Disneyland Day One or California Adventure

Day one started with us getting into California Adventure an hour early because we stay at the California Grand Hotel. This also enabled us to get fast passes for the first showing of their new night time show. We were also able to get on the new Little Mermaid ride, which we rode several times as it was Isa's favorite (everyone else enjoyed it also). After we had gotten our passes and gone on the ride, the bigger people of the group went on Soaring while I took the two little ones and headed over to Bug's Land. As we were walking I noticed Sully so made a quick detour to get photo's with him. Kai refused and Grace would only do it with me *sigh*


Once in Bug's Land we headed over to some "garbage" and climbed on. Soon we were heading up and going around in circles, oh joy! Kai loved it as did Miss Grace.

Next onto the lady bug that is very similar to the tea cups again, joy! As you can see Kai loved that! Miss Grace did too even though it may not look like it. She startled at first, then put her hands exactly as they are and left them that way for the whole ride. She was laughing most of the ride! Then we got a phone call from some of the group and guess what?? They couldn't find Bug's Land. So off we went to meet up with them and lucky us Sully was still up there! Sara and Kevin jumped in for a picture and Grace wanted to get up there again, but only if Uncle Kevin would hold her.




At this time Kevin and Sara wanted to go on Tower of Terror with Mark so off they went while Nicole and I took the little's back to Bug's Land. Nicole took them on the "garbage" ride again.

Then over to the bumper car's. Grace wasn't tall enough for this one so Nicole took her two, one at a time while I waited with the other. This is what is so nice about a big group, some go here and some go there and most everyone stays happy!



Mark and the big one's caught up with us again and Nicole and I sent them on the lady bug teacups with the littles. Kevin is really having a great time.

Next it was off to the caterpillar roller coaster, Sara needed a little rest while waiting in line, I guess that is what Kevin was there for :)

I love these two together! You get a little idea here of how they work together. See them both getting the safety belt taken care of? There's my Isa and her mama in the back seat.





Little Mermaid ride.



I really enjoyed this morning! Grace was with me and not the rest of her family, when mama came back to get her, she informed her NO, grab my hand and said ride, ride!! It was a great morning, fantastic memories were made and I really can't wait to do it all again!

Hey now, it wasn't that we couldn't find Bugs Land, just that Playhouse Disney was going and Mark took the kids in, so we were in a hurry to get Kai and Grace in. That is still one of Kai's favorite parts- seeing Cap'n Hook on stage!
