Disneyland Day #3

We started this day by being greeted by Alice at the Main entrance. Alivia was excited to meet any character, but she had no idea who Alice was. Either way she went up and talked with her got her first autograph and took a picture. Now when she see's this picture she thinks it is Cinderella not dressed up for the ball.

For the first part of the day we headed over to Toon Town where we were able to meet Mickey and Minnie!


For dinner we ate at Woody's Ranch. It was a little spendy but good food and fun!


This picture is my favorite from this whole trip!
We stayed late this night to watch the fireworks. It was really neat they had Tinkerbell fly from the matterhorn to Sleeping beauty's castle. Alivia was amazed. How neat would it have been to be a child in this situation. She saw Tinkerbell flying in the sky.

A pretty good picture (if I may say so myself...I actually took this from Adriennes pictures)Thats it for Day 3

Disneyland Day #2

Day #2 -- We headed over to the park around 9 am. I would have to say this was the warmest day that we were there. It was probably the busiest too. Although we didn't start to use the fast pass til after this day so that could be why......

First thing everyone (but Letty and I) rode on the fire truck from the main entrance to the center of the park. We stayed behind to push the bus (our double stroller).

Here are Alivia and Connor with the driver

Then we headed over to the Buzz Lightyear ride. This ride was fun. We all were able to go on it.

Then it was off to Autotopia. Alivia was even able to drive her own car. Although I didn't get a picture of it. Here is Rick and Mitch!


Letty was fulfilling her grandmother duties and stayed behind with Austin so we could all ride.
Here is Alivia with her first set of ears!!!
This was the best picture we could get with Buzz. He was a hard guy to catch!
Then we headed over to the submarine ride. It was pretty neat.
Then to Matterhorn. Believe it or not Alivia loved it and we went on it two times just for her.

After Matterhorn we went to Small world.Then to Dumbo. This isn't really the kids on the ride. It was too fast to get a good picture of us.

We did the tea cups too! Austin loved it!

I was getting a little sick from the spinning rides so Letty took Austin and Liv on the carousel.
Thats all for today--see you later.

(not quite walking on his own yet...that is still to come in a later post)The Celebration parade. This is the float that parked in front of us! It stayed the whole time and did a little show.

Our first official viewing of Mickey and Minnie as they passed by. They were on a different float so we only got a small glimpse of them. Taking a train ride around the park to see what we were in store for during the week!
