We know it's only been a week since we last posted, but we feel like it's been forever! We hope that you all enjoyed your holidays, got everything you wanted from Mr. Claus, and spent some quality time with your family and friends!
We may not have been here writing last week, but we sure stayed busy nonetheless! We both (Chad and Mark) spent the first three days of the week in Long Beach with our church, chaperoning at our State Youth Conference. We love Long Beach! We know it's not really Disney related, but in the interest of proving to anyone who may not believe us that we weren't simply being lazy, but attempting to make a difference in our world aside from the website, here ya go:

| Lot of time spent here over the 3 days... glad the seats were comfy |

| WE FOUND... ah nevermind... |

Thursday was basically a day of recuperation (you try staying up with teenagers all night!); yeah, right...

No rest for the weary. Chad spent a few hours in The Park on Thursday with Amy meeting up with our friend "DC" (Disneyland Crazy) Sarah from DapsMagic.com. We got to hang with her for a couple of hours before she was due to take her "Holiday Time at Disneyland" Tour. We did get a picture taken, now we just need to beg it off of her. How on earth we went without a camera is beyond me... We spent the two hours just hanging out, taking a "grand circle tour around The Magic Kingdom" (which Chad had never done), and watching our favorite Cast Member Jason hard at work at City Hall. It might not seem like we did much, but it was really enjoyable. To wrap the day, Amy and Chad went over to lunch at Storytellers Cafe in the Grand Californian. Allow us both to just say this: "Corn Chowder". That is all.
Okay, so we were pretty lazy on Friday. The height of our day would have to be the "Twilight Zone" marathon we watched for most of the night on SyFy. We didn't even stay up to ring the New Year in because we had to be up at 3:30am to drive into Pasadena and work the stands at the Rose Parade. Again, nothing too Disney here. There was a studios float with a mention of Disney on it, but Chad was waging war on a port-a-potty at the time, so we have no picture proof. We did take these, though!

And there you have it, our lazy week in review! We're truly happy to be back and writing and are looking forward to a fantastically fun year in The Parks.
Please stay tuned for an important announcement...
We figure when it comes to jumping in feet first into something (like the New Year), why wait? With that in mind, Jason over at ohatdl.com, along with ourselves and FindingMickey.com, are already working on our first "Tweet-Up" of the New Year! We had so much fun doing it with just a few of us last year, we really want to include as many of you as we can!
Right now, we're looking at the 23rd of this month (it's a Sunday; So Cal Select APs are blocked) during the afternoon. Hopefully we can get a good little group going and spend some time hanging out, getting to know some of our readers, and maybe go on an attraction or two. It'd be great it we could "tweet-bomb" Pirates or something.
You can find more information to follow, or, check out our "Coming Tweet-Ups!" page at the top of our site for information and to RSVP. So come on out! We'd love to see you!

I totally forgot to watch the Rose Parade this year. Can you smell the floats as they go by? One year I want to go down the day after to look at them up close.
Happy New Year!
I gotta say I've never noticed them smell-wise as they go by. It can get pretty rank down there by the time they do, though. LOL
They're totally gorgeous, though. If you have the time, it's well worth the trip to go check them out. :)
