One thing I cant get off my mind was .. I did a FIRST! I went on Screaming! IT KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF!!! WOW! Coolest Roller Coaster I have EVER been on! LOL I wish I felt better. and could have tryed it again! I wish I could have broke it in sections! I LOVED!!!!!!! the launch!!!! it wowed me! LOL that coaster was so cool! a real SPEED rush! and I thought the loop was cool how they layed you ! instead of forward looping you! it made it much more bodily easy!. I liked how the little hills were! giving you a BIG hang time! anyway it was a VERY cool coaster! I am running in and out right now! so look here and I will post more HERE! in a bit. as I come back ! see you.

If I go, it would have to be alone, as DH won't even go on Space Mtn. BTMRR, etc with me. But I just don't know - I think it may have to wait until the next trip with my sisters, and we may work up enough bravery to finally try it!

THAT was AFTER ladys CM set down talk! (( walk on was 20 mins)) EVERYONE was yelling a bit here and there at the CM s and mad ! the lucky thing was that lady! she told them stuff of ill favoring of disabled. and told them LOTS! but all in a CONTROL ED Knowledgeable topic! and when they did NOTHING to move our line. asked their lead if he wondered as she does how channel 2 would be interested in our treatment( as she had a few other like things happen that day to the disabled!) she was CLEAR on EQAL treatment needed! COOOOOOL! they must have (( GOT))) the message! for they went WAY over nice the next few days!

I met them at the smoking place. as they all took a turn on hunted mansion. it is the holiday theme. they climbed the tree house. -- thus I sat and sat and sat as they stayed on the patio part.. thus I TRYED to go up the access ramp. but they had me chained AND roped off! AND trash cans blocking it off! I went to city hall and talked to them... as I have told them time after time. the chair ramp IS there! yet I am not able to use it!.. I dont know WHY this one blocked place BUGS ME! soooo much!. but it just gets to me everytime! the guy was very nice!. and I told him I'm sorry for complaining! but that ONE place bothers me so much.. because for that hour I could be with hubby and kids .. I am blocked. or denied the wheelchair ramp. the next day they went there again! but I had to grab a poor castmeber( she looked off work to me) and ask for daytime access. they only push them aside then lock it back up!. GRRR I cant stand that! why cant the ramp be open at all? We went on Indy.. LOL the jeep was the hardest ride Vivien and I had ever been on! it was so cool! we did right door.. the next day ride on it was center door and med ride. it was great!

I saw the huge model of opening day Disneyland. it was very nice to study what he put in. instead of the fast pass people make on the way to the movie.. and there was alot of detail on the writhing on the walls. I came to just read and look at that room 3 times. and one of them the show played 3 times. but how much do we really LOOK at that stuff?

LOL to bad I cant take THAT home! lol but the cool thing was they have this real meal place! there is a cute fountain garden area. with a tiny room . with three kinds of dry cearal, milk, Orange juice, lemonade , coffee, fresh bread to toast, mixed MUFFINS , and fresh Juice oranges, BUT outside there is a COOK CENTER ! it has Belgian Walfles , and Normal Walfles, you, just spray the iron. and pour in the cup ( they make the dough cups ) and turn the handel . and it rings a bell. when its cooked!. it was so cute! the GREAT service!! and the nice Guy Joe! help me alot! OH. and tiny cups ! but KILLER COFFEE! in the Lobby! LOL I tried to get it alot! VERY NICE! LOVE the place!

I had a bit of a hard time trying to find a way to get my chair down to the beach. I also am not use to the off season. and was sad to find no real soft sand part to the beach! it was hard packed and flat. and all wet! not a place to sit in the sand. we had noted the snack food place at on the peir rased their prices!!! so we had to look hard to find a moderate food price to eat. there is mostly high end eaterys out there! we didn't stay all that long!

( you only see the back part of a strip mall.) but right there is this place! it says All you can eat! it is $7 something per person for lunch. but they have EVERYTHING ! I even tried susi this time! Not Bad! but i LOVE the coconut shrimp!! and they had the best fish!! The other place we like! is to drive to the Bowling ally at Brookherst and Lincoln. they have a WONDERFUL 50s cafe! and EVERYTHING! is GREAT! the poster shows this big hamburgers. and you GET WHAT YOU SEE! its a step back in time! with a generous pourtion serving. of the REAL MALT SHOP FOOD! and great smoothes too.

Looking forward to hearing more about your trip.
