More of Disneyland



I just love Disneyland.  We've only been twice with the kids, but both times we had a really good day.  This time as we walked into the park, Anthony commented how nice it was that we were together as a family.  Last time we went, the baby was in the NICU!

Each person in our family gets to pick one thing they want to do most.  After that, its all up in the air.  My pick was the parade, Bob's was the Indiana Jones Ride, Anthony's pick was the Matterhorn (with a visit to Elsa as a second pick).  We decided to wait awhile and see what to pick for Richie.

As we walked through the gate, who did we see but the Great Mouse Himself.  Bob immediately declared that was Richie's pick.  Richie actually enjoyed Minnie better, she was a flirt!

Bob and Anthony went to ride the Matterhorn (twice), while I stood in line for a FastPass to see Elsa.  We did the storybookland boats, then Richie slept in the Ergo for awhile while we all rode the Alice in Wonderland Ride and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.  Yes, the baby slept through Mr. Toad's!

Everyone did get their favorites in.  We all enjoyed the parade after Bob and Anthony waited in line over an hour to meet with the princesses.  During that time I took the baby to ride the carousel and the Casey Jr. Train.
I have to say, Disneyland is by FAR my favorite amusement park.  Yes, its got the magic and all that.  But its more.  It is perfect for our family!  Thanks to the rider switch passes, both parents were able to ride the roller coasters easily.  But even more than that, the baby could ride EVERYTHING, even while sleeping!  Well, everything except the roller coasters.  He's old enough to know he likes rides, and old enough to be sad if he misses out.  At Disneyland, he didn't have to miss out.  (Unlike Legoland, the park that claims to cater to small people and has TWO rides that the poor kid can ride.)
