We started out the day by splitting up, in an attempt to cover more ground. I took Syd to go see the Princesses. We got to the place were 3 of the Princesses were, but even at 10am, the line was already too long, we waited for a few minutes but Sydney got too impatient standing in line. So we headed to Toontown. We got there about 15 minutes before it opened and were the first ones in. We ran and ended up at Mickey's house first in line to see Mickey.
Ryan and Deni caught up to us in Toontown after seeing a Jedi training show.
The kids really enjoyed the toontown rollercoaster and were able to see a number of the Disney characters.
I tried to get creative in getting myself in pictures. Shown here in the reflection of Sydney's sunglasses.
After toontown we rode the train around to New Orleans Square and walked right into the haunted mansion with no line. Sydney didn't like the beginning of the ride and refused to get into the ride, so Sydney and Deni left, with Sydney crying. Ryan and I went ahead and rode it and had a fun time.
We stopped to watch a band play (New Orleans big band style) and the kids got Marti Gra necklaces.
Trying on hats and attempting to make a Grumpy face at Disneyland.
We walked through Tarzan tree house, rode Indiana Jones Adventure, and rode the Jungle Cruise.
We topped off the night with a visit to the Enchanted Tiki Room.
We left Disneyland get some dinner and ended up getting some authentic Chinese food that wasn't too bad. After dinner, I dropped Deni, Ryan and Sydney off at Disneyland so they could get a seat for the Parade. I drove back to the Hotel and then caught the shuttle back. The parade was new. Ryan was excited as Stitch was in the parade. The kids went out during the parade to dance twice. First the twist, and then a second time they did the conga.
After the parade, we were tired and headed back to the hotel for a little swimming. The pool was heated, almost to the extent of being a hot tub, it was nice, but you couldn't stay in too long.
Great day 2.
