Sunday in Disneyland
Sunday was our last day at Disneyland. We decided to something really special; we splurged and took our kids to Goofy's Kitchen for a Character's Brunch. Although it was the most expensive meal I've ever eaten, it was worth it! We got lots of time with Pluto, Goofy, Snow White, Chip, Dale, and Honest John. The food was amazing! We had a fabulous time playing with the characters, especially when Goofy brought out some toy pots and pans to play with the kids. We had a blast, but most importantly, we made memories that will last forever.
With extremely full tummies, we went to Splash Mountain. It was closed on Saturday, and Friday there was a huge line for it. We were pleasantly surprised to get right on the ride with only about a ten minute wait. We really enjoyed this ride!
We tried Big Thunder Mountain next. Remembering that I am always the one who gets drenched on rides like this, it was fun to watch Dad be the one who got soaked this time. I love this picture of Yakko taken while we were in line. The look on his face in reaction to the fossils cracked me up.
Crazy-full tummies prompted a more subtle adventure. We went to the Pirates' Lair Playground. While waiting for our barge, Captain Jack Sparrow interacted with the crowd. He was hilarious! He snatched things out of backpacks and purses (and eventually gave them back), and wouldn't stand still long enough to get a good picture. He was a hoot!
We played on the island for about two hours. We enjoyed playing in the tree houses, in the caverns, and with the pirate activities. Lots of pictures were taken on the island; this is Dad's favorite one of the kids.
We spent a long time in line waiting to meet the princesses at the Princess Fantasy Faire. It was so worth it since we got some great pictures with three princesses--we were able to talk to them individually, and spend one on one time with Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Cinderella, and Jasmine.
After meeting the princesses, we decided to stay to watch the Snow White Story. It was a nice Sunday activity; very relaxing, but fun for the kids.
Our kids participated next in the Coronation. This was lots of fun! They learned manners for when they are in the presence of royalty, and became honorary knights and an honorary princess. By the way they acted the rest of the day, it was obvious they took it seriously!
On our way out of the park, we saw Captain Hook. I'll blog later about all the characters we met.
We decided to go on one last ride before we went home. Dad picked Star Tours. I'll tell you what--we'll never forget our trip to Disneyland!
