The Busiest Day Ever at Disneyland

It was a good thin we got all the rides we wanted to on Thursday and Friday, because the park was so busy you couldn't even walk in the streets. We rode a couple of our favorites, but mostly shopped, watched parades and tried to stay warm.

We finally made it to Toon Town. Aaron loves the little roller coaster there. We also got to see Mickey. The line to meet the Princesses was 1 1/2 hours long!!! No thank-you.

We had a couple more frozen bananas, rode the teacups and Hanna's favorite ride, Roger Rabbit!


We had Splash Mountain fast passes for 7:00 pm. It was freezing, and we didn't want to get wet. It was out last change to go on it. We stripped off our jackets and went in short sleeves so if we did get wet we would have something to put on. The only ones brave enough to ride were me, Chad, Carter, Ashly and McKinley. We had a plan. Light in front, heavy in back. It was a good plan until the Splash Mountain employee put some big guy right in the front seat of our log. We did pretty good. Only a few splashes, but nothing major. We were all looking forward to the Fantasmic show on the waters of Tom Sawyer island. It was so cool. Afterwards, we watched the fireworks. It was so cool. We were all cold and hungry and tired, so we decided to get a turkey leg and head back to the Hotel. Yumm-O!

What kind of turkey do those legs come off of, anyway? Is it like 300 pounds, or what? I've never had one, the last time we were there, they didn't have them yet. Are they good? They must be if Aaron's eating one.

pigtails. Oh my gosh!!! I'm glad you all had fun!!!

The toon town roller coaster is one of our favorites too. I bet our kids went on it a hundred times.
