Trent has been wanting to go to Disneyland all summer and our passes were finally not blocked out, so we headed to the happiest place on earth. My sister in-law Ashley and nephew Jake came along with us. They have annual passes too and go quite often, so it would be fun to see how they do Disneyland. I knew it was going to be a HOT day, but I just wasn't prepared for the humidity. I hate humidity and the air was just heavy and sticky.
We started in CA Adventure and our first stop was getting fast passes for the Cars ride. We got the fast passes around 10:00 a.m. and our return time for the ride was 7:15 p.m...crazy! The fast passes were going to gone in no time since the park was closing at 10:00 p.m.
Our first ride was Toy Story Mania and the line was only 30 minutes, which was great. Terra went on the ride with us and wasn't quite sure what to make of it. She was grabbing onto me for dear life. Next up was Screamin' a roller coaster I just love. Ashley and Jake went on first, then Ashley stayed with Trent and Terra while I went on with Jake (I just love that they offer the switch rider pass when one person has to stay with back with a child). After the roller coaster we went on a few other rides, had lunch, went on a few more rides and then headed over to Disneyland for a few hours. While Terra took a nap Ashley, Jake and Trent went on Star Tours, which didn't have much of a line. We then headed over to Pirates and Terra was awake by then, so it was perfect timing. Ashley took the boys on Indiana Jones and while they were on the ride it broke down. Thankfully, after about ten minutes the ride started back up. Because of the break down they got to take another spin, which the boys were so excited about. After that excitement we were ready for dinner and then headed back over to CA Adventure to go on the Cars ride. It was really cool to go on the ride at night with everything lit up. We did a few more rides after that and then we made our way home.
We had a great day and I am so glad Ashley and Jake came along with us. We used the switch rider pass when we could, so I was able to go on some rides too. What made the day so great was that Terra was so good. She was stuck in her stroller for most of the day and she didn't mind at all. As long as she is able to see what is going on around her she is very content. She must like to people watch like me.
Terra doesn't look thrilled to be at the happiest place on earth...she fell asleep shortly after this picture.
That's the smile I love.
The monkeys!
