Just engaged on the Lilly Belle

James "popped the question" while we were in Disneyland last week on the Lilly Belle, with the help of our friend Billy who works for Disneyland.

Lilly Belle has been retired from day to day passenger service and has been made the show train so people can't line up to get into the car. Celebrities and royalty have ridden in the car.

Here is our entire group. I'm in the middle, James is to me left, his mother, Robin behind him and his father, Rich to my right, and my mother, Sandie to my far right.

Billy telling us about the different engines to the trains, while we wait for the train with the Lilly Belle car to come in. The car is just the next land (Tomorrowland).

Inside the car is a guest book for any of the special riders to sign. There wasn't much room left, but I found half a page left so everyone in our party to sign. The other thing now is that I forgot to take a photo of the page we signed.
