I had the most amazing time in California!!! First of all, we drove to Las Vegas and hung out there for a while. We went to the Cheesecake Factory, which was fabulous, and looked around Vegas for a while. I just have to say, that wasn't the most pleasant experience of my life. We were all glad to get out of Vegas. Anyway, we drove to Anaheim the next day. We checked into the Carousel Inn, which is an awesome place to stay! We then walked over to Disneyland to get our tickets at Will-Call. After that, we went to the beach for a while. When we got back, we ordered pizza and played games. The next day, we went to Disneyland with a stop at the Blue Bayou (the restaurant at the Pirates ride). It was fabulous, and I'll be going there every time I go to Disneyland. It was fun! We then stayed up most of the night making posters for the next day. Some of them included "Johnny Utah Loves You!", and "Sparrow For President!" At around 2:00 am, we went and got in line so we could get a good spot on the Red Carpet. We had about 150 people in front of us, which isn't too bad considering by the time we were done, we had about 4,000 people in back of us. We stayed in that line until 5:00 am, when they let us into the lines for entrance into the park. At 6:30 am, we were let into the park. We got lucky and got the front row right next to the red carpet. There we waited until about 5:30 that night. The stars had started to arrive. It's impossible to tell you who we saw, since I don't know half of their names, so I'll just tell you who we saw from the Pirates movies. The first person we saw was Gibbs. He looked so different, I almost didn't recognize him. Then, Norrington came by, and signed my autograph book! In no particular order, here are the rest that we saw... Tia Dalma (the weird witch lady), Barbossa with Jack the monkey, Governor Swann, Marty the dwarf, and Pintel (the pirate who says 'Ello Poppet). Toward the very end, Orlando Bloom ran past us, and so we thought that Johnny wouldn't be too far away. (incidentally, Keira wasn't there). About 20 minutes later, Johnny Depp came around the corner. He stopped right in front of us and gave us a chance to get pictures. HE WAS GORGEOUS!!!!! I still can't believe that I saw him. He was amazing, and I totally freaked out! Oh, I guess I do know some of them that I saw other than the pirates stars. I saw Hiro from Heroes, Martin Landau, Coby Bryant, Keith Richards, and many more.

ETA: We also saw the guy who plays Lord Cutler Beckett. He really is that short in real life.
