Honeymoon - Fantasmic

Disneyland Day 2!



Could we be any cheesier? :)
So I woke up still pretty sick this day, but I was finally able to get up and get going that morning and I believe we made it to Disneyland by like 10, which I still think was pretty dang good for how I was feeling! So I didn't think that our first pic in front of Mickey was the best, so my cute husband let me get a new one. This one was much better!  Actually, I think all of our pictures were better after our first day haha. We had purchased cute shirts that said "I'll be your Minnie" and "I'll be your Mickey", so we decided to be dorky love birds and wear them on our last day. I have to say, we looked pretty dang cute together. Matchy matchy, tan and in love! Sounds good to me :) So this day was incredibly hot… like the worst of them all. I'm pretty sure it was like 102 degrees all day. Thankfully we fast passed a lot of things, and got to get in lines with air conditioning. Disney really knows how to make you feel more comfortable than any other theme park. We also found out that they couldn't turn you away if you asked for a cup of water! How cool is that? Free, cold water. No more nasty warm water from fountains. We just kept filling our water bottle with the free cold stuff!
So I decided to let my little girl self come out and ask Bryan if we could go on the Carrousel :) We most definitely were the oldest people on there who didn't have a kid with them ha. Naturally I had to have a picture of myself looking like a little kid on this thing. I felt a little silly, but then decided I didn't care because it is just so great to be a kid :) A nice couple next to us took this picture, and I think we are quite darling :) Yay for being 5 years old together.


Naturally because it was so hot outside, we wanted to go on Splash Mountain. As we were in line, I realized I didn't want to be in the very front because I saw how many people were getting completely soaked! Just my luck, we were seated in the very front… ha I was so worried about our stuff getting wet like our phones and cameras. I hugged our bag like you wouldn't believe! As you can see, there was terror on my face when we went down that big drop! The guys that were behind us were killin me ha. They were way funny, but I was just so nervous about the fact that I was in that log with 5 large guys…. ha. We got SO sopping wet. It felt so good…. until my garments and clothing were sticking to me and chaffing ha.  #mormongirlprobs. I felt bad that I complained so much after that…  thank goodness Bryan can put up with me. I did end up drying and getting much more comfortable again. I was just very annoying for a good hour or two… :)




Naturally we had to take some pictures in front of our friend Mickey and the Castle, so we made sure to get some keepers. The great thing about Disenyland is they always have photographers out and about taking photos with their cameras, but they are also willing to take photos with your camera! How nice are they?

I have to say, we do look pretty  dang cute in our twinner outfits and matching buttons. I'm not gonna lie, the dorky shirts was one of my favorite purchases during our trip!

Disneyland was pretty crowded that day because of senior night,  but after I dried I ended up being lot more comfortable that day than the first day in Disneyland. At one point we asked a worker where the closest bathroom was, and he ended up giving us a fast pass to Star Tours, which was way sweet because it made it so we got to hit all of the big rides with a fast pass even during a really busy day. Once again, the "just married" buttons were doing us a great favor. I feel like we should wear those every time we go… that's fine if our state of mind is "just married" right? haha.

We did eat lots of yummy treats that day. I don't know why I didn't take any pictures of our food! I should have. I got to get the tasty raspberry lemonade slushy drink again which is probably the best thing ever! We also tried eating at a hamburger place that was quite filling. I kind of enjoyed being spoiled, however next time we will be packing lunches so we don't waste that much money again!!!

The last ride we went on for the day was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. We ended up getting lucky because it broke down earlier during our fast pass time, and so we went on other rides during that time. When we got back to that area they had JUST opened the line back up, so we got through the line way quick!! Here is our last snapshot from the riding a  ride at disneyland :( It was very fun though! I like that ride a lot too! Once we got done, Bryan ran to get himself a chicken leg, and  to get me pizza for our dinner. I then ran to go find us a good place to watch Fantasmic. I have to say, I think I did pretty well!!  While I was waiting I met a nice woman and her cute kids. We got talking, and she was just the nicest, funniest latino woman. She told me all these stories, and let me play with her kids. She also that it was just the cutest thing that I was there for my Honeymoon. I realized it was taking Bryan forever, so I gave him a call and he said his phone was about to die and I tried to explain where he could find me. His phone ended up dying and I was super nervous that I wouldn't be able to find him because he definitely did not have my phone number memorized… I ended up standing up and going to look for him. Thank goodness I found him pretty dang quickly! I was happy :)

So we got back down to our seat and that lady just started talking with both of us again. asking all about the wedding, where it was, what my dress looked like etc. I explained the whole Temple thing really simply to her and she goes "oh! That place is super important to you people, congrats! I'm so happy for you to have made it there!" I was like shocked at how sincere she was. It was super cute. She was a feisty and funny little thing, and told us ridiculous stories like how she hinted for years for her husband to get her a newer bigger ring and stuff. I liked her a lot :)

The show started when it got dark and it was really good! I definitely think The World of Color was my favorite, but I still really enjoyed it, especially when they brought the princesses out :) The fireworks were really great as well! I got sad when I realized we were really leaving and the honeymoon was over. But my cute boy made sure to buy me a pineapple spear. I had wanted one the whole time, but I thought he'd make fun of me for wanting it. I finally caved and mentioned it. He tried to get me one before the show started and didn't, so he wanted to make sure I got one before we left the park. Oh my, it was SO yummy! I even got Bryan to take a bite and he thought it was good. Man how I cannot wait for summer! I feel like summer and tasty fruit just go hand in hand.

So we got on the bus back to the parking lot, and and then we were off on the road again to home. Getting home was a real fun experience.. haha. But our trip overall was so great! I loved having all of that time with my very best friend. We didn't have anyone to bother us, we got to make our own decisions, fall asleep together, make dinner together, travel together,  not think or stress about a wedding, not go to work, go on rides together, talk about our future, make plans, best of all we were able to just be happy and in love :)
