Off Track! Let's Go to Disneyland!!

Yesterday was Hannah's 1st day off track, and what better way to celebrate than a trip to Disneyland with friends who are also track in addition to being friends from church! Double bonus! We left our house shortly after 8:00, and by the time we got into the park, it was after 9:30.

Because of the Veteran's Holiday, a lot of people got a four day weekend, so we anticipated the park being crowded today, and it was, but it wasn't too bad if you utilized Fastpass and kept on top of getting new ones when it came time to. There were a lot of characters out on Main Street when we first arrived. Generally you see more characters out on busy, busy days. About mid afternoon, as we were getting off Big Thunder Mountain, I spotted a Disney Escort Cast Member. Typically, if you know what Cast Member to be looking for, when scene, they more than likely are escorting some VIP around the park. And in this case, it was a young girl. I asked Hannah if the girl was the girl from the new hit Disney Channel show, Suite Life on Deck, and she confirmed it was. There was a girl in front of us that overheard me saying that, and they went and asked for a picture with her. So then I grabbed my camera and my girls and asked if she wouldn't mind just one more picture and she was so sweet and kind and said she'd love to. Hannah was sooo excited! n the early evening, Steven and some more friends from church joined us for an evening of fun. We continued taking advantage of the Fastpasses we'd gotten earlier and riding rides with short wait times. We ended up watching Fantasmic, which is always great to see. We didn't leave the park until almost closing, which was midnight. Therefore the girls and I spent 15 hours at The Happiest Place on Earth. We had a great day and did a lot, and today, we're tired.
