Last night Brad, myself, and our good friends Jason and Becca went to Disneyland. Disneyland is always amazing during this time of year! We first went to California Adventure for dinner (clam chowder bread bowls! yumm!) After dinner we went on the rollercoaster, California Screaming. We headed over to Disneyland to see when the Candlelight event would be starting. We found out it started at 8pm so we had a few hours to spare. We tried to go on It's a Small World but the line was over an hour so we walked around and by that then it was time to head to Main Street for the event.
The event started with all of the lights off on Main Street and a 650 choir walked down Main Street each person holding a candle. They had a huge grandstand set up by the train station on Main Street for the choir plus a complete orchestra with trumpets on the very top of the train station. Jon Voight narrated the story from the Bible of Jesus' birth. And between each verse the orchestra would perform a Christmas song. I was pretty surprised Disneyland would put on such an event. Disneyland is pretty secular. I really enjoyed it and definitely intend on being a part of it next year too!
