A week ago today was my birthday! With everyones schedules and other things, it ended up being about a week long of Birthday hoopla (and ton's of yummy cake!!), which isen't a normal thing for me, but it was fun! I am sure some of you have heard of the pro-mo Disneyland is doing where you get in the park free on your Birthday! Sounds too good to be true? Like there should be a catch, because come on, it's Disneyland! But, It is JUST what it says! Totally free on your Birthday! Since I already have a pass I was able to get the dollar amount of a one day, one park admission---$69 dollars free on a 'Disney Fun Card', for me to spend....when ever & just on merchandise, you can't use it on food. You just register {here} online, and go to any ticket both with a print out of the e-mail they send you on your Birthday, ID & you are in! Pretty cool huh?!

Me with my loaded up Birthday fun card!

Us getting on Star Tours--It was freakishly busy on my Birthday, so we didn't end up staying too long!

On Wednesday we went out the dinner with my parents at the Claim Jumper in South Coast Plaza---and then went to Baskin Robins down the hill from their house to pick out an Ice Cream cake---a tradition that I have done for my Birthday for 20 years! (yikes!, I don't feel old enough to have a 20 year old tradition!)

Mmmm...Cookie dough ice cream and chocolate cake!

Dad cutting the cake!

Since Monday night was jam packed, we thought we would have a do-over on Saturday night---I know, your thinking "If Monday night was crazy, what makes you think Saturday night would be a good do-over night!?" shockingly it was not that busy! =) But before we went into the park, we ate at the ESPN Zone in Down Town Disney! For some reason I had a craving for their BBQ pizza---ran the idea past Brody, and of course he was up for it, the Cardinals were playing on the BIG screen!! =)

We totally lucked out and were seated RIGHT in fount of the gigantic big screen TV that had 12 smaller TV's around it and text boxes with other sports...type...info on them! Next to our table was a row of people eating and enjoying the game in big leather recliners! It cracked us up!!

Best BBQ pizza ever!!

It was such a blast & the food is SO good!! The place was full of Cardinals fans, and every time they scored or anything good happened the place roared! =) We loved it! And will diffidently be going back soon!!---doesn't this sort of remind you of a NASA control room? =)

We parked by the big Parking structure, but out side of it, the corner opposite the RV parking, closest to Down Town Disney & walked across the street to the restaurant--& then took the Monorail into the park! It was quick and so easy! If you are ever wondering a good way to miss all the tram crowds, this worked great! =)

We thought we would make it a night of going on rides we haven't been on in a long time! Amongst those was one we have never been on together (or since we were kids for that matter), Casey Jr. Circus Train! We sat in the Monkey cage...we are pretty simply entertained!=)

It was a really fun night! A nice do-over from Mondays crowdedness! Also it was such a great Birthday!! A BIG "Thank you!" again, to everyone for the Birthday calls, cards, gifts, texts, Facebook messages and so much more (also to Malias for the cute Birthday post!)! Love you all!

PS- I gave my Mom's blog a quick little make-over. If you have not started checking up on her blog, you really should! =)
