Disneyland with Friends

It's been a few weeks since we've been to Disneyland. It's about time we got back there. And today we get to go with friends!
The parking was insane this morning. Our friends let us know that the entrance to the Mickey and Friends garage was backed up onto the freeway! Crazy. Instead we went to the Toy Story parking lot which was much quicker to park, but had a ridiculously long line for the buses. Well I guess we could use the exercise. Time to walk a mile to get to the parks.

Despite the long lines at the parking lots, it doesn't look too bad inside.

Greetings Captain Hook! Alli wasn't too sure.


We attempted to ride Casey Junior but while we were in line, the ride went down. Something about the train putting out more exhaust than normal. Instead we took a spin on the tea cups!

And then rode the Carrousel! Alli was lucky enough to ride on Jingles!

While Ian and Mommy high-five on "Alvin" and "Comet".

Finally at 10am, Toontown opened and we could ride Ian's favorite. Gadget's Go-Coaster!

Hey, it's our friends! There's Lucas!

He'll be big enough to drive before you know it.

Driving Alli and Lucas around.

Check out the Jolly Trolley!
Seeing Ian like this makes me realize how much we need to get his hair cut. More on that in a future post.

I wish it actually moved.

The boys are loving all the cars back here in Toontown.

I don't know if Ian's ever taken a ride on Roger Rabbit. I know Alli hasn't. It was a little dark, but she did great.

Let's all go on the tea cups again.

Spin kids!

The park was really starting to fill up. Arriving at Winnie the Pooh, it was a 25 minute wait! Oh man.

The six of us in the back rows... which means...

The boys are sitting by themselves up front!

Time for lunch. Let's start with some popcorn. It's a shame they don't offer honey popcorn here like they do at Tokyo Disneyland. I can remedy that! A little buttered popcorn and a packet of honey from the French Market.

Now that's what I call a sticky situation.


The parks pretty crowded at this point, which means it's about time to wrap up our day. Before we go though, let's sing along with the birdies at the Tiki Room.

I think they've had fun together today.

After singing with the birdies, it's time to feed them. Ian and Lucas got quite a gathering of ducks.

There were plenty of buses waiting for us to take us back to the parking lot, but after walking around the park all day, what's another mile back to the car. Someone was just a little tired after a fun day at the parks.

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 2

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Ready to head to the apple orchards? By staying overnight nearby, we were able to get an early start to the day and arrive right when the orchards opened on Saturday. The drive in to Oak Glen was quiet and peaceful. There was even one stretch were we saw deer amongst the apple trees eating their breakfast. Having read multiple reviews ahead of time, it was clear that this was going to be a madhouse later in the day. According to everything I read, Oak Tree Village opened up at 8am. I thought getting there around 8:30am would give everyone a little time to get set up. But when we arrived, it was like a ghost town. There's lots of shops stalls, but nothing is really open yet. Looking around for anything to do, at the back of the village we found a pen with chickens, a duck, a peacock, and some pigeons. And right there by the pen was a vending machine for corn feed. Ian asked if he could have money for it, but sorry buddy, I don't carry coins. Ian sud

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 1

It's the weekend! This year we're not going to get the chance to fly to Michigan to visit the apple orchards there. Theresa was still really wanting to go and the kids have been getting really excited about picking apples so Theresa found a place relatively close by and made it happen! Welcome to Oak Glen! Just a 2 hour drive from our house, this mountain community had its first apple orchards planted all the way back in 1867. Now home to over 30 different orchards, this 5 mile loop is affectionately known as Apple Country. After Ian got out of school, everyone piled in the car and headed for the hotel T booked. We're making it a 2 day event, staying the night in between so we can get an early start in the morning. After checking in and getting up to our rooms, Ian was very happy to find a quarter (remember this one, it'll come back later). Time to head to our first orchard! Snow-Line Orchard has been in production since 1898. I was really happy to come on a Friday. It

Alli takes on more 40" rides at Disneyland

It's been a full weekend already, spending 2 days in Oak Glen California visiting apple orchards, but we're not done yet. Weekends are perfect for a Disneyland visit. I love seeing all the different Halloween decorations, plus Alli just turned 40" tall so she's got lots of brand new things she can ride. Hats this week continue the Nightmare Before Christmas theme from last week. From left to right, we've got a Jack Skellington style top-hat from Disneyland years ago. Next is Jack Skellington bursting out of a pumpkin which I think was offered last year at Disneyland. Then there's a Scary Teddy hat, followed by a Santa Jack hat complete with beard. Both parks open today at 8am. At 8:05 we were in a long line of cars trying to enter the parking structure, and by 8:45 we had made it through security and were walking through Downtown Disney. I always opt to take the 1 mile walk from the parking garage to the entrance instead of dealing with the tram. One other &quo
