Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

I hit up Disneyland with friends. I dubbed it vampire weekend, so Aireen and I wore Twilight shirts and had Team Edward buttons on our backpacks.

I got asked to prom xD via scavenger hunt from the entrance, through Main Street, ending at the castle. Each stop had a gift and another clue. It was awesome! I said yes, of course.

We all got Family Reunion buttons from City Hall. I asked if the Lilly Belle was operating. The Cast Member said yes, but you need a ticket to board, but the tickets aren't for everyone. BURN!

Attractions:
-Buzz Lightyear - i scored 4800. F A I L
-NBC Haunted Mansion - I asked for a Death Certificate. They only give them out during regular mansion.
-Indiana Jones
-it's a small world holiday - we saw the light show while waiting
-Matterhorn [Fantasyland side]
-Monorail - can't ride it without singing the song from the Simpsons!
-Pirates of the Caribbean
-Pocahontas - met her in front of the Hyperion theatre
-Rainforest Cafe for dinner
-Sorcerer's workshop
-Space Mountain
-Talk to Crush - I asked "Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?"
He responded, "Can I be Team Crush?"
-Tower of Terror - WHAT zone? Twilight zone?!

We only spotted 3 others wearing Twilight merch. Something was wrong there! LOL

NEW MOON

Initial reaction: EEEEP! SO GOOD!

I'm listening to "Twilight" by Travis Garland as I write this blog. It's super cute.

First of all, New Moon ranks 4th in the series for me. The absence of Edward and the annoying-ness of Bella made it difficult for me to read the book.

I didn't obsess over this film as I had over Twilight. But I enjoyed New Moon WAY MORE. It could be due to the fact that I hold the book to a lower standard.

New Moon was a very good adaptation! They kept most of the stuff in the book, and I'm sure because I read the book on Wednesday.

Taylor Lautner is Jacob Black.

The werewolves were VERY nice to look at. =]

My husband, Jackson Rathbone/Jasper Cullen, got an extra scene!

I always got mad at Edward for freaking leaving. But when he apologizes in the movie, I totally forgive him!!

I love the ending.

Lame moments:
1. Alice's vision - did they have to wear those clothes and run in slow motion?
2. Jacob called Bella "loca"

Things that were better in Twilight:
Jasper's hair
the soundtrack

New Moon had a $50 million budget this time.
It made $26 million in Friday midnight showings and holds the top record.
$140 million weekend total. 3rd highest overall.

I'm so proud! Eclipse better be the BOMB.

Quick Trip

So we decided to stop by Disneyland, and only stayed for the 3 hours of free parking at Downtown Disney.

I noticed that Guest Relations had this sign:

So that's where I'll go when I have a reservation, if ever.


It's Christmas time! The Christmas tree is HUGE.

We rode it's a small world holiday. It was really cool with all of the holiday overlays, especially if you have ridden it as many times as I have.

Then we rode Dumbo! It's not lame at all! You can control it going up and down.

Lastly, we tried tracking down one of the performers in the High School Musical show for my brother. We would have followed them as the parade left, but she was on the float, so there was no point. xP
