More Tales from Disneyland
DominicsMom has provided a more detailed account of the kid's time in Disneyland:
We finally took the kids for their 1st trip to Disneyland!! We all had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, Daddy couldn’t be there, but the kids had a wonderful time anyway.
We immediately rode the train around to Tomorrowland. We got off there and went straight to the Nemo submarine ride. We had to wait about 30 minutes (maybe a little less) and that was the longest we waited all day!!!
Once we got on Nemo it was a little dark inside, but the kids seemed fine. Then, Jocelyn spotted Dory. Result: “Dory, Dory. I see Dory!”…mind you, this is said as loud as she possibly can. That’s OK, there were others kids doing the same thing!
As we were headed to Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters, Dominic spotted Star Tours. He was not going any further until he rode the Star Wars ride. Jocelyn was too small, so I took Dominic alone. This is the one that Daddy should have been there for!! Dominic loved it and wanted to go again. But since Joss was waiting for us, we went to Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters. I had no idea about this ride and it proved to be the best surprise. Great ride!! There are laser guns to shoot targets all the way through the ride. I almost liked this one as much as Dominic.
Then we headed to Adventureland where we sailed the Jungle Cruise (the kids really liked the waterfall), had a picture taken with Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, and rode through Pirates of the Caribbean; Jocelyn was sandwiched between Mom and Grandma and Dominic rode behind us with Grandpa. The kids did great and didn’t really get scared, although I have never seen their eyes bigger than that. Even when “there were rough seas ahead” and the boats stopped for about 5 minutes…the kids did really good. (Of all the rides to get stuck on!!)
We also bought “Mouse Ear” hats for the kids with their names on them. While waiting for the names to be embroidered, Minnie and then Mickey came from around the corner. I think 1 out of the 5 pictures came out cute!! The kids also saw Goofy, Donald Duck, and Chip & Dale. After this, we got Jocelyn a stroller so that she could take a nap.
I think after all was done and said that Dominic’s favorite ride was Big Thunder Mountain. It is a high speed train roller coaster…he was screaming like everyone else, but he had a huge smile on his face. Since the lines were so short, he got to go a second time!
I haven't had a chance to sort more photos, but I'll get to it after Thanksgiving. We have DominicsUncle Andy and Aunt Laurie visiting with Cousin Jake and Baby Norah! We are all very busy, but are having a great time visiting!
