A Magical Adventure




Because I decided to get an annual pass to Disneyland at the start of the year, I've been finding myself there several times over the last month. Today, however, was probably the longest tour of duty that I have yet engaged in, and it is with great magic that I present the event log for the day.

Warning:

Disneyland is a high-speed, magical adventure type-ride in the dark, with sharp turns, sudden drops and stops. Expectant mothers should not ride.

OMG, where did that come from? Disneyland must've used its magic to make it be there.
