Re: anyone in LA Anahiem area this weekend?

Recap on the weekend:
Saturday early a.m. you have to hit the Adams Donut shop on Adams in Huntington Beach, its a must see.

C.A.R.S. at California Adventure is " blow your mind if your an automotive nut" experience and a definate must see.

The Disney Tinkerbell run was a well thoughht out and executed event that could never be topped by anyone other than Disney. Anyone who is a runner and likes anything Disney should attend this on your bucket list. It's you against a 3 hour and 30 minute clock starting at 4am with 10-12,000 like minded maniacs dressed in fairy attire and who paid $150 per just to run , not including all things Disney and the weekend.


You line up by your avaerage recorded 3k, 5k, 10k times in gates and the race starts.
They shoot up a bunch of fireworks to start .



Once your gate takes off , you and several thousand work your way around Disney along the bordering streets and then enter through the guarded Cast Member Entrance. You get to see the behind the scenes horse stables, fire department, kitchen facilities etc and they are spotless clean. All of the rides are going, neon lit up, cast members are lined up through the park, princesses and characters waiving. There are people/family/friends cheering you on holdng inspirational sigs like " cancer hurts worse", " you trained harder than this" , " go! Tinkerbell is with you"

Once you have come off your adreinalin high and cross the finish line, you get a really cool medal ( that airport tsa security had to inspect as they were seeing thousands of them in carry on luggage lol)
