All Nighter

It's a harsh reality - getting older.

There's these cool things like watching your kids go out on their own and doing positive things. I am not fond of watching my parents get older, or my grandparents becoming frail. My body likes to boss me around too, which I find annoying. It's not in control, yet, and I don't plan let it get the best of me. Still, I find I have to work within some limits, only rebelling occasionally.

Wednesday night I am rebelling.

We are taking Thursday off so we (my fiance and I) can go to Disneyland Wednesday afternoon. All Night baby. I guess it's a Disney freebie for the leap year. Check the calendar here!

The fiance put it in my Google calendar as "all nighter". Can I do it? Even in Vegas I am usually sleeping by 3 am - maybe 4 am at the latest. Can I make it to 6 am?? And then drive home? Or better yet, leave for four hours and come back at 10 am on Thursday!!

I plan to go on some rides and see some attractions I don't normally have time to indulge in. That's right, Peter Pan, you better be open. All the little kiddies *should* be gone. "You can glow, you can glow!" Ever write on your arm with highlighter then go on Peter Pan? YES YES!! I like sitting on the caboose on the Casey Jr Train. "I think I can, I think I can". So what I actually know all the words to "Yo-Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me" and "Grim Grinning Ghosts". I am going to sit on a horsey on the Carousel and complain about the seat belt. And I might even yell Pineapple from across the park on my way to a delicious Dole Whip. I am going to sit backwards on Big Thunder. I am going to sing Happy Unbirthday to myself, and I might even go torture myself with Snow White's Wishing Well. I will find my Laughing Place (but with a poncho - sorry I don't want to freeze to death). Hell I might even go on the Astro Orbiter - which used to be SOOO much cooler when it was on top of the People Mover. (Totally lame move, Imagineers - just so you know). Yeah, I am gonna kick someone's ass on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. That's only because my sons aren't there to kick my ass (although I beat them both on Midway Mania!). Autopia - here I come! Don't bump the car ahead of you. Does anyone actually NOT bump the car ahead of them? I miss the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse. I think I have only been up the tree once since Tarzan and Jane took over. Although one year they did have this luscious looking guy posing as Tarzan situated in that general area (I know my BFF remembers that one!)

All nighter here I come!
