A friend that I helped with Urban Challenge, Paul, works in the IT department at Disneyland, so he "signed in" for 3 of us. Awesome!
Long day - got up there about 10:15am, and went the whole day through, no naps for the kids. Weren't sure how they'd deal with that -- but they did GREAT. They didn't get nasty around the witching hour (~dinner), and made it all the way through to the fireworks show and snow at 7:45pm. Connor just BARELY made it....only minutes after plopping down in B.O.B (stroller) after the fireworks, he was OUT before we even got out through the front gates.
The quick recap:
- Rockets -- Connor's favorite from previous trip
- Ariel visit -- of course Avery really loves this
- Fantasyland Carousel
- Dumbo -- Avery's equivalent of Connor's love for rockets
- Tea cups -- luckily they didn't spin us too much :)
- Small World -- decorated really cool for the holidays, tons of lights, xmas trees, etc. Songs were even switched to mix in Jingle Bells, etc.
- Lunch at Buzz LightYear show -- another one of Connor's favorites (of course)
- Winnie the Pooh -- got fast pass since it's too crowded.
- Train around the park
- Visit with the characters: Tiger, Ior, Pooh. Avery wasn't too into seeing these guys up close and personal.
- Pirates of the Carribean -- Avery wasn't too sure about this one. Kinda dark and funny guys singing
- Winnie the Pooh -- this time we ride it with our fast pass, after a short delay when the ride was broken
- Jungle Cruise
- Autopia Cars -- Avery spotted these from the train ride. They were both CRAZY, giggling drivers.
- Dinner on Main Street, then back to Small World area for parade and fireworks.
- Kids on our shoulders (ugh) for the parade. Saw all the big names: Princesses, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Ariel, Buzz, Woody, Santa and his reindeer
- Fireworks were excellent. Synched with music -- fun.
- Finally, the SNOW. Really just bubbles, but kids were loving it. Avery put her hood up to not get the snow on her head.
