September at Disneyland!

Hey there everyone!

There is just so much so tell! My recent trip to Disneyland was absolutely spectacular! Not only was it my annual "Agent Education Program", a requirement for my continued education with Disney. But I also celebrated my birthday!

My trip began with my flight to Orange County. My coach awaited- the Disneyland Express! Took me directly to Disney's beautiful Grand Californian! I checked in right away, to my awesome king room, overlooking the courtyard! Then proceeded to the Storyteller's Cafe downstairs. My favorite dish awaited... their famous 'corn chowder'! A perfect lunch before a quick trip into Disney's California Adventure Park. I was there of course to experience for the first time... "The Little Mermaid". It was truly adorable. But most important- wow- the animatronics! Huge advances since the days of "Mr. Lincoln" for sure! Loved this ride!

The days ahead were filled with learning, sites of hotels, and walking our bottoms off! But no company educates and keeps you interested like Disney!

My special, "magical moment", it happened in front of the outstanding new- "Star Tours- the adventure continues". Truly an amazing accomplishment! This ride has progressed from the once fun, and exciting ride to "Endor" (same one for 25 years!). To the now over the top choices of 54 different adventures! Anyway; I had ridden the ride the first time on Friday, ended up on Sunday having to wait for a very long time for my second adventure! Low and behold, after 50 minutes... the same tour! Leave it to me, 54 possibilities, and I get the same one twice!! So I asked the Cast Member out front of the ride, just what is the rotation, or method for selection. She explained it was truly random, and done by computer. I told her my story, and that I had stood for so long to see my second tour, only to have it repeated. At that moment, she pulled a "Fast Pass" from her pocket, and told me I should not have to wait... go now and enjoy! So I did! It was awesome and wonderful, and not the same tour! Such a wonderful thing, and I could not have been happier!

There is 'magic' everyday at Disney- you just have to believe!
