Yep! We were able to make it to Disneyland last night!
Ben and I bought Disneyland annual passes in February but haven’t really used them because I’ve been so busy. Yesterday was the last day they were valid until September (there are a lot of blackout dates for the passes we got) so we had to go last night.
The traffic was horrible though and it took us an hour and a half to get there when it’s normally 30 minutes. Boo. So as soon as we were walking in Ben stopped and got a banana split when I was in the restroom. I guess we did dessert before dinner?
I packed a wrap to enjoy in line and a blurry husband in the background for company.
First stop was Indiana Jones, one of my favorites!
We also did the Jungle Cruise on the way to Tomorrow Land.
We were about to get in line for Captain EO when the worker said it was 13 minutes until the next show. So we decided to grab some food since Ben hadn’t eaten. I just stole a bite or two.
The grand finale was Space Mountain. Ben hadn’t been on it since he was a kid!
Notice that me and the kid in front of me have the exact same face going on.
As we walked to the car I realized I was hungry and we debated stopping for “real food” somewhere. Nah. I ended up getting a bag of kettle corn and destroying it on the way home.
It was a little hard to get up this morning since we got home pretty late, but it’s Friday so the promise of the weekend made it easier
I did 3 miles and made lazy French Toast. This is where I just pour the eggs right on the bread in the pan so I don’t dirty an extra bread dipping dish.
Fun Friday!
I’m interviewing Evelyn Tribole, the author of Intuitive Eating today! Got a question for her? Share it below.
Question: Fun weekend plans?
Suzanne says
I recently discovered lazy scrambled eggs which incorporate the same concept! We are creatively lazy!
Lindsay says
Let me just tell you, I’ve been diet soda free since last Sunday….if I can do this, you can do this. Let’s do it together!!!!
runeatrepeat says
All right, I’m in!
Sue says
I wish we had Disneyland or Disney World in town; your trip there makes it seem like ours to the park! LOL!
Nicole @masters2marathons says
My fun weekend plan is signing up for the tinkerbell half in Jan 2013! I noticed you and skinny runner did it earlier this year and it looked like you both had a blast! Even though I haven’t even run my first half yet (I will in october), I just can’t pass up lining up another event!
I will probably be running it myself, but I am sure I will meet fun people along the way. Looks like you had a good time at Disneyland!
Caralyn @ glutenfreehappytummy says
how fun! disney brings out the kid in all of us:)
Christine @ OatmealBowl says
Great videos. LOL. And I love me my Indiana Jones. but the price of the DLand pass… not so much love. Hey, but for $60 you can get a yrly Knotts pass. Pass the fried chicken please.
BTW, I don’t have a question, but am looking forward to the interview. 🙂
Ash Bear says
We are down in Philadelphia for a wedding this weekend and since they are some of our closest friends, it’s quite exciting!
Nicole says
The smell of that Kettle Corn wafting through Downtown Disney is too much to bear! I would break down too.
Lee @ Anytime Health says
I absolutely love how you packed your dinner! Saving time/money and doin’ it the healthy way. Dessert before dinner…I thought I was the only one who did that 🙂
Julie says
Banana splits are my favorite and that one looked awesome!
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
I’ve never been to Disneyland! We have always gone to Disney World because it was closer when we lived in the Midwest. But now we are on the West coast. Maybe Disneyland will be next!
Jac @ Challenged and Running in the Bike Lane says
OMG, I am SO beyond jealous of your quick stop to Disneyland. Grrr. 🙁 I cannot wait to go in September but we’re only going to CA Adventure.
Shannon says
I would love to buy season passes for my sister and family out in California but need to save my pennies first:)
I have a question for Eveyln: how does intuitive eating work for a diabetic who must eat all the time on a regular basis (to keep sugar levels well, level) even if they arent all that hungry.
Weekend plans? To keep as cool as possible. We are having horrible weather out here in Maryland!
anne says
How do you not gain weight with the diet you keep, especially all those carbs?! Running 5 or so miles per day would not balance that out for me…
runeatrepeat says
I have gained weight over the last year, but I love carbs too much to care.
Alex @ Healthy Life Happy Wife says
Going to Aruba! Can’t wait!!
runeatrepeat says
Fun fun!!!!! Have a safe trip 🙂
jen says
I would love to go to Disneyland! Too bad I live in North Carolina.
Megan@ The Running Doc says
I love Space Mountain! The amusement park I live close to isn’t as cool as Disneyland but it’s still awesome and I totally recommend everyone get some sort of season pass. Can’t beat the fun had at an amusement park!
Sana says
LOL I am crying at work, thanks to the prank video!
Julia H. @ Going Gulia says
I can’t even imagine getting to go to Disney whenever I felt like it. That is SO awesome. If I ever live near any Disney park, I am definitely getting an all-year pass!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
yay yay yay! i have been toying w the idea of getting a pass once my folks move to mission viejo, but i’ve a feeling i wouldn’t take full advantage of it. i can’t even use up my groupons!
