Day 1 - Continued...

The Haunted Mansion HAD to be on Day 1! We had bought "Nightmare Before Christmas" a few weeks before, and Caleb LOVES it! It even has a tour of the Haunted Mansion decked out by Jack Skelington for Christmas on the DVDs- just as it is done in Disneyland for every Oct/Nov/Dec. It was awesome! Caleb didn't want to leave! He was SO excited seeing Jack all dressed up as Santa... he was a hoot! As we passed Jack each time we rode it (this one was another do again ride) he would yell out "HI JACK! HI!!! HI JACK!!" and WaVe!!! He loved it!

We walked through Fantasyland this first night - the kids were dying to see the castle up close...but it was closed this late at night. We did run in and ride "Snow White's Wild Adventure" since there was no line. This is all that we saw of Fantasyland. 2 1/2 days is just NOT enough time with the 2 parks now! We never made it to Bear Country at all... and we missed almost all of Toon Town! LOL!! Darn! We have to go back! *GRIN*

The whole place was decorated for Halloween! It was marvelous! We rode the Autopia as well... and each of the older kids got photos done for their "Drivers License" - which Cam carried faithfully the entire trip! It was very special to him! Autopia is the only ride we rode more than twice... at Cam's request!

After a long eventful day...he didn't even make it half way back to the hotel! *Giggle*
