Disneyland Day 2

Monday January 28th

The park didn't open until 10 so we ate breakfast before heading to the park.  We had decided to run straight for Fantasyland when the gates open because for some reason Peter pan is the longest wait and we wanted to get there before a line started.  They open the gates at 9:30 but you must wait on Main Street until 10.  We ran/speed walked to Fantasyland.  We were one of the first to board the ride.  We soon found out that Max does not like dark rides.  He covered his eyes most of the time.

We went on Mr toads, Dumbo, King Arthur's Carousel and the Casey Jr Train.  We did have a Lunch reservation at the Blue Bayou so we headed that way.  4 of us got the Monte Cristo, Max ate Mac and cheese and Curtis got Shrimp Jambalaya.  We noticed the boats for Pirates of the Caribbean were empty and decided that would be our next ride.

We had little to no wait boarding.  Max closed his eyes a lot and Kendall was mad that he didn't get a good nap.

We had a fast pass for Indiana Jones but the boys are too short to ride so we split into two groups, Claire Grandpa and Grandma went first while we stayed close with the boys.  When they finished Claire, Max and Grandma took Kendall to get a corndog while Curtis and I took our turn on the ride and Grandpa bought a new hat and waited for us.

When we all met up again, Max was pulling Curtis to the Astro Orbiter.  As they were in flight, we spotted Mary poppins and Bert rush by.  We followed them to a street performance.  Max was on his dads shoulders and yelled, "I Love Mary Poppins!"  It was so cute!

The people in front of us left so we ended up with front row view.  Max got off the shoulders and soon was picked to be part of the show with three little girls.  They were all given Chimminy brooms to dance with.  After the brooms were gathered, Mary Poppins had all the helpers hold hands.  Max got to hold Bert's hand at the end of the line and used his other hand to wave to the crowed and he ran by yelling, "Hi!  Hi!"  The Adults cried a little at how great of a job Max had done.

After the show Curtis, Max, Grandma and Grandpa took a spin on Autotopia.

We took the long walk from tomorrowland to Critter country.  We met Tigger, Eeyor, and pooh Then went on the Winnie the Pooh ride.  Max was a little scared when we finished (another ride in the dark).

We decided to take a brake from the rides and go to the tiki room and get a pineapple dole whip.  Turns out the tiki room is a little scary but Kendall loved the treat.

The Golden Horseshoe was doing a special program to honor the original show there.  This was out only chance to see it so a few of us stood in line to get a seat while Claire and Grandma took Max on a boat ride.
We loved the show!  It was so funny, too bad it is only playing for another 2 weeks.

After the show grandma and grandpa were ready to go back to the hotel.  They were really nice and took Kendall with them.  He was getting really tired.

Curtis, Claire, Max and I went on Alice and Wonderland then the Matterhorn. Matterhorn was a wild single seat ride so i was a little worried about Max being alone so I sat behind him and held his hand the whole way.  He said the ride was "funny".  I'm not sure what that means but he didn't say scarry; then again he didn't want to go on it again.

The Soundsational parade was starting again so we got churro's and popcorn, then found a spot to watch from.  Max was so excited and danced through the whole thing. At the end we followed the parade to Main Street, then headed back to the hotel.

Another great day!
