My good friend, Dianne, wanted one thing for her birthday, a trip to Disneyland with our husbands and no kids. Her sweet husband granted that wish and last Friday the 4 of us went to Disneyland for the day.
We had so much fun just hanging out and going on fun rides and not doing parent swapping (where one gets to go on the fun rides while the other waits with the kids). We ate at Cafe Orleans for lunch. We sauntered around without strollers and weren't forced to deal with whiny children. We spent some of our time over in California Adventure on none of the kid rides except Toy Story. We went on the raft ride and I got soaked. It was the perfect day for the birthday girl.
That night we met up with some more friends, the Sadlier's, for dinner at Rainforest Cafe. We had good food and a lot of good laughs. After dinner we went back to Disneyland and watched the Halloween fireworks and went on the new Space Mountain. We had fast passes which were great because the line was 140 minutes long. It only took us 15 minutes to get through.
We came back exhausted, but happy and Dianne had her magical day. Gone are the days where we could open and close the park. We still manage to have fun in our "old" age.

It's like Disneyland is your new home....I can't believe how lucky you are to spend so much time there. Looks like you all had a great time.
Soo fun - if only every day were a Disney day! LOL!!
Great pics! It would be nice to live close enough to slow the pace down a bit!
