Day 4 in CA - 7/13/10

On our second day in Disneyland, based on the ticket we bought, we got to go in an hour before the park opened to everyone else. We went directly over to Fantasy Land. Our past experience has taught us that Fantasy Land fills up fast and ends up with long lines. So we went there first thing. The first ride of the day.....Dumbo!Marc using his muscles trying to get the sword out of the stone.
Then, of course, Samantha said "My toourn!".
Then fun for the whole family. Every one's gotta love the carousel!
One of Marc's favorite rides in Fantasy Land is the Spinning Tea Cups. The only person that will ever go on a spinning ride with him is Daddy......lucky Daddy! ;-)
Every ride we went on, no matter how bright and cheerful it was, Samantha went between being in awe and being a little scared. When we got to It's A Small World, she was ALL smiles!!
Our family at the entrance of California Adventure.
Being a Disney Visa cardholder, we were entitled to some one-on-one time with a character. Marc was happy to see Chip and Dale in the area waiting for us. Marc loves the way they play around with him.
Since we love Monsters, Inc we were excited to see that Sulley was out for photos.
While in a wilderness exploration play area the boys ran into the bears from Brother Bear, Kenai and Kodo.
We left the park for lunch and then headed back to the hotel for some resting time. I thought it was cute how both of my kiddos were cuddling with a Pooh Bear.
When we got back to the park we got there just in time for their new parade, "Celebrate in the Street". At different points throughout the parade route, the stop and encourage the kids to go out into the street and dance with them.
It was a very successful, fun day 2 in Disneyland.
