Where dreams come true

Floss lives a childhood dream in the Teacups - they were amazing fun.




If the title isn't a massive giveaway, let me cut to the chase. Today we went to Disneyland. And it was absolutely, blinkin' amazing. Everything I imagined it would be and more. And more. And more.

Higlights? Many of them. A stunning evening fireworks display over Sleeping Beauty castle. Brilliant animatronics displays. Whizzing around in the famous teacups. Screaming down the log ride at Splash Mountain (and Floss got soaking wet!!). A cool submarine Finding Nemo attraction. Winnie the Pooh. Meeting Miss M Mouse. And Mr M Mouse. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - thats a rollercoaster ride. A glimpse into the future of technology with Innoventions.

A list of highlights doesn't do justice to the tremendous attention to detail; the skill with which people are moved swiftly through the attractions; the cleanliness of the entire park; the vision and imagination of its creator... I do believe it is the happiest place on earth.

PS:You might remember we went to Columbia, MO and saw Mizzou beat the Colorado Buffalos and take their winning streak to 5-0. That's now 7-0 with wins at Texas A & M and at Columbia against Oklahoma. Mizzou have climbed to 6th in the College rankings from 24th a few weeks ago. Go Tigers!!!
