1/2 years, freehandedly scissor-cuts silhouettes on the spot. It's really neat to watch.
And here's the finished product after all of us had a turn in her chair.
This is a new Tinkerbelle statue; she sprinkles pixie dust on the Mickey floral at the entrance- very pretty!
Colby's favorite ride
Green army men- fabulous!
A couple got engaged in front of the castle before the fireworks show; luckily they didn't get in the way of my photo. ;)
Happy brothers
