Disneyland Day 3

Pluto!

Waiting in a long line for the Princess Meet and Greet.

 

Grizzly River Rapids.

Waiting in line for Toy Story Mania.

Paige, Allary, and Ally.

Tyler, Maddy, Haley, Jenna, and Trisha.

Jacob, Chase, Megan, Tyler, Bryson, Cody, and Tanner.

We waited in line for Jesse, which Allary was VERY excited about. (I mean c'mon, she's a big

enough fan that she had a Jesse themed birthday party). But, as soon as we got to the front of the line,

Jesse left. Allary didn't get her autograph, but she did get a quick hug and I quickly snapped this

photo so we'd at least have something.

Oh well, at least Woody came to take her spot and we got his autograph and a photo.

Allary and Ally on Heimlich's Chew-Chew Train. The kids and a select few adults, including myself, spent a good portion of the day in a Bug's Land while the rest of the adults and big kids rode some bigger rides. Heimlich's Chew-Chew Train is inexplicably one of the younger kids' favorites and so sadly, I did ride it more than just once.



Me and Travis on Heimlich's Chew-Chew Train. Woohoo!

Disneyland Day 2

Allary was very into meeting the characters again this trip. I'm not sure how many more years that will last, but for now, it's all very exciting. She was most excited to see Rapunzel this trip. So, we went and waited in a looooong line to get to meet her. I can't remember how long we waited, but it was over an hour.  She had been telling me for months that she wanted to meet Flynn Rider also and when she did she was going to ask him to show her "the smolder." I wasn't positive if she was going to get to meet Flynn Rider as well, but we lucked out. The whole thing was just so cute and funny. Allary was so excited to meet them, then got all shy and star-struck when we actually got in there. She paid more attention to Flynn than to Rapunzel...hmmm...and on the way out, she told me "Mom, Flynn was really handsome wasn't he?" Funny girl. She did indeed ask to see the smolder, to which he obliged, warning her that it may cause her to swoon or faint or even fall in love with him. Her reaction was a shy smile and slight blush. He laughed and said it may take affect later. Very funny.

One of Allary's favorite rides, Winnie the Pooh.

A long line of us waiting to ride The Haunted Mansion.

I don't know why we didn't take very many pictures on Day 2, but don't worry, I have much more to come.

Disneyland Day 1

Back in October, we went to Disneyland for a fun family reunion with my side of the family. We had a blast! And, I have tons of photos, so here are photos beginning with just day 1.

 It's tradition for us that we head straight to Dumbo for our first ride. This may change as Allary gets older, but it's a classic and it puts us in the Disney spirit.

 It was Halloween-Time, so of course the villains were out and about. Above is Sheriff Nottingham from Robin Hood.

 Jafar.

 And, one of Allary's favorite characters from her favorite movie... Captain Hook.

 It's a Small World.

 The Mouse.

 Riding Alice in Wonderland with Trisha and Paige.

 With Jenna and Paige.

 The rocket ship things in California Adventure.

 Toy Story Mania.

 3D glasses for Toy Story Mania.

 3D glasses for "It's a Bug's Life" show.
