Went back to Disneyland and went to Splash Mountain and then to our beloved Haunted Mansion. Always a treat, and we are looking forward to the holiday overlay they do each year, based on "The Nightmare Before Christmas." On the way out we caught some of Fantasmic, a really spectacular stage/fireworks/pyrotechnics show staged on Rivers of America. The last time we saw it the Mark Twain steamboat was being rehabbed so we missed the spectacular conclusion with the Mark Twain piloted by a black & white "Steamboat Willie" style Mickey Mouse.
Went over and rode the Matterhorn Bobsleds, which is so much fun, especially at night because as you zip in and out of the mountain you get great views of the park, plus the monsters inside the mountain are scarier.
Pretty tired after all that. It was just about midnight. We left the park and did a little shopping on the way out, not much; Genevieve got some pajamas that are really cute for her birthday present for herself. Hit the car, got some Gatorade at a mini-mart on the way out, and 30 minutes later we were back home, miraculous! Needless to say after walking for 12 solid hours we are both pretty stiff today. Had to soak my feet in the hot tub before I could walk properly!
