My Birthday at Disneyland

My mom sent me a musical card that played the opening chorus of the song I used for this video. It inspired me to make this video, actually. On the front of the card it had a photo of a toddler with a party hat on, crying his eyes out, with the caption, "If you didn't get what you want for your birthday..." Open the card, it plays the music, and says, "Cry and scream until you do!" She finds the best cards for me, seriously.

So, I used Adobe Premiere's auto-movie maker, and while I'm not happy with the results, I settled on this after over a week of bashing my head on mis-timed photo cuts and WTF-was-I-thinking timing. I basically threw up my hands in disgust this morning and put the software on autopilot.

My friend Kris drove me to Disneyland - it was just the two of us. As you can see, I took pictures all over the place, and several kind souls took pictures of us/for us (like the ticket booth attendant). It was a LOT of fun. When I showed the price difference on lunch from the Premium Pass that Kris has, my husband texted back to me, "Do it!" I now have a premium pass. There's an inside photo towards the end of me with a lady with dark-rimmed glasses (no hat). Heather was the one who processed my pass purchase.

This was also my first foray into pin-trading, as shown by the shots of my hat at the end. OMFG, it was so much fun, and I look forward to doing more!

One thing Disneyland knows is customer service. It was wonderful.
