Going to Disneyland for the weekend was totally a good way to end July. You all know how messed up it was for me not to go how many times because of the crap that would happen to me.

DAY 1: We went to Peter's for the night to visit him and figured that we'd go to the park from his place. It's always fun visiting Peter. We all ended up sleeping late. Peter had to wake up early because he had work that day and RnL slept in a little. I stayed up because I was so excited to go. HA. I felt like such a little kid. RnL woke up a little late and we left a little later than we had liked, but it didn't really matter. Arnell had 2 day park-hoppers for the both of us so I knew that we had plenty of time to do what we wanted to do.

We got there at about 1 pm and after parking and the tram ride we were at the gates by 1:20. I was so excited! I was going to be walking down main street with Arnell for the first time. THe line wasn't long so we walked over to the gate. I hand my ticket to the attendant with a smile and I was ready to start the day. The ticket machine made a sad noise and the attendant looks at me and says, "Um, these tickets are expired. They've been used twice already." My eyes widened. I didn't know that my Aunt gave us the tickets...so apparently no one knew that they were janky tickets.

I knew it. Why would Disneyland want to take me in? It's worked so hard to keep me out for 2 years and now I'm at the gate and access was DENIED. I was CRUSHED. We ended up having to get in line and buy tickets at the booth. I was so sad and frustrated. I could see the concern in Arnell's face. He decided to buy me a 2 day hopper while he got himself a Premium Pass.

We finally get in the park and the first thing we decided to do was Space Mountain. We grabbed some fast passes and decided to wait in line. It was about a 60 minute wait. About 40 minutes into the line we were told that there were some "technical difiiculties" and they weren't sure how long it would take to get back up. I was disspointed once again. Strike two.

Arnell decided to stay in line just in case. I figured that we stayed in line that long and we might as well go for it. 95% of the people left so we were pretty much in the front of the line. About another hour later, we were issued re-entry passes that would be good anytime the ride is open that day. So, we ended up with 2 passes, one for anytime we wanted and another late at night.

It was a really frustrating day after that though. We wanted to try different rides, but everytime I suggested it, the ride would break down...or the line would be WAAAY too long.

We decided to ditch the main park and hit up California Adventure instead. It was less crowded and at least the Tower of Terror would be open. Let me tell you that the Tower was off the hook. It scared the crap outta me...it shows in the first picture that we took. haha. We had a great lunch and rode the Maliboomer and Mullholland Madness. We spent most of the day at DCA.

We closed the night off doing Space Mountain twice and watching Fantasmic! He knew that it was my favorite show and we waited for it, so we had super awesome seats.

DAY 2: After some convincing, we got Peter to join us this time. The first thing we did was get some fast passes for Space Mountain. ha. We went to innoventions to see all the goodies. Peter whined, "Aww, I wanna see ASIMO." Lieterally, the moment he finished that statement, an attendant for the ASIMO theater came up to us and asked if we wanted to see the ASIMO show because it was going to start in 5 minutes and he had extra spots. We didn't hesitate to accept. The show was so cute and it made me want an ASIMO. hahaha. We were farting around the buidling and then we decided to play with the Interactive Stitch. I was surprised to see Maw Maw John and Mark Cow! I had no idea that they were there and surprised us at Innoventions. It just made that day so much more fun. That interactive stitch was the cutest thing. hahaha.

We all enjoyed the day, but we all decided to close the night off with some fireworks. We staked a place in front of the castle and waited for 90 minutes. It was totally worth it. I've never seen the fireworks in front of the castle before. I've always wanted to see it. The show was fucking awesome and the damn thing got me all teary eyed. I loved it.

:::::::::::::::::

I'm so grateful that Arnell took me to DLR and DCA. I feel like the luckiest boy in the world. I had a great time with my boyfriend and my best friends. I'll never forget all the good times. I love you guys. I love you Arnell. I love my gold ears and my stitch mits! haha.

Remember the Magic. Yeah, I'm sure I will. *sigh*
