Disneyland 5

So many pictures.
This is Allary sitting in the "A" of "California" in front of California Adventure. It was too dark to get far enough away to get the whole letter, but you get the idea.


We were playing with our 3D glasses while we waited in the long line for Toy Story Mania.




This was our last day at Disneyland. We were trying to make sure we took all the classic shots.



And this is Allary after packing in all that fun!

Disneyland 4

... and more pictures.
This is us in front of the Grizzly River Rapids ride in California Adventure. (Allary was distracted by the High School Musical performance going on not too far away.)


She loved the little petting zoo.



Here she is getting drenched at the water fountains in A Bug's Land.


This is waiting in line for the new Toy Story Mania ride. The line was always really long, but it was so much fun.

Allary has seen all of the High School Musical movies and loves them.

Watching the HSM performance.

Oh poor Allary. We made her go on the Tower of Terror, mostly because I really wanted to ride it, but I didn't want to have to ride it by myself. It freaked her out, the drops took her breath away, and she cried when it was over. But, she only cried for a minute and I still think she was so brave to go on it and she forgot about it soon after when we made it up to her with a frozen treat. Check out her expression in this photo just after riding it.

Some more photos from ToonTown...




This is a short video of Allary having a blast at the Playhouse Disney show.

Disneyland 3

Here's some more Disneyland fun...

ToonTown...

We really wanted Allary to be able to go on some of the bigger rides and I knew she'd be brave enough to do so. The height requirement is 40" and Allary, without shoes, is 36" tall. Before we left on our trip, I measured her and measured her and fashioned her some special shoes that gave her those extra needed 4". I just put some folded up socks in the bottom of her tallest boots, and there you have it, 40". She was a great sport to have to keep switching shoes and she did great on most of the rides, not all, but most. Here she is with Jason in front of Thunder Mountain. She liked that one because it was a train and there were no monsters.


Speaking of being brave, this next photo is one of my favorites of all. I warned Allary before we left that it was Halloween Time at Disneyland and that some of the villains would be there. She is terrified of the queen from Snow White and the evil Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. She kept telling me she did NOT want to see them. (more on this later when I post all the many characters we met). So I saw this statue and made them pose by it for a photo. A little mean? Maybe, but you have to admit it's a great photo. It makes me laugh every time I look at it.


The Seven Dwarfs' cottage...

California Adventure...


The Pixar Parade in California Adventure... We actually liked this parade better than the one in Disneyland. Allary was dancing and waving and having a fantastic time.







Heimlich's Chew Chew Train...

Bumper Cars...


Just some silliness...

And more silliness with our bug-eyes while waiting for the Bug's Life movie...

Disneyland 2

This is Jason just outside of the Indiana Jones ride, his favorite. This jeep is actually from the first movie, or so the Disneyland ride worker said. Pretty cool.

These are just cute. :)

This was on Tom Sawyer's Island, or now it's called "Pirate's Lair" or something.



She is saying "Arrrrggggg!" as she sits atop the pirates' loot.
And again, just cute.




The Winnie the Pooh ride. Allary's very favorite ride. I rode this with her 7 times, yep, 7.

More Dumbo.


The castle at night. You can't really capture how cool it looks on camera.
The carousel.

My brave girl on Thunder Mountain..."the wildest ride in the wilderness!"


The Jungle Safari boats...

The parade...
