Disneyland!

The "Scariest" Place on Earth!

Disneyland with a 2 year old is pretty interesting. We didn't have any help with us (family, friends, etc.). We were determind to have a family adventure on our own, and we did. We got up bright and early and went to the park. Zack knew something was going on, but he wasn't quite sure what. We had told him that we were going to Disneyland and he kept repeating it, but he didn't really know. We bought our tickets and ran into the park. We had to get the passes to the Indiana Jones ride first. Then we went to Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. This is when Zack started to tell us that everything was "sooooo scarrryyyy". Next we went on Jungle Cruise (dumb) and to the Tarzan tree house (which was very similar to the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse...). Finally it was our turn on the Indiana Jones ride. I have always wanted to ride that and I thoroughly enjoyed it. When we planned our trip we had checked the weather and it was supposed to be in the 80's, but it was in the HIGH 90's. WHOA! It was hot and so I tried to go to places where we could cool down. Later in the day we did the kids part "Fantasyland" but Zack still thought it was scary. I forget about the witches and weird creatures from some of the movies. He also saw Darth Vader and hated him too. Overall we had fun, even Zack, but I wouldn't recommend it with a little one unless you have a little girl dying to see the princess people, and even they are hard to find. In fact, as we were leaving I said "We didn't see any stupid characters." Of course then I looked up and there was Mickey Mouse and so we got our picture with him! After that we went out to eat and then headed to my friend Sirley's in San Diego.

That is kind of funny he thought everything was scary. We took the kids to disney world last year but we had my parents with us... which i am very grateful for.

Precious, precious, precious! Thanks for sharing the pictures. We may not can be there, but at least we got to see him inside the park. We both liked the picture of him in front of the Haunted House the best.
Love, Gma and Gdaddy in SC
