Me and my friends have a mutual love for Disneyland and it just works because Matt went one time this summer and he was good....not me though! 3 times wasn't even enough!
See, I have been going to Disneyland every year since I was a little girl. We would go with our second family, the Bennetts, whom I completely adore. We would look forward to it all year! We were that family... We always were first in line and had to get up REALLY early so we could beat the traffic and get there right when it opened and stay till they kicked us out when it closed. There were only 2 days out of the whole year when I was stoked to wake up early, Christmas, and the day we were going to Disneyland. Carson and I would literally pop right out of bed! From the second we arrived to the time we left, we wasted no time! We knew fast pass times, locations, and the quickest most effective route to every ride. We would have our day perfectly mapped out so we didn't miss a thing! I have memories of my "big sister", Kris, basically wrapping her feet in duct tape to prevent blisters because we would power walk from place to place, it was no joke! We always got a good laugh at how quickly we would move. I remember one year when I was a little older and could keep up with the pace of things, Melodie turned to me and said "dang Brittany, you're right here keeping up so well!" I remember I couldn't help but be really proud of myself :) haha
I have to tell another funny story really quick. One year we were on the grizzly rapids ride in California Adventure and near the end there is this huge blowhole. You never know when its going to blow, and one time it came right over our raft and basically landed all on Bart, drenching him from head to toe. His hair was completely matted down on his head, there wasn't a patch of dry clothing, and his glasses were dripping water. I just remember thinking it was the funniest thing I had ever witnessed in my whole life! hahaha!
So there's a little bit of why I love it so much and why I am always so happy when I go!
One of my really close friends, Stacey, came up from Newbury Park, and Viv decided to come last minute. We had the best time and will argue that we know how to do Disneyland better than anyone else on the planet. We got a special pass that let us cut the lines because we know someone that works there! We started off at Disneyland and spent a lot of time there going on all the bests... we captured some super attractive pictures of ourselves on the rides too............ha!

I kind of feel like a granny for saying this, but we were rided out by the end of the day and were even feeling a little dizzy. I finally understand how the adults felt all those years after asking them to go on roller coasters again and again... so we decided to have dinner on the pier and stay for the World of Color show!
