We wanted to visit Disneyland again during their
50th Anniversary celebration. We hopped onto an early morning Alaska Airlines
flight and were in the park by 2pm. This time Drew is tall enough for
every ride but one.

|
| We started the morning with a character breakfast with Minnie and Friends,
where Alexa saw her favorite (Minnie), Drew saw his favorite (Dale), and
Dan saw his favorite (Tigger). |
|
| Early Entry is great, it let's us hit a lot of rides without much wait.
You pay the price, as you have to stay at a Disney Hotel and they are expensive,
but the park is a lot less crowded at the time. We spent the afternoon in
California Adventures. |
|
| Mickey's Toontown was the first destination thanks to Early Entry again.
Both kids again saw their favorite people (well, besides Mom and Dad!).
We hit their favorite ride again - Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. We saw
Playhouse Disney Live in California Adventures, where Drew got to be part
of the beginning of the show. We finished up with dinner at Goofy's Kitchen
where everyone had a great time eating tons of food and there were lots
of characters. The kids ate so much dessert that they were not sleepy, so
we went swimming for about an hour to wear them out for the night. |
|
| Early Entry for Fantasyland allowed Lex to hit her favorites of Dumbo
and the carousel. Lines were starting to get bad this Thursday as the park
was getting more crowded. Drew got to make some cookies, and you know how
he loves his cooking. With the nice weather and crowds we decided to go
over to California Adventures. Drew rode the water ride twice and was pretty
wet, so he got a new T-shirt out of it. As the day wound down it was back
to Main Street USA to catch the parade. We also got to meet Mickey Mouse
and get a great picture with him. |
|
| The last day was Friday, and boy was it busy. The kids were also just
flat worn out. We did catch a few rides, a couple of characters, and a couple
of family photo opportunities. We ate dinner at the ESPN Zone in Downtown
Disney, which has the best kids menu we have seen at any restaurant anywhere.
The adult food was great too! |
