Carolyn and I met up with Alex, Brian, Burke, Scott and YoungJae down in Disneyland to ride on the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage two days before it opened. Alex, along with Scott and YoungJae worked on the ride so it was neat to get to ride it with them. As one would assume with a trip to Disneyland, everyone was thoroughly excited. Scott was so excited he started to eat himself.

The first time we rode the ride, it still had some of the old ride in it as it broke down. John Lassetter and Andrew Stanton were also on the ride with us. When this tragedy befell the ride, John made everyone smile by pointing to his Hawaiian shirt. Andrew looked out the sub’s porthole and exclaimed, “Mine!” YoungJae was the happiest we had ever seen him.

YoungJae was so happy that we had to bring him down a little, so we went over to California Adventure to ride the Tower of Terror ride. I kept on telling Alex and Burke that the hotel was just a set piece and that no one had ever died here. They wouldn’t listen. In order to make them happy we went on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.

The night was almost over but we managed to squeeze in some more fun. In fact, Burke tried to squeeze his whole head shut when we were on Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters. After that Burke tried to impress everyone with his Canadian Mounty marching skills. It backfired though and scared Carolyn.

On Sunday, Alex, Brian and Burke flew home and Scott slept. So Carolyn and I went back to Disneyland for some more fun. We were eating cajun food for lunch and I showed her the pictures from the day before. I showed her this one where I look like Burke’s twin brother, P.J., and she got scared and her head exploded. She got better but my feet still hurt.
