The Mouse, the Myth

What would a trip to California be without a trip to see the infamous Mickey Mouse!
We got a great deal on twilight convention tickets, so our first evening in California was spent wandering around Disneyland. We entered the park around 6:30 pm and left close to midnight but even with all the time in the park we didn't go on any of the rides as most of them had 40 min. or longer wait times.

We weren't use to the evenings getting dark so quickly but the park is lit nicely so we were still able to wander around after the sun went down. This was the first time we have seen fireworks since we moved to Alaska in 2003, it never gets dark enough in the summer to fully appreciate 4th of July fireworks.
