I think we went on pretty much every single ride in both parks. Covered a lot of ground. And the infamous Tiki Room I always enjoy. Every time we passed it, I'd offer for us to go in again, but Brooke wouldn't go for it. It was probably me singing at the top of her lungs that threw her off. :)
They were celebrating Mardi Gras in the New Orleans Times Square while we were there too, so there were decorations and dancing and festivities which was just delightful!
And one of the longest lines we stood in was probably for the Dumbo ride... the rest of the little kiddie rides we did early in the morning. But the thrill of flying with Dumbo was worth it.
The first two days, mid-afternoon, it would pour rain and get really stormy and windy. Brooke had a poncho, I was happy being soaked and we spent a lot of the time on the indoor attractions. However, the benefit of having it pour rain, was that in the early evening, the park was way emptier than normal and there were not many lines.
And then we went on the tea cups and even though i know they make me sick, I spun them as fast as I possibly could. And that is probably why we only went on the tea cups once. :)
Just looking at these pictures of us spinning makes me feel a little queezy in the stomach! haha
And we even got to meet a few characters out and about.
Brooke sporting her fantastic poncho.
Please observe the couple behind us in this photo. They were harsh making out behind us and it was gross because we could hear it. So we just kept taking pictures of them in the background of us and finally they stopped. And in this photo you can also observe what happens to my hair when it's straight at the beginning of the day and gets rained on. :)
This is us waiting in the pouring rain for the Peter Pan Flying ride. Worth it. Rain definitely added this new dimension to things. As you walked around in your soaking wet shoes, and watched the water pile up everywhere, it had a magical feel to it. Mind you, I'd take sun at Disneyland anyway over rain.
And then there's the creepy dolls that don't look anything like the princesses they represent. Really Disney? Could you not take a little more pride in your stuffed animals that don't look anything like they should?
Space Mountain: one of my favorite rides!
We liked to make crazy faces for all the pictures. Sometimes it looks like i'm scared but really it's just me making a face. Phewf.
Finding Nemo Submarine Ride: also one that makes your stomach feel gross. But nice to watch the different scenes from Nemo underwater.
Alice in Wonderland caterpillar ride. One of those rides that you stand in and every other adult there is with a child. But hey, we don't need kids to have fun on the little kiddie rides!
Next up: More pics from Disneyland and some from California Adventure as well!
