Disneyland Day 1

Today we went to Disneyland and California Adventure. We started off the morning super early, arriving at the parking structure right before it opened at 6:30am. We got the most amazing parking. Can you see how close to the tram we were?

We got to enter the park at 7am for Magic Morning hours and headed right in.

Our first ride was Astro Blasters. Peter loved it!!!!

We then headed to Fantasyland. Peter and Carlie spent most of their day in the stroller which I think was a good thing.

We went on Peter Pan, Dumbo, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (bad idea for Carlie), and Pinocchio.

We have been watching all of the Disney classic movies and reading the stories. Peter is obsessed with the Sword and the Stone right now.

Carlie wanted in on the fun too.

We then headed over to It's a Small World and was shocked to find no line.

It was all decked out for Christmas.

The decorations were great.

We did Nemo's Underwater adventure after that. That was the first ride that we stood in any line for. Then we headed off to Toon Town.

Of course, we went to Mickey's House and met him. Peter loved meeting him. Carlie was nervous.

Out side of Toon Town, they had their organizations that the toons are involved with. IMG_8862.jpg

We then headed off to Pirates of the Caribbean.

And checked out the Haunted Mansion. We have not gone on it yet, but we have a few more days left to go.

Lunch was next. We had a bad server experience but the chef came out and talked to us and made Peter a special chicken chunk "hot dog". It was tasty and very well thought out.

Carlie enjoyed a hotdog.

Then we headed to California Adventures. Not much there currently because of so much construction. The kids did enjoy seeing Lightening McQueen.

Or favorite two activities were the Monsters Inc. ride and the Talking to Crush. It was very interactive and lots of fun.

We then headed back to Disneyland because there was not enough activities for the kids at California Adventures.

Many of the rides were over an hour wait. We ended up walking around a lot and seeing what was available. We ended up doing Astro Blasters again. Peter admitted that it had scared him the first time but was lots of fun. We enjoyed seeing all of the Christmas lights.

We went on a final ride of the Jungle Cruise. It was lots of fun in the dark.
Then we decided 12 hours in the park was enough and headed to the entrance.

We had such a wonderful day but are exhausted now.
