DISNEYLAND

Needless to say, we had so much fun at Disneyland. The girls loved it and I think I was having more fun most of the time then they were. We got to California Thursday afternoon and decided to go to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner and just spend time at Downtown Disney instead of trying to go to Disneyland. The girls also wanted to go swimming at the hotel so we did that too.
Friday we went to Disneyland and stayed mostly in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. Because we had 4 days we decided to break up the park instead of trying to rush around and see everything all in one day.
The girls loved all the rides. Dumbo, Tea Cups, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, and the Monorail we among the favorites. Surprisingly the Mattorhorn was Mylies favorite ride to go on. She kept asking to go on it again and again to see the Yetti that lives in the mountain. Harley didn't like it so much, but still went on it for Mylie. They loved driving the cars in Autotopia and the new Nemo Submarine ride was a favorite. Besides the Haunted Mansion, I don't think there was a ride they didn't like. Harley was really scared on the Haunted Mansion and Mylie thought it was funny, go figure.
We were able to go into Toon Town early one day, which was so much fun. We saw a show that Mickey and gang put on and got to ride on the rides with no wait. Gadgets Go Coaster was so fun for the girls. It's just a little roller coaster, but they get enough of a thrill to make it exciting, but short enough not to scare them too much. We got to meet all the characters, except Donald Duck. We had to track him down on our last day there to finally get his autograph. He is one hard duck to find!!!
California Adventure park was great. Not too many rides for Mylie, but the ones we did get on were amazing. I highly recommend Toy Story Midway Mania. It is such a great ride. It's a 4-D ride. While you wear 3D glasses you are riding in a car and playing midway games, like ring toss and baseball throw. It was so much fun. That was the longest line we had to wait in which was probably 25-30 min. Not too bad for Disneyland. Harley's Favorite ride in California Adventure was the whitewater raft ride, Grizzly Run or Grizzly Rapids. Her and Jer went on it 2 times, because their was no line and the convinced me to go. They were not too wet so I did. Needless to say I was in the front every drop and got soaked. Not so fun, but seeing Harley laugh and giggle the whole time was worth the wet jeans.
We did so many things and had a blast. We are hoping to go again soon. The only negative, Pirates of the Carribean was closed. That is always my favorite ride. I had to go by myself on Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain, nobody wanted to go with me. We did have such a great time together. It was sad when we got back to have to go back to "normal". I will post the pictures in slide shows when I get them all off my card and Jer's phone. But will post them before the day is over.
But one for now . . . . .
