Disneyland


Bobby is almost 3.5 so he has earned his trip to Disneyland from Grammy. YAY.  We had a lot of fun and as it's only about 20 miles away, were able to make a day trip without hotels, airfare or food costs! Just the crazy ticket prices and parking.  Since we went the day after Halloween (i.e. a late night) we had a casual morning and got there a bit before 11am (they open at 10).

We took it casually and luckily most of the rides are very chill and Jack could go on a lot of them.  It was also a great weather day for it and even better, there were no lines on pretty much everything. The worst wait was the jungle cruise, so I took that time to feed Jack and skip waiting in line.  



Bobby loved driving dumbo and the rocket ships up and down.  He spun the teacups fast. Liked the Pirates and Haunted House (even though those rides have changed so much!) But he went on the Buzz Lightyear one three times! in a row.  It was the gun shooting blaster part. He was one inch too short for Splash Mountain, which was fine b/c you have to sit in your own seat for that and I wasn't comfortable with that. It's a Small World was closed which was a bummer and they were putting up Christmas decorations on the castle.

Loved the Go Merry Round

Faster!
Had ZERO desire to get his picture taken with any characters.  Which is good because they were damn hard to find. We saw Goofy and Pluto in the front square, one when we came in and one on the way out when he was super tired. Aladdin and the genie were in a little hut and Bobby went nowhere near them.  We spied Mickey in a corner with a tiny line right before the nightly parade and Bobby was cranky by that point and adamant about not waiting, but Jack and I wanted a picture and by the time we got to the front of the line, Bobby decided to join us luckily.

All Bobby asked for all day was a balloon and it was right at the very end, but we kept on walking and he got sad about that. We left around 6:15 I think, so it was a full day but we definitely couldn't stretch it into the 7pm parade. 
THANK YOU GRAMMY. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! WE ARE SO LUCKY.

  1. What a wonderful childhood experience! Rick was 18 months old and Rob was 3 yrs. for their first trip to Disneyworld in Florida, and 1-1/2 years later when we moved to the west coast, they first went to Disneyland. Great memories.
