Just in time for the beginning of Disneyland’s wonderful Christmas holiday season my 2 girlfriends Jill and Karen and I headed out for a fun filled evening at Disneyland. It started out with a light dinner at a Downtown Disney resturant. So light in fact that the bartender gave Jill all the booze from my margarita, so unimpressive in that I had to round up our silverware, and so entertaining in that someone set off the fire alarm and everyone had to be evicted from the restaurant (we were unaffected as we sat on the outside patio). Thus started our evening out.

And no, Karen is not drunk, or at least I don’t think she was. She just has a thing for camera’s….errrrr I mean flashes. She is working on it! No worries Karen.

A little later on in the evening we had our photo taken under Disneyland’s first artifical Christmas tree. And a huge and beautiful one it is. But seriously, who cares about that, check out Karen. Her eyes are open! Karen, we are so proud of you!

We lucked out and walked right into the park when Disney’s Christmas parade was coming down Main Street. There are so many fun characters to see and photos to take and people to move around…oh my dear!

Prince Charming and Cinderella can dance the day away….oh stop my heart from pitter patting. I do love Disney so!

Sleeping Beauty’s Castle shown bright with lights and colors like you wouldn’t believe! We stood around for quite some time and stared at it in amazement, taking photos in hopes of capturing some of the magic. If you’ve never seen the fireworks display at Disneyland I certainly recommend it as it is something you will never forget. Simply spectacular!

I think my favorite colors the castle displays throughout the entire evening even during the fireworks is this gorgeous pink glow. Isn’t pink one of a girl’s favorite colors?

At the end of the fireworks show during the Christmas holidays it snows! The music and snow are piped out over the airways around the castle and the Disney magic lives on!

Another stumble and we walked into Fantasmic coming around the bend at Pirate’s Island. Way cool for words. Water jets sent up into the air and loud music may make this show too much for a lot of kids under the age of maybe 7, but for adults it is just plain impressive.

We moved on to join in the amazement and joy of It’s A Small World’s new lights display set to music. Wow! Jill took a video of it which I hope to post at some point. Disneyland also did work on the canals on this ride but this part takes the cake. So very impressive Disney!

Last but certainly never least was Andrew. A inventive young man who made this one of a kind Christmas celebratory hat. Wish I’d snapped a photo of his face, or better yet blogged about him sooner so he could have gotten his 15 minutes of fame, as he did ask what my website was when I told him I was going to blog about his cool hat! And that, my friends is what Disneyland is all about! At least on this trip!
