Day 2 - DISNEYLAND

Today we got up and we’re at the park when it opened at 8am. First stop was Tomorrowland where we rode rides like Star Wars and Toy Story Astro Shooters. We tried to get to the thrilling rides early when there was no line ups. The longest we waited for a ride was about 15 minutes, thanks to Fast passes and a disability benefit. Some rides were amazing, others were just okay. Everything at Disney is fun though. It was a hot one today, over 30 for sure. We stopped for lunch at The Golden Horseshoe and indulged on our overpriced food. After lunch we hit more rides. Splash Mountain was the best though. First time on Matt got the front of the log and thought it would be funny to lean forward and try to soak us. Well him and I got soaked, the other 4 not so much. The second time riding Splash Mountain I took the front - bad idea - I was still wet at supper! Pirates of the Caribbean broke down while we were on the ride. It took away from the overall tide, but it was still good. Thunder Mountain Railroad was Mikes favourite ride. Silly little coaster! We got to eat our frozen chocolate covered bananas on sticks and paid wayyy to much for water throughout the day. Mickey’s toon town was busy busy, but we managed to spot Mickey on the street later in the day and skipped his long line up at his house! On Sunday we will also go back and visit Eeyore and friends! It is Pixarfest and they had a parade that we also watched. We got to see a lot of Pixar characters in the parade. By supper time we had already done most of what we wanted to do so we left the park and hit Downtown Disney where we did a little shopping and grabbed supper. After supper we split up and did some more shopping before meeting on Main Street for the fireworks show. By this time we were all getting tired and cranky. Sooo much walking! My app tells me we walked nearly 30,000 steps today. I hope tomorrow is easier on the feet but we are headed to Universal Studios back in Hollywood. Here’s to hoping Matt can navigate us there!
