It was a magical occasion indeed when May and I got to head down south to the Golden state for a little sunshine, celebration, and Mickey Mouse. It was the most recent in a string of 60
th birthday bashes for Jim Melehan, who invited the whole extended Melehan clan down to Disneyland to be kids for a weekend. It had been about 10 years since last I peed my pants at the Haunted Mansion and I was excited to relive those happy memories I had had with my grandma and grandpa who took me and my sister to Disneyland when we were kids. It was a blast hanging with the Melehans. They take their Disneyland pretty seriously. There are several rules I learned:
1. Fast Passes!!! The fast pass is your life, your love, and the only thing keeping you from going mad in a infinite line.
2. California Adventures serves beer. Enough said.
3. This isn't 'nam, if family members are lagging, it's acceptable to leave them behind. If you can't keep up, get the #$@! out of Disneyland grandma.
Splash mountain reveals things about people. Scary things. Zippity do da.
Laser Man. The coolest thing in all of Disneyland. And I missed him.
Say hello to my little friend. Look closer.
The other amazing thing we got to partake in ye old Medieval Times. If you have never been to this delightful palace of knights and mutton you need to go. It's awesome. Chivalrous (and not so chivalrous) knights battle it out for the crowds applause while you tear into meat with your hands and teeth. Wenches serve you frosty mead and you get to wear these adorable hats. We were cheering for the green knight who was the most bad ass knight in all of Anaheim. Unfortunately, he turned out to be an evil knight, intent on taking the thrown from the goodly king - spoiler alert. Clearly, evil cannot win within 50 miles of Disneyland and our tragic hero was slain before our eyes. Goodnight, sweet prince. Goodnight.
Green knight. What up?!
