Our day at Disneyland included all of the typical theme park highlights. We were prepared for bad weather, with our change of clothes and rain jackets. We looked the map over and the girls decided they wanted to begin in Mickey's Toon Town. So off we went. The lines weren't too long, but as the day wore on the girls got tired of waiting. Most rides we all went on, with just a few that I sat out of. It's so neat to go back years later and see all the classic rides that have been there for years. All the anticipation of what that ride will bring can now be seen in our kids' faces, just as was in ours all those years ago. We did the Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World, and all the storybook rides. It was great to people watch, take in the sights, and enjoy being at the park. Lunchtime and snacks all around. (Good that you can get chicken nuggets and ranch anywhere.) We knew we had to squeeze in everything we could that day, and since our girls weren't much for riding the big rides, it all worked out fine. As nighttime approached the air turned cold but we were determined to stay for the fireworks. So huddled together in our rain jackets, under the umbrella, drinking hot cocoa; we all watched the sky light up above the castle. When it was finished it was a long walk back to the hotel, where all of us fell asleep the minute our heads hit our pillows.
The first ride the girls wanted to ride was the trolley. Go figure! We rode down Main Street right up to the Castle.

Chad braved the Go-Go Gadget Roller Coaster ride with the girls. Waited in line for 30 minutes for a 2 minute ride. It was the girls' favorite ride in the park.

The girls opted for a pic in the stationary tea cup. That ride was too much for all of us!
