Who knew that going into 2012 I would visit both Disneyland and Disney World before the year was half over? Not even me!
My first Disney visit just happened to coincide with the Flegalheimers family adventure. I was scheduled to go to work in LA and voila, they just happened to be going to Disneyland while I was out there. So of course I had to spend the day with them!
I was a cool misty day but that didn't stop us from riding Grizzly Rapids twice in a row.

| Who is wet? We all are! |
Eliza thought it was the MOST fun and didn't mind being wet. I didn't mind either, until a lovely little cold came by to visit. Nothing like being in wet jeans in 60 degree weather.. but we had a blast!
It was so much fun to see their faces as they plummeted in Tower of Terror. I looked over at Eliza as we dropped and her hair seemed to float in space.
My second trip was with a bunch of friends from Atlanta and Orlando.

Thankfully this time it was HOT HOT HOT. So hot we had to keep escaping the scorching sunshine into anywhere that had air conditioning.

| Hello Mickey! |
I have to say the most memorable ride for me was Splash Mountain. As you go along you keep seeing signs for briar rabbits laughing place. I was reminded of Grandma Helen and her laughing place. Sure it was no Kauai, but it was the memory of her, and the story of briar rabbit, the song of the south and all that. Its nice that there are things in life that remind us of those that are gone.
