Family Pictures at the Park

 The park is a great place for fun pictures of the family! There's not much to do while standing in line.  One thing that passes the time is taking pictures.



Snacks, goofing around, etc.




Oh Lissa, where has the time gone?


Lots of pics!

"Flash" Mountain

Image
When they first put in Splash Mountain back in 1989 the camera near the top of the big drop was a new and novel idea.  It didn't take long for people to start doing weird things for the camera.  It also didn't take long for people to start doing things like flipping the bird.  One thing that some people did was "flash" the camera.  Now, this started to happen enough that the ride earned the nickname Flash Mountain AND a Disney employee was assigned to review the pictures before they were posted on the TV screens.  The job was to delete any of the pictures with inappropriate images.  Today, Disney has a software program that does the filtering.  Now, I'm not saying Lissa is doing anything inappropriate here (and Disney agrees because they let the picture through) but what the heck is she doing?

Universal Studios

Remember that time we went to Universal Studios? That was fun. We rode the Mario ride, which was a let down.  How is it that the line for the ride was better than the actual ride? Mario Land was really cool.  I thought it was fun to see all of the different stuff from the Mario video games. I also liked that the music in the bathroom was from the underwater worlds of the original Super Mario Bros game. It's funny, though, because I don't feel that draw to Universal Studios like I feel it for Disneyland. When we went in the late 80s/early 90s that shark was so cool. This time around the "CGI" had definitely aged. Here's more of the long story: Friendly Faces The people inside the park seemed kinder, too. Smiles and waves were exchanged with strangers, and cast members were everywhere, ready to assist with anything. "I swear, everyone here is just happier," Lissa remarked. "Must be the magic of Disney." "Either that, or they’re all in ...

Driving, Day 2

Today we drive from St. George to Disneyland. Here is the long story, in its entirety. You can read this to pass the time as we drive along today: Family Disneyland Chaos Trip It was a sunny Saturday morning when four families from Utah embarked on an epic journey to the happiest place on Earth: Disneyland. The first stop? St. George, a desert oasis where they would all rendezvous and spend the night before continuing to Anaheim. Each family had a unique adventure on the long drive to St. George, filled with laughter, chaos, and more than a few bathroom breaks. The Christensen Family from Orem Steve and Mandy Christensen packed their minivan with military precision, fitting luggage, snacks, and their four children, Jenna, Zac, Trevor, and Gage, like Tetris pieces. The drive from Orem to St. George was set to be around four hours, but with kids, it felt like planning for a cross-country trek. "Are we there yet?" Gage asked, ten minutes into the drive. "No, buddy, ...
