top 10 in october

So, of course, our Disneyland trip was absolutely amazing! I think the only thing better than combining Halloween and Disneyland is combining Christmas and Disneyland! I think it gets better and better every time I go. Here are my Top 10 from the trip:

1. Going with Zac. The last time we were at Disneyland together we looked like this... 

And the time before that, we looked like this... 

Pretty good eh? It was so great spending time with him. Since he lives in Seattle, we don't get to see each other a lot. Good times were certainly had. Zac receives the prestigious award of "Fast Pass Runner", there were many others up for it, but he went above and beyond and he definitely deserves it. So Zac, Congratulations!

2. Watching Staci re-discover the magic of Disneyland. She hadn't been for about 12 years or so. I especially loved her encounter with Pluto (there was a previous blog post documenting the event). Disneyland certainly brings out the child in all of us.

Minnie, Curtis and Stace at breakfast.

Me and Stace with our ears...oh and Zac's head. Nice.

3. Meeting Jack and Sally. That's right! I actually met Jack Skellington and Sally! It was incredible! 

4. Making more magical memories with Curtis. This was our 3rd trip to Disneyland together and I never get tired of seeing his inner child come out (even more than usual), especially his excitement about seeing the monorail and his disappointment when we couldn't ride in the front. 

5. Getting absolutely soaked on Splash Mountain! It was hot! Unseasonably hot, so Splash Mountain was very popular. One day, we rode it 3 times. 

This was our 1st trip down Chickapin Hill and Curt got some good footage. Even when it's too dark to see anything, I love hearing us scream and yell when we get soaked.

 

6. All the characters dressed up for Halloween!

7. Zac carrying Eeyore around and giving "first person" accounts of what Eeyore thought of different rides and attractions. The voice was perfect, I wish we'd got it on video. 

Eeyore was the only character that Zac really wanted to get a picture with so at Minnie's breakfast we hunted him down. 

8. Seeing the whole park decked out for Halloween! Everything was super fantastic!

Me and Curt with the great Mickey pumpkin.

The Haunted Holiday Mansion.

Me and Stace on Main Street USA.

9. While waiting in line for Peter Pan and Mr. Toads Wild Ride I asked an interesting question and, although everyone gave a great answer, Zac's response was my absolute favorite.

 

10. And last, but certainly not least. Curtis and I upgraded to annual passes! That's right! We are annual passholders to the happiest place on earth! So of course we're planning a couple more trips within the next year. All my dreams really can come true.

Thanks to Curtis, Zac and Staci for making this Disneyland trip a magical memory.
