Today was my mom's Birthday. We went to Disneyland to celebrate ^_^.

It was really fun. Teresa and I went on every ride (that was worth it) in just that one day.

Here is a copy of the list and the rides that we did and didnt ride.
It will either have an X saying that we didn't ride it or a number. The number that is first is the order of when we did it.

*Our Grand Disneyland Adventure*

Tomorrowland
X 1. Astro Orbitor. This ride was shut down for remodeling. We were going to replace it with going to the innoventions thing.. but didn't have time.
4. 2. Autopia
2. 3. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
20. 4. Disneyland Monorail

Park hours were 9am to 9pm. Normally the park is open until midnight but this night was grandnight and so the park closed early.

So the plan was to run as the park opened and go to peter pan. This is one of the only rides that I haven't been on so I really wanted to ride it. I had rode 'the ride' but it was set up for the E.T. movie when I was 7 so I really didn't ride 'the ride'. The peter pan ride is known for its incredable long line all day. So we rode this ride and then went over to the astro blasters after getting fast passes for space mountain. Star Tours was right there and so we rode it and then we thought that it would be good to do Autopia. Mom and Jen took a smoke break which was kind of sad because to be able to ride everything we needed to keep up the 3 rides a hour minimum. That ended up being a long ride but it was ok because then we ran to space mountain. At this time we still were with My mom, my sister Valerie and my cousin Jen. After space it was the movie honey I shrunk the audience. My mom and Jen needed to Smoke and so we went and rode the Mad Tea party which didn't have that long of a ride. Then it was time to head over to the other side of the park and we took the rail road to cut time.

We sat down and had lunch and Teresa and I ran and got Splash Mountian fast passes. After a lunch mom and Jen had to smoke AGAIN so we rode the rafts to Tom Sawyer Island. We ran around it and then went back over and got in line with our fast passes for Splash Mountain. Now... this ride scares the crap out of me because of the last time that I rode it, which was when I was 7. Yeah... Ended up being great ^_^. This is when we heard that the rest of my family was in the park so we called them over to the Hunted Mansion to use Grandpa as a fast pass.

If you ever don't want to wait in line for ANYTHING in Disneyland (not California adventure) Then go to the park with some one in a wheel chair.
After that we used him again for Pirates of the caribbean. Then it was on to use him again for the Jungle Cruise. The 'skipper' that we had was really funny and great. This is when Mom and everyone else lost heart for the challenge and told Teresa and I to go off on our own. So we did.

I had crossed the Tiki room off my list at first but this ended up being the first thing that Teresa and I did together. Then we went and did the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough. Another thing that I had never done. It was great. Then Pinocchio's Daring Journey, King Arthur Carrousel, Gadget's Go Coaster. After a really small line for its a small world we walked back over to check the line for the nemo ride. Still being really long we looked over and saw that something was being set up where the Jedi Training Academy was held at. I went up to ask this Guy what was going on.
Me- "Whats going on here?"
Him (as he reaches out and grabs my Camera) - "Have you heard of Mitchel Musso?"
Me -"uh...... no?"
Him - "well he is having a concert here." (takes a picture of himself)
Me- "oh... umm... ok."

Yeah... that was really weird.
So Disneyland was starting a new summer thing the next night with new fireworks and everything. I guess that they will be having a dance party thing everything too which is where the concert was at. I was bummed because I wanted ot see the new fireworks which were the day AFTER we were there. T_T yeah.

Teresa and I rode the Disneyland Monorail marking the 20th ride that day. We took our fast passes that we had got when we went on the Go coaster and rode the Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin. Then more fast passes that were got after the Jungle cruise to ride Indiana Jones Adventure. Even though we had fast passes there was a long line. T_T but in line we saw that people had passes that said 'single rider' on them. After asking someone they said that you could get them from the person outside. So we ended up getting some of them and rode this ride twice (even though we both REALLY had to pee). Big thunder mountain railroad with fast passes and then we headed over to the nemo ride. On the way Teresa swore that she saw Selena Gomez on top of this roof top. Yeah.. I didn't know if it was her or not.

The line was still as long as ever but we got into it. Right after I took my phone out and saw that my mom had tried to call me so I called her.
She tells me that they are getting on to the nemo ride with Grandpa. So we get out of line to try and go with them.
But then she says that they are getting on right then. So Teresa and I wait for them to get off and we ask Grandpa if he would do it again. He says no of course so Teresa and I have to get back into the huge line.
While waiting for what seemed like forever the concert started. Yeah... not all that great. FINALLY we got onto the ride and sat down. It was worth the wait but wasted so much time. I have the whole thing on video.
As we got out of the ride mom called and told us that they were in line for us at our last ride, the Matterhorn Bodsleds. That was really nice.
We rode the final ride and then went to try and get a good spot for the fire works.
On the way people started to shove us out of the way and I don't really know what all happened but then Slena walked right past us with her friend from her show. Yeah... Teresa was right. ^_^

Met up with the family and got ready for the fireworks. We find out that they would be premiering the new fireworks that night. I was so happy. I recorded the whole thing ^__^.

The park closed and the day ended. It was great but I don't think that I will try that again unless I have really commited people with me. ^_^ Bribing might be nice too. xD
