Day Four Disneyland Trip

Nov. 24,2009 Tuesday.
We started out at 6:30 in the morning! We had early bird passes so we got in the park a whole hour before anyone else.( those w/o passes that is) It was so quiet and nice! We went right to the Nemo ride because it is usually a 2 hour wait. We got right on. It was pretty amazing being in a 'submarine' The kids were so excited.

After that I ran to Space Mountain with the two oldest and did that one again. Tony and Lily waited in line for Autotopia. Poor Jaxson had his own car and just couldn't get the hang of it so he kept stopping and caused a major traffic jam.

Tony and Jaxson headed off to Haunted Mansion while Sarah,Lily and I waited in line1 Hour to see Tinkerbell and Friends. Lily was SOOOO awnry by the time we got to the end she didn't want to have her picture with Tinkerbell. I was pretty ticked myself! Waiting in line for a PICTURE! GRRR I hope you enjoy them.

Sarah was thrilled to hear the charactures tell her she looked just like 'Vidia' one of the fairies.

We girls finally caught up with Tony and Jaxson waiting with fast passes at Indiana Jones ride. This was the only ride that Lily could not go on. By this time Lily was having a MAJOR meltdown. She was screaming that all she wanted was to BUY food. Not eat the food from our backpack. She wanted something from a store!!! So Tony was a sweetheart and stayed with the screaming child while the rest of us went on the ride. Jaxson hated it. He thought it was WAY to scary. Sarah on the other hand was laughing through it. I must admit, I am of Jaxson's persuasion.

When we got off the ride and got to Tony, Lily had fallen asleep. So, Tony and Sarah were able to use the switch pass and run up to the front of the ride. SO NICE!! Once They were done Sarah and I went through Tarzans Treehouse, then on the Jungle cruise. After that we got back just as Lily was waking up. 2 hour naps are a definite must if you are on day 3 of Disneyland and you are only 3 years old. She was much nicer but still determined to have her Store bought lunch.

And here it is... Breakfast for lunch. And it only cost and ARM AND A LEG!! At least she was happy and that is the point. right?

After Lunch we went over to Splash Mountain. We hadn't done this ride yet. This picture is of our 1st time going on it. The kids loved it so much that they all begged to go again. So we got a fast pass and went back a little later that day. This video was taken of the second ride.

The kids had been saving up for a long time and by this 3 day in the park their money was burning a hole in their pockets. So we went to the perfect Girl store. Right next to the Castle was a store that has everything a little girl could want in it. Sarah finnally chose a watch and some rings, and Lily chose to buy a Belle polly pocket. These weighty decisions took almost an hour to make. (large sigh)

While over in Fantasyland we went on Mr Toads wild ride. The wait was ridiculous and the kids were completely devestated that it was just a car ride. Who can blame them after going on Splash Mountain right?

As we made our way back to Splash Mountain we ran into this great Cowboy. He actually turned out to be LDS. He had a bunch of jokes and was really funny. He was amazing with the rope too.

By 4 0'clock we had done all the rides we wanted in Disneyland, so we decided to go back over to California Adventure and catch a few more we hadn't done. We started with Monstropolis. Another Okay one.

This picture is us waiting for the Muppets 3-D. That was actually really Great. Tony and I got a big kick out of it cause the Muppets was our era but the kids liked the 3-D part.

We then went over to the Tower of Terror. We all (not Lily) agreed that this was our favorite ride. It is basically like the rocket at Lagoon but you are in a dark room and you can't quiet tell if you are going up or not then all of a sudden you see the sky and you DROP! It does this several times. Lily was so funny during it. She loved it but said that Splash Mountain was the best.

Here is the picture. You can't see to great but Lily's eyes are huge and Sarah is looking terrified! So Funny!!

After that we went into Downtown Disney and ate dinner. Yummy Mexican. Then Jaxson found his dream store. LEGO"S This Darth Vader is made out of legos! There was also a giraffe behind Jaxson. You can just see the legs. It was Huge! All out of Lego's. He was finally able to use his money and buy something.

Tony wanted to see Fantasia on the River so we went back into Disneyland, found a great seat and waited.... for an hour. It was worth it and the kids were great to wait. They loved it the show is amazing! After that we went back to the Condo's. This was our parting shot of Disneyland. The Tree. The whole place is decorated to the hilt. It is truely magical.
