Disneyland Day Three Part Two

So I gather everyone’s tickets and head to Tower of Terror to get fast passes while everyone else went on the Tuck n Roll’s Drive ‘Em Buggies or “lame bumper cars” as everyone called them:










As everyone was exiting the ride, I gave them their fast passes to Soarin’ and told them to meet us at the 12:40 Aladdin show.  So they headed off and Cory and Sharon stayed with us and we did some more little kid rides around Bug’s Land.  Jeremy was a little distraught he couldn’t go with Zach and Kade, but Matt got him a churro and he felt a little better.  Meanwhile we headed over to Francis Lady Bug Boogie:
 

We got in line for Flik’s Flyers, but we realized that it was time to head over to Aladdin.  So we hopped in line and made it to the Balcony.  I love the Aladdin show.  It was great!! After the show we walked next door to the Hollywood Tower Hotel to use our fast passes.  Matt was waiting anxiously:
  
Sunnie was just plain anxious:
  
Poor Sunnie:
 
Coming up . . . and they lived happily ever after!

Disneyland Day Three Part One

So we woke up bright and early on Friday morning only to discover the rain.  We called to see if anyone else was going to brave the rain with us.  Brandon and Angie said they would be there.  So we headed over to the gates.  When the park opened at 8AM the rain magically stopped and we headed over to Peter Pan:




Brandon and Connor headed over to Adventureland to trade in his “stupid piece of wood and plastic” for a cool metal six shooter.  After Peter Pan we noticed that the Matterhorn was running.  So I waited while everyone climbed the snowy peak:

 
After a ride on the Fantasyland side, I suggested they try the Tomorrowland side and see which one they like better.  Matt decided to wait out with me, so my kids went with Angie.  Apparently as they were riding, Bailee’s head swung back and hit Jeremy in the nose, and by the time they came back, they were both crying:


Then we headed over to Space Mountain.  I got to ride with Bridger:



Then we headed over to Buzz:

Angie wanted a chance to go up against Matt:

but apparently, she didn’t do very well.

Look at me!  I almost beat Matt.  So we then headed over to California Adventure so we could ride Toy Story Midway Mania.


Once the rope dropped, we headed toward Paradise Pier and got in line for Toy Story:




Glen was loading his truck and was going to meet up with us later, so I tried to get everyone in their “cool” 3-D glasses:





Ahhhh Teenagers: 
 


Spencer was not in the mood for a picture:
 

Shauna was determined not to ride alone again:



After Toy Story, everyone headed over to California Screamin’ and Jeremy comes running up to me to inform me that he is FINALLY tall enough to ride.  So Shauna and I take all the little ones and put them on the Carousel right next to the roller coaster and wait for everyone to get off:

Shauna was having a hard time finding the proper way to hold little Dalin so he wouldn’t wail:
 
Once everyone met up, we headed toward Bug’s Land and on the way we saw Lightning McQueen and Mater:
 
More to come . . .
