my friend val and myself decided to dress alike for the day. partly so we don't lose each other amongst the summer crowd, but mostly for the silliness. red american apparel skirts, so we looked like minnie, matching mouse ears included.
i still get the tingles of excitement as i go through the turnstile entrance. little has changed, although johnny depp has been added to the cast of the pirates ride (teeheehee). but the dry sarcasm of the jungle ride hosts, the hitch hiking ghosts at the end of the haunted mansion, the thrill of space mountain! its all there, thank god. it even smells the same: chlorinated water, cotton candy and sunscreen...as i get older the design aspects are what i am drawn to rather than over-sized plush toys. especially the old attraction posters hanging int he tunnels on your way to main street from the entrance. val found some online at MouseShoppe for $42.
can you imagine how much thought goes into a new ride? not just the ride itself, but the line you stand in to get to it?? all these dioramas, statues, buttons to push. not to mention how immaculate the landscaping is kept, and how there is NO garbage on the ground. the park was open until midnight, which we took full advantage of. i went on pirates twice. its really the perfect mini-vacation...
