Mom Visits!!!

And what will you (yes, you) do when you visit me in California???  Go to Disneyland, of course!
That's exactly what Mom and I did!  To the park, I say, to the park....

Unfortunately, (fortunately) I had to check in at my job at Disneyland for a couple of hours (I know, I know....I leave my mother to go to work AT Disneyland....like I said, I know...on both accounts!)  But it was okay - she was fully self-efficient!  She rode rides by herself and photographed the park.  We met up when I was finished and spent the rest of the day together :)  The highlights:





Tink!

 


 
 





The Haunted Mansion - remains decorated for Tim Burton's
"The Nightmare Before Christmas" through New Years....




Our view inside Indiana Jones for 25 minutes - we were STUCK!
We were told to stay in the vehicle as it could move at any moment - it finally moved and we finished the ride with work lights and no music.  When we pulled into the station and the cast members let us ride again with full show on....Mom got a FULL behind the scenes experience!



The new Tangled area in Fantasyland!




My current project at work - Star Tours!
Re-launching May 2011 - go see it!



The giant Christmas tree on Mainstreet - remember the Santa Claus dolls I mentioned in an earlier post??  Here they are!  Love them!

Lunch @ Cafe Orleans:  French Onion Soup and Parmesean French Fries - YUM!


Over to California Adventures!!!





We loved the popsicle stick benches :)


Carsland construction....that's the Cadillac fin mountain range in progress....


Blue Sky Cellar - you can see the concept art and work of fellow Imagineers....


Our very special and prestigious hardhats - I'll have one some day :)




We are having FUN!!!




Ended the day at the World of Color water show - great (long) day!


We also house sat for my mentor, Susan, while she was in Florida on business.  She has two kids:  Elliot (her daschund) and Karma (her silken windhound).
This is how Karma sleeps:


Too funny not to share!



On Friday, Mom and I went to the showing of the new Disney movie, Tangled, at the famous 
El Capitain theatre in Hollywood.  It's like watching a movie at the Fox in Atlanta.....we had VIP seating in the balcony with popcorn and drinks waiting on us when we arrived....
Great movie!  Go see it!





Live show before the movie with several characters including Mickey & Minnie!

Great visit with my Mommy!  Brandon and I will see you in 2 weeks in GEORGIA!!!!
Love you!
