Disneyland!

This weekend I was lucky enough to spend time at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland. As always, I had a rockin time, and since we were there for 13 hours (!), we were able to go on pretty much every ride, so that was fun. We didn't remember to bring a camera, so no photos this time, which sucks as I was really hoping to get more pics with the non-costumed cast, as I seem to have lost the disposable camera full of the pics from my last trip.

Some trip highlights:"Great Moments with Mr Lincoln" was a lot more political than I remembered it being in past years, but I always get distracted by how creepy it is when he moves to really notice what is being said. His speech on liberty felt very preachy on the part of the Disney staff who chose it, but I guess I can't complain, as they're working with limited material and all.



We had two rides break down right before we were going to ride them- Peter Pan and Snow White. For most people this would be annoying, to wait in line half an hour only for the ride to break down on you, but I figured this was just the balancing out of the cosmos, as we were able to get on Space Mountain and Star Tours with no lines at all, which is kind of a Disney miracle.

Disneyland needs to stop charging so much for food. When we finally got too hungry to live off of our smuggled in snacks, we went and found one of the only vegetarian options at the park- $12 plates of pasta. PASTA! This is horrid, especially when you remember that you can get two medium pizzas at Dominos for $12. The pasta was nowhere near as satisfying as two pizzas.

There were Indian people EVERYWHERE at the park this weekend. My mom and I kept trying to speculate as to why there were so many Desi families present, with my mom concluding that in 30 years time America will be known as "Gandhiland", as she feels so many people are migrating in. I told her that she should feel lucky that I'll most likely be marrying a Desi boy then, as she'll have an inside access to the future American majority. I don't know what she felt about that.

All in all, I think it's safe to say that the magic of Disneyland still remains for this child at heart, and I can't wait to take others to experience the Disney magic.
