Away Down South in Dixie!

A couple of weeks ago I realized that my Disneyland pass was expiring and I still hadn't eaten at Blue Bayou or gotten Mickey/Minnie ears, BOTH of which were on my bucket list.  So, I decided to make it happen.  I ended up booking a room in Anaheim and making a little getaway out of it.  I spent my evening at Disneyland and California Adventure and went land by land doing everything that I wanted to do and, of course, taking full advantage of the single-rider line (best thing ever, by the way).  I also bought these:

My first pair of ears!!!

I stayed almost until closing and then went back to my room; I was so glad that I decided to stay nearby because I was seriously so exhausted by the end of the night!  You can pretty much see my exhaustion in the picture above, but that's what happens when you work a full day and then run around like a crazy person all night long!  ;)

The following morning, I got to Disneyland just after it opened and picked up where I left off, going from land to land hitting all the rides I wanted to go on.  At 4:30, I had a reservation at Blue Bayou and I looked forward to it all day long!  Finally, the time came and I got to check off a big bucket list item!

Blue Bayou is everything I had hoped it would be!

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so cool!  I'm so glad I decided to go!  After dinner, I hit a few more rides and then headed home.  I'm really grateful that I've been able to do things like this and realize that I'm such a lucky girl to have had so many cool opportunities!
