#2 Disneyland Trip 2008
The family celebrated New Year's Eve by seeing Cirque Du Soleil, "Mystere" in Las Vegas. We then headed to Cali. for our annual Disney trip.

There were 18 of us on this trip this year, with both sides

of my family taking part in the fun. (Obviously, not

all pictured) On this particular day, my poor sister was back

in the hotel sicker than a dog.

One of our favorite rides...Pirates of the Caribbean

One of the last pictures I got before my camera broke. Uug!

Luckily we realized our video camera has a photo option. Me

without a camera in Disney is like a fish out of water.

Our second day there Grandpa got approached from one of the "dream team" staff members. We were lucky enough to get reserved seating for Fantasmic and the holiday fireworks and snow. It was magical!

One of my favorite memories was seeing the castle lit up

with the holiday decorations.....

Cousin Allie and Kyleigh, with Uncle Braden and his

girlfriend, Liz, waiting in line (which we did a lot of this trip.)

We think we'll keep to our mid January time schedule,

as we've done in previous years, instead of going over the

holidays. We can say we've experienced the holiday

decorations at least once, but that was the first and last time!



Watching the Evil Queen appear in the window of Snow

White's castle every few seconds helped entertain Brie as

we waited and WAITED to ride the Peter Pan ride.

Cousin Allie's thoughts on how crowded the park

was. We believe the park reached its capacity

one of the days we were there. I wouldn't be

surprised if this particular day was THAT day.

I found this moment quite funny!

Waiting to ride Splash Mountain...

Waiting to ride Indiana Jones.....

On Thunder Mountain.....

Emma and Kyleigh on Screamer with Uncle Louis and

Grandpa.

Tomorrow Land.....

Hannah and Emma with Uncle Ryan

We found this little section of the park with hardly any people, pretty darn hard to find on this trip. I had to get on video Uncle Dave's and Jaren's thoughts on the crowded park. This pretty much sums up how we felt about this year's trip.
