    The line to meet elsa and Anna was like 2 hours when we were there before spring break. The side door was opened so we were able to see inside, we didn't look long because the people in line looked they wanted to kill us, they probably assumed we were looking to cut in line or something.

    Anyways, the girl playing Elsa was drop dead gorgeous, like get all awkward and fumble your words when talking to her gorgeous. Is that your most cherished of the 3 pictures? ;)

    I love the lines because most of them are a ride of their own (not counting matterhorn, nemo, etc...) however the whole reluctance to talk to strangers thing was a little obnoxious. I could understand if there was a huge age difference, but I'm talking people of my generation. The 30+ year olds were actually more willing to chat in line. I guess my generation just doesn't like talking if it doesn't involve a phone in their hand...

    of the 3 selfies probably a tie between Elsa and Rapunzel. They both were really interactive while Jasmine was more stand offish. Which is funny cause they all fit their character's personalities really well.

    But the most fun one to meet (didnt get a selfie with her cause she didnt make the list) was Merida from Brave. She was actually Legit hilarious. Giving me crap by asking my wife if I was worth giving up her freedom for by marrying me. And right before our turn a little girl in a giant red Merida wig hugged her and wouldnt let go for literally 2 minutes. Was pretty cool to see.

    The wife and I are pretty set on no kids for us, but I have told my friends who have kids, that is the one thing I'm jealous of. Not having someone to pass on the appreciation of Disney to... seriously I feel bad for Generations of kids who have no idea what Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Rescue Rangers, and Talespin are lol

    catch world of color? that's gotta be the most impressive show at any Disney park

    My favorite "attraction" in Disneyland is the Indy queue

    We always end each trip with a show. Seems appropriate for some reason to end disney trips with a show
