Disneyland Day Two
Posted in: Family
You read that right. Day two! Wow, I can actually remember more from our trip.
We woke up early, 7am early, three hours before the park opened. We had early passes where we could get in one hour before the park opened. So after breakfast we walked over to the monorail. And you know what? There was already a line! But Isabelle didn’t mind. Even lines are fun when you’re two years old.

She ran around and around, laughing, and having a great old time. She didn’t mind the wait at all. And there was a wait. It must have taken at least half an hour to get into Disneyland that day. The line wasn’t super long but it was long enough where we missed the first train. So now we know if we want to go early, just walk.
So what did we do first? Peter Pan. That’s one of my favorites in Fantasyland. Maybe that’s why the line was longer, it was everyone’s favorite too? I love how it feels like you’re flying in the air. That was a surprise for Olinda. Because she hasn’t been to Disneyland in something like 15 years, everything was new to her.

Some things were new for us too. The last time me and Alan went to Disney’s California Adventure, five years ago, they didn’t have the Twilight Zone tower of terror. I don’t like dropping rides but I really wanted to try it. We read that, that one ride was worth the price of admission.
We did the whole baby swap thing on that ride. I think that’s what it’s called. It’s where we all lined up even though Isabelle couldn’t ride. Me and Olinda rode first and then when we got off we took Isabelle. Then one of us could ride again, this time with Alan.
But you know what? I was too scared. It was fun BUT terrifying. I didn’t want to ride it again. On the ride there was a point where I actually screamed in my mind, “when is this going to end?! No more, no more!” I was shaky and my palms were still sweaty from the first time. I didn’t want to experience it again. So poor Alan had to ride by himself.

I wish I had the picture of me and Olinda on the ride. But the thought of taking a picture did not even cross my mind when I was looking at our picture. And the only reason I have a picture of Alan is because someone took their picture and I thought, what a great idea. But by then our picture was off the screens. You would have seen Olinda covering her eyes and me with my eyes shut tightly. And look at Alan, all smiles!
Ok I’m going to stop typing. Isabelle wants me. I’ll just leave it with this picture from Irrigation station in Disney’s California adventure:

Isabelle absolutely loved this. It’s basically water spurting out all over the place unexpectedly. Isabelle probably could have played there all day. She got sopping wet and we ended up buying her a new shirt to wear, a Woody shirt of course.

Ok, so I lied. Two more pictures. Ok. that’s it for real this time. Someone is crawling all over me asking for milk.
