Disneyland

Last night Rick and I spent a few hours relaxing at D-land. We went on the re-done Space Mountain and saw the 50th anniversary fireworks. Space Mountain has been toned down, in my opinion. It was fun, with lots of turns and ups and downs, but not as exciting as it use to be. The ending was a nice snippit of a light show. The fireworks were fantastic. They reviewed many of the classic rides that have been a part of my childhood, as well as our current favorites. As soon as the music started for each portion, it brought me right back to the memories. I didn't realize how important the music was to setting the mood for the rides! They also painted the feelings of the rides with colored lights shining on the castle as well as the perfectly selected fireworks. I saw it before, without the music. It was ok...but when I saw the whole thing next to the castle, I thought it was great. I probably wouldn't go just for that, but if you've been thinking of seeing the park, do it before the show goes away. Especially if you've grown up with the park...
