On Wednesday May 7th, we took the kids to a "Surprise". We skipped school and went to Disneyland. Once the kids realized where we were going they got so excited. We got to the park about 11 am. We decided when we got there to just do fast passes and wait in lines. The lines weren't that bad. First order of business was to get fast passes to Star tours. Then we did Buzz light year.
Our first roller coaster was Space mountain. Andrew loved the ride because it was in space. Andrew just loves space right now and this was right up his alley. Kaitlynn didn't quite like it because she said it went too fast. I think it is because she couldn't see the where she was going.
Then it was time to hit Star tour. David and I haven't been on it since it reopened. SO this was a new experience for all four of us. WE got lucky and got the front row. This too was a hit with All of us. After star tours, David ran down and got fast passes to Splash Mountain. I got in line for Jungle cruise, then did haunted Mansion , and then our fast pass for splash mountain. Haunted Mansion was not a hit with the kids and they do Not want to go on it again. Splash mountain was good but Kaitlynn didn't want to get wet so we had a little meltdown when she got splashed. Once we were done we grabbed fast passes to Thunder mountain. By now we all were hungry and ate some lunch. (We hit 6 rides before lunch.)
Since we had time to waste till our fast passes to Thunder, we went over to the Castle. Kaitlynn just wasn't going to smile.
Oh there is that smile!
We went on Dumbo and then the Carousel. That is always a fun small ride.
After the carousel we went over to Tom Sawyers island. The kids had fun running around. Once we wasted enough time we went on Thunder mountain. Kaitlynn got checked three times to see if she was tall enough for this ride. We really enjoyed this ride. By now it was 5 pm and Andrew was asking to go home. SO we went over to hit some rides again.
We did Buzz light year AGAIN, Star tours AGAIN (without a fast pass) and the Rocket ships on our way out. We were in the car and on our way home by 6:30pm. Not a bad day!
