The weather was wonderful. It did get pretty cool after sundown.

Disneyland was sooo crowded it was almost impossible to walk. The California adventure was not quite so crowded but still way too many people. We should have stayed at visited Disneyland on Thanksgiving. LOL

Most of the rides had long lines with at least a 40 minute wait. Marissa didn't get to ride too many times. She rode that Matterhorn, rode the nothing boat and went on the little kid airplanes. She did some shopping and saw several Disney characters.

We watched the Christmas parade twice ... once during daylight and once after the sun went down. We watched the fireworks from our hotel. They were awesome.

The second day, we went to California Adventure. There, we watched a show, she hugged Pluto and we ate dinner at one of the restaurants. Marissa rode the big roller coaster 3 times. There was another ride she wanted to take but the line was at least a 90 minutes wait. We watched another parade.

If you go, do not go when school is on vacation or holiday.

One on MrJust’s nephews spent one day with us. Went to dinner and the mall.

We all had a great time.

How about a link to Mannheim Steamroller?

Sounds like you had a good time, but I do wish they would limit the amount of people they let in. You paid the same amount that people pay when there are fewer crowds but still had long waits for rides. I know it would be disappointing to find out that the park was closed due to too many people, but it is almost more disappointing to pay to get in and not be able to enjoy the park because of long lines at the rides. Maybe they should take reservations? I don't know.

Yes, I will find a graphic and a link to some Mannheim Steamroller. I am internet Christmas shopping on Amazon today, but it's time for a break. BTW, need an inexpensive and very cool gift? Do a search on Amazon for "recipe rock". I am getting one for almost everyone on my Christmas list as a stocking stuffer. The guys can use it on their office desks and the women in the kitchen (I know, I am stereotyping - don't care, LOL.)

Next, we (the dogs and I) are going to decorate the tree and get the house all Christmasy. "Killion's Bed and Breakfast" is expecting to be very busy in December. LOL. I enjoy having holiday company, but I have so much to do!!
