Vacation: Disneyland Day #1



An hour before the park opens



Anticipation.



Walt and Mickey greet us at a virtually empty park



In front of the castle. Cooper is wearing his 1st Time Visitor button



Our first ride



Camden looking cool while riding Flying Dumbo



Disappointed that The Haunted Mansion was closed to take down Christmas decorations




Camden did NOT want to ride Pirates of the Caribbean the first time.
She wound up riding it three times.



Copper climbed the Tarzan Tree House and we rode the Jungle Cruise.



Then we took the Disney Railroad to ToonTown.




We ate lunch.



We rode Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin.

We visited Mickey's house.






The kids got in trouble.


Some of the characters we met: Mickey Mouse.


Tigger.


Pooh.


Pluto.


Donald Duck


And Goofy.


Camden steers Donald Duck's boat then dashes off.


Mom chases down Camden as Cooper takes the wheel.


Cooper at the wheel


It's A Small World.


Cooper likes the speed of this ride.


Still decorated for the holidays.



Spinning tea cups. We realized we were way ahead of schedule. Time for some thrill rides: Camden and Dad take on the most popular ride at the park: Indiana Jones:




Pretty exciting. Now we were ready for a roller coaster style ride.



There were no fast passes for Big Thunder Mountain so we stood in line.



We rode in the back. When we got off, Camden said this was her fave ride at Disneyland.



At Futureland, Camden and Cooper got to drive.



Camden was large and in charge


Dad was scared. We all needed a break before we came back for some nighttime fun.
