Today was an adventure straight out of a Disney movie! The day started with the cheery sounds of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme blasting at 6:00 AM, courtesy of an over-enthusiastic alarm clock (Dallas). As we groggily gathered our senses, Disney princess songs echoed through the halls, setting the tone for an epic day ahead!
Now, boarding the bus was its own mini-adventure. Some of us (Garret, Cooper, Matthew, Ashley, Bella, and a few others) took a detour into the wrong vehicles, briefly causing a comical mix-up reminiscent of a scene from a classic Disney mix-up plot.
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!
with out beach day done, trip one is ready to take on DISNEYLAND!

S-L-U-M-P-E-D, whats that spell??
cooks might have miscalculated how much cream cheese to buy... dry bagels for the win!
Dallas miraculously herded all 88 of us straight into the heart-pounding adventures of Space Mountain, Astro Blasters, and the Indiana Jones thrill ride!
Our leaders-turned-paparazzi insisted on snapping 20,456 bajillion photos before we split into smaller squads to conquer the park. Groups debated forever trying to decide which scorching hot line to endure next, but luckily, the park as a whole wasn't too crowded!
we got our tickets and are ready to roll
Jack is prepped for the day

Despite enduring some questionable driving skills on Smugglers Run, technical glitches on rides, and getting a bit of Matterhorn-induced whiplash, we refused to let anything dampen our spirits during our lightning-fast visit!
The notorious Rise of the Resistance took the crown for sketchiest ride of the day, breaking down THREE times and necessitating a rescue mission for nearly half of our brave TWBers. Yet, undeterred by mishaps, our fearless interviewers (Ana, Reed, Evan) managed to gather valuable data on everyone's favorite thrills of the day. Space Mountain, Rise of the Resistance (despite its challenges), and the wild Matterhorn topped the charts!
Today, TWBer’s were the primary consumers in the churros, dole whip, and mickey mouse ice cream industries. after a morning of not so cream cheesed bagels, our TWBers chowed down on some overpriced Disney grub (it was delicious regardless of the price). Luis even managed to get a hold of 7 purple mystery drinks from across the park!
ready to have a magical day??
Time for Indiana Jones!
Trip 1 was convinced that Grant was really the man hanging from the rope...
Disney Dallas is next level
#hackedbutmakeitdisney!
lightsabers galore, may or may not be foreshadowing something
Speaking of splurges, let's dive into the world of Disney souvenirs! Some of the lads went all out, dropping their allowances on $250 real plastic metal lightsabers (yes, they light up!). Taylor opted for a personalized keychain, while plenty of others snagged classic Disney tees.
In a true act of friendship, Tucker surprised Caleb with a Minnie Mouse t-shirt. Meanwhile, after an epic scavenger hunt, MC, Scarlett, and Charlie emerged victorious in their quest for Disney postcards. Sure, they were overpriced, but who could resist those magical memories? They ended up snagging a cool 10 postcards each (check your mailbox!)
Guess the dwarf!

Thank you magic carpet express!
After soaking up a full day of Disney enchantment (complete with Grant's surprise cameo!), Dallas faced the daunting task of taming a bus packed with overtired teens. Our grand finale. was a spontaneous male acapella performance of, well, let's just say some interesting song choices!
Now, we're eagerly anticipating showers and diving headfirst into our sleeping bags. Tomorrow's long drives will definitely be prime time for catching up on some well-deserved zzz's!
Catch ya tomorrow in the infamous 90210 :)
Goodnight, friends and fam! Love ya, mean it!
