Disneyland- The happiest place on earth

This is no joke, Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. At least it is officially my happiest place. Here we are, the first day of our trip. Me, Grace, and McCade's first time to Disneyland. Our first day we got to the park EARLY (6:30ish.) The weather was beautiful, we couldn't have asked for a better day. Sunshine, slight breeze, mid 70's. We hit all of Fantasyland (rides geared more for the younger rider) the first half of the day. We were way ahead of schedule (a special thanks to Val and Tami for booking the trip and showing us the ropes.) I won't bore you with every last detail of our trip. (Because believe me, I could go on and on and on.) I will just hit the highs and lows. There were a few times when I wondered what in the heck we were doing with all those people. (So much for the theory that it would be less busy in October.) But after the second day we started getting more into the flow, by the 5th day, I never wanted to leave. One of the best things about going with Val and Tami is they are practically experts. Just when we were hot, tired etc. We would go to a show or eat, sit in the air conditioning and come out refreshed and ready to...get in line. Strangely, I actually kind of liked the lines by the end. It gave us a chance to get out of the throng, have a little snack, visit, and never be disappointed with the ride at the end of the line. The bottom line... we can't wait to go back. We drove to Salt Lake the first night of our trip to save some time. Matt got us some sweet rooms at the Grand. When we went to Val and Tami's room before going swimming Val answered the door in a robe. It was pretty hilarious, he was trying to get the slippers on but wasn't fast enough. The next morning we set out for Anaheim.
