After a few days in LA visiting A&K and 2nd M’s friends, we headed south for Disneyland. We arrived in the late afternoon and enjoyed watching plans land at the nearby Santa Ana Airport. We leisurely headed to our Disneyland hotel.

Once checked in, it was time for the Reconnaissance mission. We walked to the main entrance, timing our walk (20 min.) and exploring what the best approach and the most efficient path was to the park

. Then onto the equipment check. Had to make sure the camera was fully operational.

Mission complete, we decided to have dinner and reward ourselves with some ice cream.

Of course, we dined right near the Monorail and the Parking Lot Tram, so we decided to take a round trip ride on the Parking Tram. This was so exciting, I was wondering why I spent money on the tickets to the Land of the Mouse, but then realized, the 2nd M was free. (This trip was really just as much for me.)
