Yes, it can be done. How you ask?! Well, you are in for a story.
Friday we (my mom, sister Kristin, niece Tarah and I along with 50 other people) loaded on Le Bus at 7:00 pm in Sandy.
(why hey-llo there drivers. I shall call you smooth driver and can't pick a speed driver)
The bus ride down was fun. We watched Disney movies & were treated to oatmeal chocolate chip & sugar cookies in the shape of Mickey Mouse.
(thank you Matt's mom, they were delicious! )
I didn't get much sleep on the ride down. My iPod died around Vegas,and we were asked to "de-bus" around 3am so the bus driver could refuel. BOO!
We arrived just outside of the pearly gates (yes, I heard angels singing) around 6:00am. Had breakfast and then headed towards the park.
The rest of the day was... a whirlwind and we were pretty much running on adrenaline. I saw throughout the day subtle reminders of what I had to get.
(I see you, bouquet of fun, in the distance)
(Holy vast sea of Strollers batman.. and yes I still see you, thanks for the reminder.)
(the cast member noticed that I was trying to take a picture of you and posed for the camera.. little did he know.. I wanted a picture just of you.. and not him..that was nice of him to stop anyway)
I should know by now to ALWAYS have my camera out and ready to take pictures, because the people watching was, yet again, spectacular. So you will just have to take my word for what I saw. My most favorite of favorites was the entire family (seriously there were 10 of them) all dressed in neon green mickey mouse shirts and every single one of them were eating one of the giant dill pickles you buy there. Of course my camera was still in my backpack.. darn it I wished I would have noticed them sooner.
We partook of churros because.. hurlo! That is a MUST have while there!
We were able to ride the 2 rides that we missed when we went last year as well as a few others. We watched the parade and had awesome view, thanks to my mom, (3rd row in dead center of the Castle booya!), to watch the fireworks. To which I cried whilst viewing them. Misha my friend, you were right... amazing!

We ended the night with a bit of shopping.. I got my balloon (YAY!!) and had wonderful ice cream.
(Me.. after a loooong, fun and exhausting day!)
The drive home....
(See the balloons? That is where I was passed out!)
I will just say, I remember putting in my earplugs and taking some Advil pm, that is about it. Wait, I do remember getting off the bus to use the restroom at one of our stops.. I don't remember anything after that. We left around 12:30am early Sunday morning and arrived back in Sandy just after 1:00 pm.
A HUGE thank you to both Matt's for putting this trip together. I (as well as my family) had an incredible time!!!
(more pictures will be added later.. my sister has pictures that I want to use also.. so check back!)

Glad to hear you had a lot of fun. I thought that the whole whirlwind weekend was an adventure and would do it again in a heartbeat! LOVED it so much. I am glad you were able to get your balloon, even though it did look a little shrink wrapped by the time we got off the bus! :)

What fun. I'm so glad you got your balloon. How did it do on the bus ride back?
How super fun! I bet it wasn't too expensive and nice that you didn't have to drive! Fun, fun!!!!
I love Disneyland! I usually go every year, except I didn't this year. Their recent fireworks show is the best ever! If you haven't seen the Main Street Electrical Parade, it's super awesome! Glad you got to have some fun at the Original Magic Kingdom (yeah, that's a knock on Disney World).
