Our First Trip to Disneyland!!

Braeden's 3rd birthday is May 1, but we celebrated it a little early yesterday with some family at Disneyland! Yesterday was my Dad's birthday and Braeden's first time at Disneyland. Yes, I waited until my son was almost 3 to take him to Disneyland for the first time! :)

We got in the park at about 10:30a.m. and we got back to our car at 8:05p.m. It was a long but FUN day! Our first ride was Peter Pan, which he LOVED! He went on his first ride with Auntie Tahnee (my cousin) and got off smiling! Next we tried Pinocchio but he was not interested. That was the only ride that he resisted all day and we still never figured out why.....oh well!

We hit the carousel, Dumbo, Autotopia (where he thought it was hilarious that he was giving me whip lash!), Tarzan's Tree House, Pirates of the Caribbean (he says this was his favorite ride, he was so intrigued the entire time), Winnie the Pooh, the Tea Cups twice (he wanted to go a 3rd but Mommy was done), and then off to Toon Town. In Toon Town he has a great time exploring the town and meeting Goofy. We even hit the Go Gadget Coaster and he LOVED it!! I thought it was a little fast but he laughed the entire time!

We only met Winnie the Pooh and Goofy. We say the Genie from Aladdin but he was a little creepy, so we did not get a picture with him!

Tahnee and my parents went on Space Mountain while the rest of us finished up lunch and headed to the arcade and Autotopia. Then Grandma and Grandpa Riley (in-laws) waited in line with Braeden to meet Pooh while my parents, Brett, Tahnee and I hit up Splash Mountain. Tahnee convinced my parents into sitting in the first two seats and the were SOAKED!

Overall, it was a great day and lots of fun. No, we did not end up Season Pass holders!! I have not made up my mind on that one yet.....

Here are SOME of the pictures. I still need to collect pictures from Tahnee, my Mom and my Mother-In-Law and when I do I will update!
