In about a week I will be turning 29. When trying to decide what to do to celebrate, I thought, why not spend the start of my last year in my 20′s at the Happiest Place on Earth? I haven’t been to DisneyLand in years (5 to be exact), but if you’ve talked to me in the past few years, you know that I have been dying to go back!

When I mentioned this to Joni, I was surprised to hear that she wanted to join me! So now it is actually happening. We are only going to go for 2 days, but I am confident that we can ride all of the best rides, at least once (except Indiana Jones – it is closed while we are there) and have a great time.

Pew pew!!
(yes, that is my ex)

While I am no stranger to DisneyLand (been there at least 5 times…probably more), it turns out neither is my family. When talking to my mom about my upcoming trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, she mentioned all the history my family has had there. My great grandmother went to DisneyLand in the first year it opened…alone…while in her 80′s! Also, my Uncle took his first steps at DisneyLand with his family. And, just 9 short years ago, I turned 20 at DisneyLand, complete with a dinner at Blue Bayou. So I am sure you can guess where my Birthday dinner will be this trip!

Disney released this video yesterday, and I am even more excited to go to Disney and ride all of these rides! Plus I love seeing storm troopers and Darth Vader at DisneyLand

So this weekend, be sure to follow along at #DisneyMon29, because of course I created a hashtag for my birthday! I will be sure to tweet and instagram my way through this trip!
