Disney Date Night

"Greetings from California"
Lyle and I decided to go to Disneyland for our date night last night. We ate dinner in California Adventure at that place called the Farmer's Market. We had their California Wraps. Tasty. We encountered this little cat while we were eating. He was very friendly, but didn't like being touched much. We speculated who he belonged to and how he got in and out of the park.

The parks were both decorated for the holidays. It was really beautiful. And the weather was nice, albeit cold. This shot was taken from Paradise Pier.

We decided to ride a few rides. This photo proves that we rode California Screamin'. Dad looked to the side while we went through the loop and said it was awesome. (I closed my eyes!)

Our "cage-mates" on the Ferris Wheel were kind enough to take our picture. It's a gorgeous view from the top at night.

The view of the Ferris Wheel from the waiting line. Cool, huh?

I took this photo of Dad in front of Soaring Over California. We both love this ride and take it every time we come into CA.

After that we left California Adventure we walked over to Disneyland. This is in front of the big Christmas tree in the front plaza. You get what you can when someone else takes your picture. With any night shot, you have to hold the camera real still. This shot is a little blurry.

When we came into Disneyland, it was around 9:00 and people were already sitting down for the fireworks. They also had closed off the castle for the fireworks. It was so beautiful, though, that we made our way over there and I attempted to take pictures. This is the least blurry of the bunch. It was gorgeous, though.

We made our way over to Indiana Jones, but the standby line was too long. They were showing Fantasmic, though, so we squeezed in behind a lot of other people. I didn't see a lot, but held my Flip video camera up and recorded most of it. We were not close (we were up on the bridge) so the videos are only so-so, but it was fun, anyway. After that, we rode Pirates of the Caribbean where there was no line. It was good to sit down. We ended the evening with a walk back over to the castle and I took this video. Enjoy. We sure did...and it only cost us the price of a quick dinner. Love it!
