Disneyland - Day 1

We finally arrived in Disneyland about 4pm the first day. In retro-spec we should have waited and saved a full day for Disneyland... but there was no "not going" once we reached Annaheim! LOL! We saw Donald Duck and Alladin & Jasmin as we arrived, but we missed photos/autographs with them as we were excited to just get inside!

Our first stop was City Hall. The kids each got a button that said "1st Visit" on them. Grandpa was asking all sorts of knowledgable questions and so they gave him and "Honorary Citizen" button to wear! It was later in our trip I learned my dad went to Disneyland as a child the 1st day it opened in 1955!! WoW! Jess and I bought him a ball cap that says "Authentic Disney 55" on it. Very cool! They all wore their buttons faithfully. *grin*

Our first ride HAD to be the train! I mean 'common! I have a Dad who loves trains and two of his grandkids/my sons are WILD about trains! We got a great quick view of the park and ideas on where to go next!

The next stop was of course Pirates! Here are the kids waiting in line praticing their "hooks" LOL!

Emma was SURE it would be scary! It had waterfalls you went down after all!! ACK! Tee hee!! She loved it and it was one of the few rides we rode more than once...
