We woke up to the sound of wind! Did I dream of Disneyland? Wow talk about wind, I guess the Santa Anna winds came in but lucky for us they didn't last all day. We got all ready early and hit the park early thinking people would still be opening Christmas presents and we would be riding rides! Wow lucky for us Laurie remembered we had a early morning entrance into the park because the crowds were phenomenal!!!!! We rushed through the gate while all those people had to wait for at least an hour or more to get in and we rode 5 rides in an hours time and then the flood gates opened! The park was flooded! We decided to go eat breakfast this day because it was just such huge rush of people and we were starving!!!!! Shit we are on our 3rd day in the park and we haven't hardly eaten considering all the walking we have done! I swear the crowd walking toward us from downtown Disneyland was huge they all got done opening their Christmas presents at the same time!!!! When we got to the Rain Forest Cafe' to eat breakfast the lady in the gift shop told us Disneyland sold out! 70,000 people SOLD OUT! Holy Shit huh? Well we ate breakfast did some shopping headed back to the hotel and let the girls swim all afternoon and rest for our evening return to ride that Roller Coaster!!!! We went straight to the California Adventure side of the park because all the Asian's hang out in Disneyland and Disneyland is just busier. We get right to the roller coaster and there is only a 10 minute wait holy shit we all get on and I even keep my eyes open the whole time even around the loop! As we get off I notice there is still hardly any line and I say "Hell lets do it again!" Everyone agrees and we are all hoping we will be the ONE gets the front car! Well we get up there and luck would have it we get the front car!!!!! Short lived excitement for Laurie and I it is Tim's dream so we give up the front car to Tim and Riley and Laurie and I took the second seat. The ride starts off thrilling as ever 5 4 3 2 1 woooooo hooooooo and then skreeeeetch 60mph to zero in nothing flat. Fuck we are stuck at the top of the roller coaster and then sheer panic sets in as I ask Laurie "Where is the other cars are they going to hit us?" Then she starts to panic as well!!!! Well to our relief in short time a park official comes up the cat walk and asks us if we are okay. Then short time after that the safety team comes up secures our car and evacuates the ride. We had to walk down like 5 flights of stairs. Something good came out of it we got free front of the line passes to go on any ride. We chose Soaring over California because we didn't think we would get to ride that again considering it was over a 2 hour wait for that one, and like I said before the ride is beyond AMAZING. The reason the roller coaster quit was due to a computer glitch. Well after all of that we decide to make our way to Disneyland to watch the fireworks since this is our last day in the park. Now it is getting cold and the Santa Anna winds are starting to blow again. We find a seat just outside of Disneyland and we have a hour wait and we are hungry shit we hadn't eaten since breakfast us adults anyhow the kids ate sandwiches about 3 and we have to wait until 9:25 for these fireworks!!!! DAMN Santa Anna winds NO fireworks after waiting an hour and we are all getting GROUCHY! We decide to walk back to the hotel. We are starving at this point, freezing, and our feet hurt worse than anyone can imagine!!!!! We get to the hotel and guess what the restaurant is CLOSED!!!!! We walk to the corner convenience store to get Subway and it is closed too! And the convenience store has no microwavable food like most stores do even in WYOMING! So we had vending machine food for Christmas dinner. Snickers, cookies and chips! NICE!?! Still unbelievably fun though!!!!! On to day five.......
