Landon hadn't been since he was really little so he couldn't remember exactly how amazing it is, plus he hadn't been on a few awesome rides like Indiana Jones or anything at California Adventure. We were both in heaven the whole day.
Daren and Tanner came with us and it was so nice having them with us all day! We loved getting to spend all week with them!
That Mickey Ferris Wheel in the background is FREAKY by the way. Scariest ride I've ever been on.
We didn't waste any time--we ran from ride to ride, collected fast passes every hour, and rode every ride (at least the good ones) multiple times.
Some of the highlights of the day included riding California Screaming on the first row. I recorded it, and didn't even drop my camera!
Another highlight was World of Color, California Adventure's nighttime show. It's a water/color/laser show, but there are simply no words to describe how amazing it was! I was in awe the whole time! So magical!!!
Other favorite moments of the day: The Aladdin Show, riding tower of terror, and of course riding all the classic rides (Peter Pan, Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain, Pirates).
But my all time favorite ride is definitely Space Mountain. Always has been, always will be! We decided to ride it first thing because we love it so much, and it actually closed down while we were riding it! It was so crazy seeing the ride with all the lights on...
Most people can't say they have a picture on Space Mountain
We were pretty bummed because we were sitting there for 20 minutes and wasting valuable time, but they actually gave us VIP passes for any ride (which meant absolutely no waiting in line). We used it to get first row seats at Aladdin :)
I've always taken pictures in front of the Disney castle, but it was SO fun getting to take a picture in front of it with my husband. It is now my all time favorite picture.
Disneyland was perfect. Thanks for the Christmas present Landon Dean! :)
P.S. We are in Baker City, OR right now and actually have internet at our hotel so I decided to use this free time to blog of course! We drove through a snowy blizzard and also 60 mph winds pretty much the whole way to our hotel today. It was absolutely CRAZY weather. We have the worst luck when it comes to road trips (for example, our tire completely blew out on our way home from California on Saturday 76 miles outside of Vegas....) We're hoping for some better weather tomorrow. Only 300 miles until Portland! We should be there tomorrow before lunch! We're so excited!!!!
looks like so much fun!!! i want to go back to disneyland!
