What a bunch of characters

We're basically famous - so many characters wanted to have thier photo taken with us!

Minnie and Micky on holidays (you can tell by thier cool casual get up)

Goofy with some dog character

Its Woody Murray! Woody!

Cruella De Vil

If she doesn't scare you

No evil thing will

Lilo? Stitch? We dont know.

And Pluto!

Californialand!

Murray at the "Golden Gate Bridge" just inside the entrance to the park. One day we'll have to go and see the real thing (and Murray can have all the SF Clam Chowder he wants).

These green toy soldiers were great - like the Blue Man Group, but Green!

Catch of the day?

Soaring, sickening, screeming, soaking wet fun

The rides at Californialand were AMAZING.

Soaring over California where you fly over California's most famous landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, Yosamite, Big Sur, Napa Valley wine region, LA at night. You're lifted up in this chair so it really feels like you're flying.

The Hollywood Tower of Terror. Yes - its every bit as terrifying as it looks. Its a grand old Hollywood era hotel, which has become a little... run down. Guests are required to use the service elevators where they're taken into.... The Twilight Zone! See on the right of this picture there are two doors which appear to be open? Well you go flying up god knows how high in the service elevator - when the door open - just long enough for you to look out over the Disneyland parks - then you plumet to what i was convinced was going to be my death.

This was the most insane rollercoaster. I loved it! Sure I might have only been on the Mad Mouse and the Scenic Railyway at Luna Park before this. But you're catapoulted from the starting poin picured below right up the first ramp and then its on like Kong from there.

The other stand out ride was the Grizzly River Run. Its basically white water rafting (only you know you wont drown at Disneyland because its the happiest place on earth). And you just get saturated. We loved it so much - went went on it again straight away!

When you wish upon a star

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

After a great dinner with Allyson and Todd we raced back to thier hotel rooftop pool to watch the spectacular Disneyland firework display. Was amazing - I can't believe they do this everyday. I want to live at Disneyland.

Mumma always said...

Life is like a block of chocolates, you never know what' you're gonna get!

Well, at least at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. you know that you're gonna get the biggest meal you ever saw!!!

Run Forest Run!

Stop Forest Stop!

Disneyland Day 1

Here we are - at Disneyland! After getting up early and not getting lost until the last moment, we made it to Disneyland. I can't wait - The happiest place on earth will be a lot happier with Murray, rather than by myself last time.

Murray with Walt and Mickey.

Muz-an

I suggested that Murray shoudl put his head in the mouth of this Saber Tooth Tiger on the Tazaan Treetop Walk - but when Murray did the Tiger roared and i thought that Murray was going to have to change his pants on hte very first "ride".

Oh bother, its Eeyore.

The only Chip'n'Dale Murray will let me get a photo with - even then he made sure that there was a fence seperating us.

Oh my hero! Murray and the sword in the stone.

It's a world of laughter,
A world of tears.
It's a world of hopes,
And a world of fears.
There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware,
It's a small world after all.

When I was little I had a lullabye doll which sang "Its a small world" so I've always wanted to go on this ride and last year it was closed!!! So i was very excited to be taking the happiest cruise that ever sailed.

Jedi Master Murray

There was a lot of 3D movies at Disneyland and California land. Oviously so popular because of the extremely cool glasses that you wear. The first couple of 3D things we saw were great, but there's only so much 3D i can handle.

What a day! I couldn't believe that we still had all that night and all day tomorrow too! Looking back on the map of Disneyland there was still so much we didn't do!

Disneyland - The Happiest Place on Earth!

Freakiest photo ever. Old Sherry and Sherry now... (and yes smarty pants, thats old on the left!)

Allyson - I wish you were here! No rain in the TeaCups today!

Dummmbo the Grrreat! There was also a Casey Jrn Train that I didn't get a photo of.

Real life Woody - with a real life kid!

When I grow up this will be my house! You can come and visit if you like.

I love Dumbo!

These dancing chipmunks remind me... Even though Disney really is the happiest place on earth... who needs Chipmunks at breakfast? I went to have breakfast downstairs at the hotel cafe and there was freaking giant singing chipmunks!!!
