Disneyland Continued

Yay, now that you have some random pictures I will tell you more about Disney until my battery dies.
     So, we were headed to the Magic Kingdom part of the park and it was almost 1500 so we were starving and decided to go to their version of Tomorrowland to get some food.  That is until Sarah says, "Guys, guys....five minute wait for Space Mountain: Mission 2!"  To which I promptly responded, "Go, Go, Go!!!"  Needless to say we held off lunch for a bit in order to ride :)  Mission 2 was much better than the one in Florida--it started at the bottom and you blasted to the top before riding down through the mountain.  It went faster and had more loops and upside-down turns and Sarah and I literally walked right onto the fist row and it was so dark in the mountain that we couldn't see a thing!  I was so excited!  So after that was accomplished we did get some lunch and then went to Frontierland and Adventureland.
    We rode the Pirates of the Caribbean, Phantom Manor, and walked through Indian Village from Pocahontas.  We also got lost in Adventure Island--which is way better than the tree house in Florida.  We went through Skull Rock, Hooks ship, Peg Leg Point and Spyglass Hill from my favorite: Peter Pan, walked through the caves of Pirates (Dead Man's Chest cave and Davey Jones Locker), and went up into Robinson Curuso's (SP?) tree house.  Two rides were temporarily acting up due to rain so we went to Fantasyland for a bit and rode the carousel, Peter Pan (love him!) and It's A Small World.  Then, we decided that since we were close we should go check out Space Mountain again.  Surprise, surprise--there was only a five minute line AGAIN.  We figured that no one would believe us so Sarah took a video of us literally walking right up to the train for proof--I'll show you later if you don't believe me :)
    After riding Space Mountain again we headed back to Adventureland to hit up Big Thunder Mountain and the Indiana Jones ride that we totally need to have in Florida--it was a cool roller coaster that was (obviously) Indiana Jones themed.  Back to Big Thunder Mountain though, the coasters line was on the main part of the park but the actual track was on an island so the first part of the coaster takes you under the lake and shoots you up the middle of the island before you take the track all around it in a crazy mish-mashed pattern.
     After all of the rides had been checked off of our list it was time for the fireworks show which was--again--much cooler than Florida.  The entire castle is turned into a screen of sorts and there are a series of mini stories that have characters from multiple movies that move around the castle.  All the while music is blaring, lasers are spinning all over the place, fireworks are going off, the fountains are spraying up water and the occasional blow torch is going off--it was spectacular.  Again, we have videos but the blog is not letting me upload them right now--sad face.   I will try again later and see if it works better.
    Oh man---I LOVE DISNEY <3
