Pete takes me to Disneyland...and...uh...I'm not sure how to explain this, but this is NOT what it looks like (photo by Valerie Iwasaki)

We start with California Adventure

Paradise Bay drained panorama (hugin auto-stitched)

Okay, I'm just a little too focused on MY camera

Matterhorn before sunset

Observatron before sunset

Space Mountain before sunset

A tighter shot

Lori and I step inside Space Mountain

Almost to the loading station

Impossible to record video inside Space Mountain...even at ISO 12800

Valerie at Jazz Kitchen

Valerie orders the three course meal, starting with the soup (which I share)

I order the pasta jambalaya

Valerie's second course is the shrimp scampi (note that she has changed seats...Valerie and I can see the fireworks from our table)

Lori has the New York strip tchoupitoulas as her second course

Valerie selects the caramel cheesecake as her third course...

...but I end up eating most of it =)

Pete and Lori have the bread pudding for their third course

After dinner, Pete and I re-enter the park, pass through New Orleans Square during the dragonless climax of Fantasmic, and queue up to enter the Haunted Mansion. "Is this room actually stretching?"

No flash photography is allowed inside this attraction...and there's barely any light
