So when I got the e-mail from our friends asking ‘hey you wanna go to D-land for a few hours on Sunday?’ and I replied ‘Sure!’…do you think I realized the park opened at 6:30 AM? Apparently some girl named Miley Cyrus was having a birthday party there that night-so they were closing the park early to kick out the riff raff like us at 5:00pm. And for some reason they compensated by opening the park at the ungodly hour of 6:30 AM. Here is a little picture of the decked out for Halloween main street when we ARRIVED. Make note of the DARKNESS people…..and for some reason that I find BOGGLING it is nearly impossible to get a cup of coffee in Disneyland. Maybe Walt had some issues with caffeine? No wait- I can buy a COKE at 6:30 AM just not coffee. Go figure.
So there we were. Sleepy but ready for the day. We are near professionals when it comes to navigating the park. And our friends are also LONG time experts. We move seamlessly through out the park together. We become the A-team of the Disney visit. We synchronize our watches. Turn on our cell phones and have at it. We can tell you were every bathroom (clue for post below!), churro vendor and restaurant is in the park. Buy 10:00 we had done ‘everything’. (Term used loosely since we mean the ‘major’ rides. We save stuff like Tiki room which never have a line for the mid-summer days when it is really too crowed to get on any ride). Plus we were growing tired of all the purple and pink decorations put up for this Miley girls sweet 16. So we 
all headed over to California Adventure for its 10:00 opening. Did you know Disney does a thing called Gay Days? Um, yeah well it DOES. (not that there is anything wrong with that) And today was THE DAY. After answering lots and lots of questions from my youngest and literally begging him not to point/laugh/stare every time a couple walked by….we were able to conquer a lot of what California Adventure had to offer as well. But the best ride of the day? The ride home. That’s when Tucker decided he still had lots and LOTS of unanswered questions. Including the favorite “Was Mickey Mouse gay?”…to which I replied “no honey he is a cartoon.” And then my proof that cliche and stereotypes start YOUNG he said “but he talks funny. I think he is gay”. So thank you Disney. Actually I am gonna blame all of this on that Miley Cyrus girl. It is all HER fault….
