Disneyland


We started our Spring Break with a quick trip to Disneyland. Our first day wasn't our best day, but it was great to be on vacation. Unfortunately It's A Small World was closed, so we walked around, met some characters, rode the train, went to the Tiki room, had some lunch and headed back to the hotel. We stayed at the hotel for a quick swim and a nap. Later that night, Jack, Mike, and I headed back to California Adventure for a few quick rides and the Electrical Parade. It was everything I remembered it to be.
Day 2 was much better. We had a "Magic Morning" entry and got into the park an hour earlier than the regular guests. Kate's first Fantasyland ride was Dumbo. She loved it. The lines were so short that morning we rode each ride twice. It's A Small World was open! We enjoyed looking for the new characters that they have added this year. Kate loved the ride and music so much, that she is still singing It's a Small World at least ten times a day. We did some of the bigger rides too like Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Carribean, and the Haunted House. We were thrilled that we had a better day.
Day 3 was catch up day to do the things we hadn't gotten to. We did the Buzz Lightyear ride and Jack was chosen to do the Jedi Training Academy. He had to fight Darth Mal. We are pretty confident that with a little more training he will soon have Jedi status. Jack also started his pin trading/collecting with the employee's at Disneyland. He was thrilled to find 2 hidden Mickey pins which he now treasures. We wrapped things up at lunchtime and made our way back south. We look forward to another visit soon especially now that we know our little girl loves Disneyland as much as we do!
Ready For Disneyland!
