Greetings again from Disneyland! Yeah I know we are there too much, according to some, but its a happy place and even better now that we have our little girl to share it with. Because of the major heat and the fires we decided to take a night trip and enjoy the park until it closed.
When we arrived on Main Street, Shaun and I began the usual ritual of… so what do we do first??!! We decided to find a seat over at the Plaza Inn to eat and enjoy the fireworks when they started. On our way we saw that Mickey and Minnie were out taking pictures with everyone. So Abby, not even a year old, has her first pictures with Mickey and Minnie Mouse! As you can see in the pictures, Abby was distracted first by Mickey and his nose and then by Mickey walking by while she was taking a picture with Minnie. Oh well, they are still super cute pictures!
After dinner and fireworks, Shaun and I decided it was time to hit some rides before the park closed. We hopped on to Snow White’s Scary Adventure and Abby seemed to enjoy that. Its a fairly harmless ride though, just like Pinocchio or Winnie the Pooh.
After tackling that one, we made the decision to give one our favorites a chance to see how Abby did. Yeah you guessed it… we headed over to Pirates of the Caribbean. I know I was a bit nervous about how Abby would handle the dark and the drops, but as I learned quickly, I was worried over nothing.
Abby handled the two drops like a champ. She tensed up a bit but seemed to be OK. As we started to just float along, Abby seemed to relax completely and even to bob her head with the music. It was pretty cute! Unfortunately I didn’t even think to take video of it! Sometimes its hard to read her reaction, as she loves to just take things in. Her favorite scene seemed to be the one where the man is being dipped up and down into the well. Pretty funny! I cant wait to take her again to see if she likes it even more, or if she hates it. We shall see!
After Pirates we went on Winnie the Pooh. It was a nice calm ride after something so intense and Abby seemed to be losing steam. After Winnie the Pooh, Abby fell asleep in the stroller and we knew it was time to just walk around and enjoy the last little bit at the park. I love walking through all of the stores on Main Street, so we did that for a moment. After about 40 minutes, Abby woke up with a smile on her face and ready for more but sadly the park had already closed. I guess we will have to save Peter Pan for next time! So we had to say “bye bye” to Disneyland for now but I am sure we will be back soon.
