Day 1—continued
Here are some more things that happened on day 1 that I forgot to mention. After lunch at the Blue Bayou we attempted an entrance into the infamous Club 33 and enjoyed th
e entertainment of a Swash Bucklin’ quartet. We relaxed on the Mark Twain as we toured the Rivers of America witnessing the adventures of
Native Americans and modern day young pirates as they explored Tom Sawyer’s Island.
After our full tummies settled, we headed over to Tomorrowland (the 1950’s vision of NOW). Given that April 22 is Earth Day, Disneyland’s crew was celebrating our beautiful Earth in unique ways. To encourage recycling, a small group of guys with some big trash cans lured many a tourist with their rhythmic creations.

Buzz Lightyear then beckoned us to the call of fighting the Zorg and save the little green aliens
… Derek mastered this task and saved them all! Space Mountain was so enticing, we couldn’t resist any longer, and goodness was it crazy and fun!! W
e took a small tour around Fantasy
land before we made the trek to California Adventure! While there I tried on a birthday hat, checked out Radiator Springs, soared over California, and found a door labeled 23 with no handle on it. Odd. Door 23. D23. Is there reason for this similarity? After goofing off, taking it in, and riding other rides… we came to Midtown Mania!!! This was by far our favorite ride! We can’t lie. California Screamin’ was next on our list, and it was a nice way to end our California adventure for that day. Back to Disneyland for a Mint Julep.
Day 2
We were so tired from our first day that we ended up sleeping in a bit and missing part of our awesome Early Entry time. As we entered the park and headed toward Main Street, we could see the characters of the hour surrounded by their biggest fans. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto! They weren’t there for too long before they had to leave us temporarily. Goofy seemed so enthralled by the fans that he forgot to look where he was going and tripped off the curb… making a beautiful recovery before waving good-bye to us all.

Pluto didn’t seem to want to leave. He got distracted by the enticing fire hydrant and just had to make his mark.
We went straight for Fantasyland, gave a try at the sword in the stone and got in line for a few rides. Pinnochio’s adventure was a lot scarier than I expected. Peter Pan was AWESOME once we finally got on. We waited in line for a while, and once we got to the front, the ride broke. I think a dad tried to get in the same cart as his wife and kids and overloaded it. Oops. Nevertheless, it was magical flying over London. Unfortunately we never rode Snow White’s ride, but that just means we have more to do the next time we go. :)
Soon, we rushed over to California Adventure right before it opened so we could rush to be the first on Toy Story’s Midway Mania!
ESPN zone for dinner.
Really wanted to ride Nemo, but never did. Bugged Derek about Small World. Autopia. Monster’s Inc.
