The reason for our trip was to meet one of Chris' bothers and his family at Disneyland. Six years ago we we met them for a few days at Disney World but back then Chris and I were DINKs and Claire was an only child. She was the exact the same age Wesley is now.
Monday was an action packed day and we took very few photos. We had fun at Disneyland. We started with Peter Pan because that line gets so long and then rode everything in Fantasy Land. We rode a lot of rides before park hopping. Everyone but the two three-year-olds rode Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. Both rides are very smooth so I knew it was fine for me to ride them. I did skip the bumper cars at California Adventure so Amanda got stuck riding with Wesley.
Lydia loved driving, of course.
California Adventure has a really cute, well themed (It's a Bug's Life) area with four cute little kid rides that the whole family can ride together, including the bumper cars. There is also a nice a
wooded play ground on the other side of the park. David and Chris took Lydia and Lucy there while Amanda and I rode
Soarin' with Claire and Wesley. We got eight fast passses to all the big rides which meant Claire and Wesley rode them twice while we took turns waiting with the three-year-olds.
I also skipped The Tower of Terror. Wesley's two favorite rides are Tower of Terror and Space Mountain.
I have to mention our hotel. We stayed at the HoJo and got 50% off using our Entertainment Card. I saw the deal on a Disneyland message board and did some calling around until I found a bookstore that still had the Entertainment Books in stock. The hotel was an 8 minute walk from the main gate and the room had a good coffee, a fridge, a microwave, and free parking. There was also plenty of drawer space. The hotel is right beside of I-5 and I thought all the freeway noise would be too loud but it turned out to just sound like great white noise in our room. We would stay there again, especially for $59 a night.
