We're going to Disneyland!

It's true folks. Our plane tickets are paid for, and the first week of September, Lauren and I are flying out west. It is the first trip to Disneyland for both of us. This is my farthest trip out west ever. On top of that, its my first time on an airplane in the last 5 years. The fact that I started watching LOST and it is one of my favorite shows of all time, doesn't help my recent "fear" of flying. Well, I'm not really scared of flying at all. In fact, I enjoy flying and the brief detachment from the planet Earth. It's the crashing I am afraid of. Putting that out of my mind, I really can't wait for this trip!

I've been going to WDW since I was a wee kid, so the opportunity to go to the place that started it all is going to be an amazing experience. We are going as complete ignorant tourists, without any major kind of spoiler knowledge at all. I've seen videos years ago, before the realization of an actual trip has been made, but can't really remember any specific details. We do know we will get there in time to ride The Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain before they go down for refurb. And that is a big relief. I was afraid we were going to miss Haunted Mansion because of the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay, I had no idea Space Mountain was going down as well.

We are also going to be there in time for the D23 expo. As of this time, neither myself, or Lauren are members of D23, but I'd be curious to see what all the fuss is about. And so would Magic City Mayhem cameras for that matter.

But the major reason of our visit out west...it is going to be Laurens birthday!! On the day of, she will be getting her princess make over at the Bibbiddi Bobbiddi Boutique(sp?) bright and early at 10am, spend the day in the parks, then probably have a night out the town in LA.

I'm going to really try to keep updating the blog as we get closer and closer to the trip. You can also follow me on twitter @justmikeyhrc. Hope everyone is being safe.

See ya in the parks!
