Disneyland Day 2

On our second day in Disneyland we headed straight for California Adventure the second it opened in order to get on the new Toy Story ride in order to avoid the 2 hour wait later in the day. We still had to wait about 20 minutes, but that's nothing compared to later in the day.

Here we are with our cool 3D glasses

Then we headed for a Bug's Life land where they have lots of fun stuff for little kids. These are the ladybugs that spin like the teacups.

And these things fly in circles in the air:

Then there were these awesome bumper cars. I was going to go too, but once I saw how slow they went I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy that embarassment. If Halle had chosen me to ride with I would have gone, but she chose Grandma. Jared had fun though.

This is the 'watermelon train'. It's Heimlich from a Bug's Life and you go through watermelon and water sprays on you and you go through a box of cookies and he talks about some of his favorite foods. The watermelon and cookies really smelly like watermelon and cookies. The ride has been one of my favorites, and Halle really liked it too.

We traded off going on the big roller coaster, which is SO much fun! Here's Grandma and Grandpa (they are in the middle of the picture):

Then we hurried over to a Playhouse Disney show that we knew Halle would love because they had the same one in Disney World last year. We had now idea that people apparently had been waiting in that line for quite sometime and we were put in a kind of stand by line. Luckily we made it in or else Halle would have been a disaster. After the show we walked out and found Handy Manny. Halle was so thrilled!

Then we saw that Minnie Mouse was right next to him and of course Halle had to hug Minnie. She tried so hard to be patient in line:

We finally go our turn.

As we left Minnie we heard singing and dancing and just down the street Woody, Mickey Mouse, and Cinderella were performing on the street. They headed inside afterward and we followed closely behind to get a good spot in line. We didn't have to wait long, which is a miracle for Mickey and Cinderella. The princesses usually have a line in Disneyland (not California Adventure) and that line is so terrible we never even attempted to stand in it, so it was great to see Cinderella since Halle had been watching the movie at the hotel earlier that day.

That's all the pictures for day 2. We finished that day up in Disneyland and headed to the hotel around 11 after walking to McDonalds for a very late dinner.

Day 3 soon to come, there are even less pictures than day 2!
