Disneyland 1

This is the first part of our trip to Disneyland. I am sorry to bore you with the details that are very exciting to us, but I'm making a book out of our blog and I just gotta. Walking into Disneyland the first day is probably the most nostalgic part. You know, tickets in our hands, does everyone have their ticket, where should we start, which ride first, will we still feel the magic as we walk in the doors? And then of course we do and the fun begins and it will last for three whole days.

 Wakie, Wakie,  "We're going to Disneyland.  We're going to Disneyland."

  It's a Small World first.

They have no idea what is going to happen to them as soon as they get on that ride.

 Here's a good look at Jeff's scraped face after healing for three days.

  After this ride, Natalie exclaimed, "  That was sooooooo Awesome!!!"  Music to my ears. 

                                                                            

The Mark Twain River Boat gave us a look at Tom Sawyer island. 

Thunder Mountain Railroad was voted the favorite ride in Disneyland. You know how they make you feel like a VIP. One ticket taker gave us a nights worth of fast passes for this ride. We couldn't even use them all and shared the wealth.

Mary Poppins and Bert.

 

Waiting for Mickey was the longest line. We waited for about an hour+. Luckily we met some nice people from Sacramento that helped us pass the time.

You never know how your children are going to act around celebrities. Olivia tried to tickle under Mickey's chin and said, "Tickle, tickle." Typical behavior. ha

Minnie's line wasn't so bad, but we had to get those autographs. It really is one of my favorite parts of the trip, to gather autographs for the little girls.

Olivia tried to feel Goofy's Whiskers. Who wouldn't?


















 Kristen's very favorite thing was Tom Sawyer's island, which no one else was interested in except Nat. They didn't know what they were missing. It has improved for those of you who have been in the past.

A cage made of human bones and skulls.

The barrel bridge was pretty hard to walk on, but really fun.

Treasure!!!

Waiting for us to get off guess? Thunder Mountain Railroad.

The second day we discovered Space Mountain. Then it became our favorite Disneyland ride with Splash Mountain and Pirates and Thunder Mountain.

Fantasy Land. Ya gotta do it.

 What else are you going to do while waiting to ride Snow White

In California Adventure, on the second day, we went straight to the Grizzly Rapids, and feeling confident did not wear our rain garb. It was a mistake as we were dripping for a few hours, then just wet.

 

The girls and Cindi. I'm pretty sure she remembered us from two years ago.
