E is for Envelope
I wonder what they do with stuff like this after they are done using them?

MY Front Porch
It belongs to me. It was placed there specifically for me to have a spot on Main Street for enjoying chocolate chocolate chip muffins and milk for breakfast from Blue Ribbon Bakery, for eating ice cream or Mickey Truffles in the middle of the day while I rest my feet, and for sipping hot chocolate at the end of a long park day as the crowd exits the park.
It doesn't exist when I am not there.

Ragtime Break
My sister and I sat here at Coke Corner and ate ice cream and chocolate-covered strawberries while my 5 year-old napped in his stroller. It was so relaxing to just sit and enjoy and people-watch.
Robert doesn't look very amused that I am taking his picture, though.

Things Aren't What They Seem
"Why are there green meatballs in the street, Mom?"
"Uhhh...those aren't meatballs."

More Than A Corridor
When I was growing up, I thought of Main Street simply as a passageway to get from the park entrance to someplace exciting...like Space Mountain. I never paid much attention to Main Street details. It just wasn't my thing to mosey around and look at window displays or check out the season's park merchandise. The only real time I spent there (when I wasn't just passing through) was while watching the Main Street Electrical Parade. Well, times have changed. Disneyland's Main Street is one of my very favorite spots in the park. Sitting on the curb at about 4:00pm, with a double scoop ice cream cone from the tucked away Main Street Cone Shop, people watching, listening to the Main Street soundtrack...what's not to love.

Ending My 13 Year Disneyland Drought
I experienced a 13 year Disneyland drought as an adult. This is one of the first pictures I took upon my return. I remember standing at the end of Main Street, tears streaming from eyes hidden behind sunglasses, thinking, "I can't believe I finally made it back."
It was a trip of many firsts. First trip as "the mom," and having responsibilities like sitting out with a scared child while everyone else rides Splash Mountain. First trip watching my children discover that Disneyland magic. First trip during a different season other than summer. First time to see Disneyland dressed for Christmas. First time to use a FastPass. First time to stand in multiple ride lines for less than 15 minutes each (quite a treat, when standing in line to ride Pirates of the Caribbean for 90 minutes was my norm). First time to meet longtime Disneyland cast member Oscar Martinez (has been there since 1956) and try his famous loaded baked potato soup at Carnation Cafe. First time to see the Disneyland property with the imposter park next door. ("Wow, it looks so different without the huge parking lot...I wonder if I'll ever like that new park that replaced it?") And the list goes on.
