Day One at DisneyLand

We started our very first day at DisneyLand with SPACE MOUNTAIN! 

Steve told us more than once or twice or three times!--that this was his favorite ride as a kid!!!

We didn't know how Paige would do on rides, etc...really never thought about it!

We just put her on Space Mountain and away we went!

**I did ride next to her**

Well, she survived!  Steve and I thought she was crying the whole way through...

but turns out she was SCREAMING FOR JOY...the whole way!!

I held both my hands on either side of her little head, I was afraid her head was going to fly off.

  It goes so fast and jolts so much!  But, she was fine!

She LOVES all the jolting and bumps and everything....she just does not like the DARK!!!



We rode nearly every ride at DisneyLand on Sunday!

This was Toy Story!

Jaden is showing us the button they were given for being FIRST TIME VISITORS!

They actually got 2 different first time visitor buttons and as you will see in the pictures from now on---Tyler likes to wear BOTH!!!

We met Peter Pan, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy!

We went to a Princess Show and got to dance with the Princesses at the end!

The boys were less than thrilled and Paige was shy and didn't want to learn the dance!??

She finally warmed up at the end after I had to go down there with her!

We watched the Parade---very cool--- and went shopping!

  The kids were DYING to spend their money!  We let them each buy 1 thing and made them save the rest of their money for another day!

After the parade we went back to the hotel for naps and then returned to the park for the Fantasmic show and a few other rides!

We didn't get back to the hotel again until 10pm or later--CA time--the kids were asleep within 3 minutes of laying their heads on their pillows!!!

It was a FUN day! 

Memories:

Jaden LOVES the characters the most

Paige doesn't like her tennis shoes---

1.  they weren't cute with her outfit (She does have a point) and 2.  they are WAY too hot!!

Tyler was begging us to ride the rides to get wet and the Bob-sled roller-coaster. 

It was too cold for the wet ride (saving that for tomorrow) and we also had to save the Bob-Sled roller coaster for tomorrow too.

Jaden bought a stuffed animal--Tigger---

even though I tried everything to talk him OUT of ANOTHER stuffed animal.

Paige bought a (not so cute) Minnie Dress---that I would later get her to return for a cute Mickey shirt!

Tyler bought a necklace---he loves necklaces!!  and was saving his money to buy a stuffed animal on Thursday (the deal was if he still had money left on Thurs. he could buy an animal)

We got a lot accomplished on our first day!
