Today was not only our Disneyland day but it was also the day we got to get into the park an hour before it opened to the public. So, we were at the gates by 7:00am ready to go. We decided to hit Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage first. It was very cool and a great way to start our day. Next we walked over to the Matterhorn. In all the times I have been to Disneyland I had never been on the Matterhorn so that was very fun. Logan loved/was scared about the Abominable Snowman, but really liked the ride. Then we headed over to Adventureland to ride Indiana Jones and go on Tarzan's Treehouse. Next it was off to my favorite ride, Splash Mountain. I actually thought the ride was closed because there was no line, but the park still hadn't opened so we were just able to go right on! Perfection! Unfortunately, Logan jerked his head back when we were headed down the big drop and hurt his neck. So, he walked away from Splash Mountain never wanting to go on that ride again. It broke my heart. :o( Hopefully next time we go, he'll want to try it again. So, because we had a hurt, upset boy on our hands, we thought we better go on something lowkey, so we hit the Storybrook Land Canal Boats. It was the perfect relaxing ride for Logan to get geared up to try some more things. We decided to hit ToonTown next and go on Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, Gadget's Go Coaster, Donald's Boat, and Chip 'n Dale's Treehouse. We also grabbed some lunch and then saw Goofy. From there we headed over to the Haunted Mansion. Logan was SO excited to go on the Haunted Mansion, but when it began he got pretty freaked out and I was afraid we'd have to leave, but then he calmed down and really ended up liking the ride. At that point we were all feeling really exhausted and decided to head back to the hotel for a break. I told Logan to lay down and close his eyes for just a few minutes and lo and behold 2 and 1/2 hours later all three of us were waking up. Apparently we all needed a break. We freshened up and headed back to Downtown Disney for dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. Coolest place ever!!! It was by far the best meal Logan ate the entire trip, my food was delicious as well, and the atmosphere was amazing!!! SO glad we went. After dinner we headed back to Disneyland and went on The Pirates of the Caribbean ride and watched the fireworks show. Another amazing day. We only saw one character today, but went on a ton of rides and had a blast!
On our bobsled about to go on the Matterhorn!
Tarzan's Treehouse was way cool and there was nobody on it but us!!! The perks of getting in early!
Getting ready to ride Indiana Jones.
We didn't go on the teacups, but we jumped into this one for a quick pic.
Neither Logan nor I had any desire to go on Dumbo (thank goodness because the line was outrageous), but I couldn't resist snapping his picture with Dumbo.
I love this picture of the three of us on Main Street at night. So fun!
Goofy was so fun and we just caught the end of his time out and about.
The firework show was spectacular and we ended up sitting by a woman who lives about 20 miles from us! It really is a small world after all! :o)
