Vacation Highlights

*Meeting Goofy

*A cloudy day . . . an uncrowded park

*Watching Charlie about die of excitement when he saw Lightning McQueen leading the parade

*The Playhouse Disney show. Okay, so Mike and I thought it was boring and didn't make sense, but Charlie LOVED it.

*Churros

*Sending the kids home with my parents after the parade and getting a little adult ride time. (And giggling at other parents with their tired, cranky kids.)

*Soaring over California

*Tuck and Roll's Bumper Cars

*Toy Story Mania!

*Dancing with Goofy and Prince Philip at Goofy's Kitchen

*Actually finding the things we lost at the Lost and Found

*The fireworks. Disney sure knows how to put on a good fireworks display.

We really had a great time. Charlie spent the entire first day staring with his mouth wide open. I think he thought he was dreaming or something. The Pixar parade pulled him out of it though, and he ended up having a great time. Peter was a good sport. I know he was confused, but as long as we kept him fed, he was happy.

As for Mike and I, we had decided not to worry about "getting our money's worth" and to just enjoy the ambiance. Because really, that's what sets Disneyland apart from other theme parks anyway.
