XD I remember how afraid I was of losing my sandals, too, although that was in a different theme park (Hershey Park, to be exact, which is much, MUCH closer to where I live). And the new Space Mountain is AMAZING. It wasn't supposed to be open when we went the second time, but they let a handful of us go on it, and it was just...wow. Much better than it was pre-renovations XD
Sounds like you had a lot of fun :3 I wonder if the fireworks show was any bit similar to the one we had for the park's 50th anniversary... (we got to see it twice, too) And my birthday's in winter, so not like I could get a birthday pin or anything XD
Though my parents are thinking about taking me to either British Columbia, Quebec, or someplace in the Caribbean.
