Disneyland at 54

This year has gone by quickly and I wanted to be sure to post some pictures from when Nicki and I visited the park last year for Disneyland's 54th Birthday on July 17, 2009.

It was a hot day and that kept the crowds down for a while

and so we spent a lot of time just taking pictures of things that caught our eye

The Matterhorn peeking out between buildings

Mickey flag on the train station

Someone lost their head in Adventureland

A castle squirrel

Nicki in the Firehouse
and a little Firehouse music

This one and the next one are inside the Emporium

It was so hot Nicki and I both bought hats

Resting

Inside Fantasyland

We were sitting down again and saw this sign, but it was to far away to read. So I took a picture of it and read it from the camera. The sign is in the next picture I think

Also in this picture there are two crows on the side of the Matterhorn. If you can't see them look at the next picture and those two little black spots are them.

Resting again and enjoying the view all around us

Happy Birthday Disneyland

"What's This?"

I thought I'd taken some photos of the "World of Color" that we saw in the sky over Disneyland on Monday, but all I have are videos! Boohoo! So I'll have to find something else to post a blog about from our trip. Hmmm... let's see. I'll play a game instead!

A Happy Romp

The start of another fun day!

 

   

 

We decided to see if the hotels pretty waterfalls were falling.
And they were!

So pretty.

It seems that you can’t walk down on the paths that go around and under them anymore(which sadly I have no memories of ever doing..) But they’re still very pretty to watch from above.

 

A

pretty gazebo by the Hotel.

 

 

Riding the Monorail in was such a fun and new experience!

I felt super spoiled!

   

 

The Autopia was crazy that day!

We saw this statue of two cars crashing and thought that that was what was gonna happen to us when we went around the next corner!! (heheh)

Luckily we made it and were able to watch Ben come in from his drive.

 

 

Pretty Matterhorn

 

 

Where does this tiny door go??

 

 

Its not quite as scary with the umbrella huh? hahah

 

 

 

A nice slow day.

 

 

When our ride on Splash Mountain ended we were asked if we’d like to stay on and ride it again. We were very tempted! But it was just too chilly that day and we had already become wet enough.

Darn!

 

 

Pretty evening time.

Mmmmmm Rocky Road~

  

We closed Zocalos while sitting under nice warm heaters and watching people ride Big Thunder.

We stumbled upon one the block party parades on our way to the Tiki Room. It was a fun sight, to be where it practically empty and see so much madness just a little ways away from you.

 

A fun day was had by all!
