The following was written last night:

We did it, we were at Disneyland this morning :) I can't say we saw the ceremony as it was near impossible to really consider just standing there for all that time with a 6 year old and 3 month old. But we were there and that's all I really care about. I made sure my date stamp was on for all my photos. The golden cars are cool, some attractions have both a golden car out front and one on the ride itself to ride in. We were not trying to find the 50 hidden golden Mickey's (saving that project for another day) but did see roughly 20. It rained a hard sprinkle off and on, nothing serious. We actually rode attractions and walked onto everything we rode. The lines for food, merchandise and pin locations were insane. I made my one purchase at the Autopia shop though and did it while the ceremony was going and there was no line. We bought the special penny holder, autograph book and antenna toppers. My 6 year old already had her golden ears and the rest of us will buy them before the actual birthday.
The park and castle are gorgeous, all the little touches are so magical. We'll be heading back on Monday so we can see everything without all the camera crews in the way. We didn't wait for the parade either since people started sitting down for it 3 hours early.
Like I said, I just wanted to be there. We'll get to all the special things as time goes on. We do go just about every week so we don't feel rushed.
