As I type this, we are just over 2 1/2 weeks away from our Disneyland Vacation. I am harboring various thoughts of things I just can't wait to do..

1. Ride Space Mountain Again
2. Goofy's Kitchen Breakfast
3. GCH gate DCA Early Entry
4. Hanging out in New Orleans square
5. Several rides on POTC
6. Finally trying a Turkey Leg (& hoping my wife will like the Chimichanga)
8. Soarin'
9. BTMRR
10. Trying Buzz Lightyear

I guess 10 is a good number.. I'll stop there for now.
