Ok, I'm officially the last person in my Family who hasn't been to a Disney Park since our trip when I was 14. My mom was first, when she went to a computer programmers convention down at WDW when I was 18, then my brother went down twice this past year, and now my mum and father both just went to Disneyland. I didn't even know they were going!!! Mom went to another convention, this time in San Diego, and my father went to join her a week later, so they could have a west coast vacation for a week out in San Diego, and mom wouldn't have to pay plane fare since she had a round trip ticket from work for the convention. Apparently they drove up to Disneyland for the day one of those days.
Thanks to ya'll out at Disneyland for giving them a great time. They were just brimming about it when they came back, although they went on a weekday, so there was no fireworks. (They weren't complaning, I just asked if they saw Tink's DL flight as I hear it's much different than MK's and they said no.)
They didn't go into alot of detail, marveling at how Star Tours was in tomorow land due to the lack of an MGM, and of course the inevitable comment about the smaller castle. They didn't see any of the cats or eat any churros (I asked.) They didn't even know what Dole Whip was, which makes me sad, since they missed a real chance with that, seeing as how I've never seen that stuff on the East Coast. The longest line they had to deal with was for the Nemo Subs... no surprise there. My mother says she suspects they had someone other than Ellen Degeneres do the voice of Dory on that... does anyone know about that?
Apparently my father loved the Indiana Jones ride so much, that he dragged my mother back on two more times since the line was shortish at that time... throwing off her precious time table, which was apparently worth it to her to see him that happy.
Oh... and mom said Small World was closed for some kind of Holiday preparation... it seems a bit soon to be putting on Christmas decorations... are they taking them off now, or do they do some other holiday, or is my mum just reading signs badly?
I'm jealous now, since by the time I get to WDW this fall it will have been 10 years since I went in Summer 98.
