Vacation Day 5- Disneyland Day 1

We finally made it to Disneyland. We got there right after the park opened and picked up our tickets and went in. We spent the first couple of hours right on Main Street taking loads of pictures with some of our favorite characters. We got to see Mickey, Pluto, Donald, Max, Gepetto, Pinoccio, the Queen of Hearts and the White Rabbit, Dale and Mary Poppins and Bert right off the bat. We saw Alice too but didn't manage to get in her line fast enough.

After we finally got past there, we got to head over to Tomorrowland and see the Star Wars training academy show, and go on the rocket ride and the Buzz Lightyear ride. Then a quick stop for lunch. After lunch we headed toward the castle and got to see a Mary Poppins street show on the way. Then finally hit a few more rides. We made it to Dumbo, the teacups, and the carousel then up to Toon Town for some fun up there. They rode the Tailspin roller coaster and we all went on the Roger Rabbit ride. Then as luck would have it, we ran into Goofy up there as well.

We then went back toward the front of the park and took a break on some benches where the twins fell asleep for a nap after a long day. After letting them nap for a while, we went walking to Downtown Disney where we took in the sights there and got to meet up with a cousin of mine that lives in Cali, also named Rebecca Schade whom I had never met in person. She brought along her neice Kymberly and her roomate Shari. It was a really fun visit and she spoiled all my kids with goodies from her work with the Fire Authority for Orange County. They got firefighter hats, stuffed dogs, T shirts and other various toys.

We then went over to California Adventure park and took in the Worlds of Color show. We were too far back for my camera to get any good pictures, but it was absolutely beautiful. After it was over we boarded the shuttle bus back to our hotel for some rest so we can go back and do it again tomorrow!
