Words will do little to express how wonderful this year's Disneyland Day was but I will do my best to capture the magic that everyone brought with them on this wonderful trip. First of all, we would like to thank all of you for making the effort to be there, we know this day would never have happened without each of you.
Every Disneyland Day starts with the Mouse Hunt championship breakfast. This year we went with a Star Tours theme since Star Tours was revamped this past year.

Brit came up with some wonderful food ideas which included Princess Leia Cinamon Buns, Jabba Juice, Storm Trooper Scramble and more. We ended up having 26 people come this year and everyone got there very own gift bag. The bags were painted with a custom DLand Day Storm Trooper with Mickey Ears stencil. Inside they had everyone's shirts, last year's blocks (if you went last year), puzzles, Chewie Chewbacca home made cookies and more.
The 3 finalists were Kim, Cheryl and Marianne. After weeks of questions and a close battle, it all came down to this years championship.

| Is that Obi Wan?? |
 |
| No... it's the return of Zapperman!! |
|

This year's game was Jeopardy themed and it was VERY close. Mighty Mouse Marianne narrowly beat Zapperman and Princess Leia in a championship that will go down in history as one of the greatest!
Finally, it was time to head for the park. When Brit and I decided that we wanted to start an annual holiday centered at Disneyland, we knew it would be more about family then rides. This year we hit up some awesome rides, but by far the best part was spending that time together! Our first ride all together was Pirates of the Caribbean!!

I can't imagine how this year's Disneyland Day could have been any more enjoyable. Thank you all so much for making the trip, but more than that, thank you for being you. Every one of you brought a unique light to the unforgettable day. Brit and I are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. I'm glad that our first born child will have such a fun and supportive family. We love you all so much and we had such a great time!!! We can't wait until March 9th when we have the 4th annual Disneyland Day!!
