Disneyland

This is the longest post ever. I hope that it doesn't bore everyone. Mainly I wanted to docutment our trip. Here are the kids on the drive. The first day we drove to Prim, NV and stayed at Buffalo Bills and went shoping at the outlet mall there. The next day we set out again this time to Disneyland. We got there and checked into the Hotel.
We went to Downtown Disney to go looking through the shops, and pick up our free stuff. We got a Disney Credit Card for this trip. It turns out you get tons of free stuff and special things that are offered only to the card holders. We got free lanyards, pins, pictures, backpack, discouts and all sorts of other stuff.
So, this trip was with a ton of other people. We had our friends Jamie and Tanya with their kids,(Adessa, Jordon, Morgan) Jamie's Sister Dannai her son (Micheal), Jamie's mom (Annie), Jamie's uncle (Joe), Jamies other sister Shannon her daughter (Alexadra). Then there was Jamie and Tanya's friend Jason his son (Hunter), then Jerry who is friends with all of us. This is a picture with some of the kids.
We went to the Build a Bear Workshop where Truman and Elleree built a dog and bear (Bruno the Bat dog, and Minnie Elleree) Dillon didn't want one, he got a tiger from Indiania Jones when we got into the Park.

We went to Goofy's Kichen to eat that night. We meet a ton a of charcters there. The kids got pictures and autographs from Minnie, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Goofy, and Aladdin. They got to go out and "do the twist" with Goofy, and they also got to help him cook. We had a really good time!
The first morning didn't start out very well. Dillon had a fever and was throwing up all night. So I stayed at the Hotel and Jason took Elleree and Truman out. They spent the morning in fantasy land and part of fontier land. They rode all the rides there and met some characters.

That afternoon Dillon was feeling better so we set out to the park. We rode all the ride we could in frontier land, and adventure land. We even made it over to Tomorrow land and rode a few rides there. The boys got to build there own light sabers that night.

This was the only time Elleree let me put her down. She really liked to play with the wheel.
The Haunted Mansion, they decorate it in the theme of Nightmare Before Christmas, for Halloween.


At the end of the first night we got our pictures taken at the entrance to the park. They had some amazing decorations for Halloween!

On the second morning we got to enter Mickey's Toon Town an hour before everyone else, because of the credit card. We got to see a little performance with Mickey's gang and then go through Mickeys house where Donald, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Goffy and Mickey were. Then we rode some rides before everyone else showed up.
The boys both had to have Mickey ears and we got them a lollypop too. They only lasted about two seconds before they were done with both. We spent until noon at Disneyland and then I headed back to the Hotel so Elleree could have a nap. The Boys headed to California Adventures to ride some rides, until we met back up.
We got "preferred seating" to the Pixar parade, because of the card as well. It was actully reall cool. We got to sit on these benches where no one else was allowed, and watch the parade without anyone in front, or behind us. The kids loved it, and the charaters payed special attention to them because they were the only ones there.
I had to go back to the hotel early that night because Truman and Elleree were tired. This is how I pushed them both through the park that night. Truman wanted to stop for some ice cream, so after waiting in line for a half hour we were almost ready to get our ice cream and I look down and they are both asleep. Needless to say we didn't have ice cream that night.
Next morning was California Adventures. Dillon and Jason stayed that moring in Disneyland so the Dillon could go to the Jedi training. He had a blast, I guess they get to learn how to fight the bad guys in Star Wars. Elleree wanted to ride the Carousel and loved every minute of it! The boys thought it was lame, but she loved it and wanted to go on it again.
The boys next to the Cars characters at California Adverntures. They went off to ride some "cool" rides, because Elleree wasn't big enough to ride them. She and I went to the Bugs Life section where she could ride most of the rides, and had fun without them.
Picture with Snow White at California Adventures. The only girl that the boys would get their pictures taken with. Scratch that, Dillon wouldn't get in the picture, Dillon said " We don't care about Princesses." After California Adventures closed that night we went back over to Disneyland, but I ended up having to take Elleree and Truman back to the Hotel early because Truman threw up in line. He and Elleree ended up being really sick that night and throwing up all over the room. We woke up the next morning and checked out of the hotel, to start our trip home.
We went to Newport Beach with the the kids, I got to play with the kids in the ocean and teach them how to body surf, it was soo much fun! Alot of things are not as much fun when you get older as they were when you were a kid, but for me playing in the waves in not one of them.
My favorite picture, Dillon with his hands down his pants, love it!
After the beach we headed home. We spent 4 hours in heavy traffic and finally made it to our hotel in St. Gorge, where I vomited in the bushes like a drunk. For some reason I got really sick that night. We woke up the next day and went to Tai Pan. Then we set out for home with a historic stop at Fort Cove, which was really cool. We finally made it home about 11:00 pm that night. What a trip! Tons of things have changed since I was last at Disneyland (the parking lot being turned into California Anventures being one) but it was still alot of fun. A little smaller than I remember, but alot of fun.
