When our friends Greg and Melanie found out that the kids and I had never been to a theme park, they offered to take us to Disneyland with his employee guest passes! We took them up on their offer on Saturday. I wore my detested SI joint belt and took both my nausea meds before we hit the park, and I had minimal hip pain and no nausea the whole day!
Tommy’s favorite ride was getting to drive his own car!
Elizabeth’s favorite ride was the Carousel. She named her horse Jingle Bell.
The girls don’t really know who Minnie Mouse is, but they thought her house was cool!
The other favorite of all three was the Winnie the Pooh ride–probably because it’s the only ride movie they’d seen! Afterwards, they were super excited to meet Eeyore.
They lasted from opening at 8 am until 3:30 with no naps. Susie kind of lost it the last hour, but all in all, we were pleasantly surprised at how well it went!
Many thanks to Greg and Melanie for a fun California experience!
I would really like to take my kids to the Cars part. Isn’t that in California adventure? Or maybe it is its own park? Can’t remember.
Were there any Lightening McQueen things?!?! I went to Disneyland my senior year when our class took a trip to California. It was fun! I’m so glad you were able to go…what a happy memory for the kids! 🙂
There is indeed a whole Cars Land in California Adventure park across the street, but we decided to do the classic oldschool Disneyland for the first trip. The other park does sound like total Cars heaven for little boys!
