First Day of Disneyland!

So our first day was really fun but quite wet!! We got to the park early and it was pouring and I mean pouring! We had brought the kid's raincoats but only had sweatshirts for ourselves. So our first stop was to get some ponchos. Then we were ready...we got into the park and we were walking down mainstreet and I was an idiot and wore sandals.....it doesn't rain THAT much in LA normally to have a good drainage system so the streets were flooded and I was walking in water almost up to my ankles in some places, Crazy!

We walked into the park and the first thing we saw was Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip and Dale in their Christmas sweaters. The kids were so excited, well Brooklyn was. Beckham didn't know what to think at this point, but he got used to the characters and ended up loving them! We took pictures with all of them and Chris and I look awesome in our ponchos, they make you look so good, you know... But it was really fun to see the characters right off and then see all of Disneyland decorated for Christmas, it really was magical.

So we headed right for Buzz Lightyear indoors!! The kids LOVED it! Especially Beckham, he thought it was great getting to shoot the lazer guns. After every time he would say, "Again, Again!" So we went 4 times in a row. No one was at Disneyland on a rainy day so there were no lines, it was great! Each time we went on the ride, Chris and I would try and beat each other's scores but he always beat me by a bazillion.

From there we went to Fantasyland and went on Snow White's Scary Adventure and Pinnochio, both were pretty cute. We had some lunch and waited for our friends and then we all went on The Haunted Mansion together. I didn't know what the kids would think of it....and to my surprise, they LOVED it!!! They thought it was so great with Jack Skellington and they didn't get scared at all. It was easily a favorite.

We went over to go on Winnie the Pooh and it wasn't working so we went to the little gift shop nearby and ended up seeing Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. Then Chris and Dave went on Splash Mountain with Avery (Dave's little 4 year old) and she loved it, but Brooklyn really didn't want to even though she was tall enough and I didn't blame her, that drop scares me! Then Chris, Kiersten and I went on Splash Mountain and it was the perfect day to do it since we were already wet and had ponchos. It was really fun!

We took the train over to Toon Town and went on It's a Small World and the kids loved this one too! Beckham was just singing away, it was so fun to watch his reaction. It was all decorated for Christmas and so fun! From there we went to Minnie's house and Brooklyn got to sit on her couch with her and tour her house with Beckham. Then we went to Mickey's house and went all through it and saw Mickey at the end! Brooklyn was so cold and Mickey took her and just hugged her and warmed her up. Then Mickey teased Beckham until he got a laugh and smile out of him. It was so fun. When we left Mickey's, Donald Duck was outside waiting for us with more big hugs! It was a great way to end our day. It was only 4pm, but we were soaked and cold and thought.....we've got 3 more days to come so let's go back and get warmed up and play. We went on Buzz Lightyear one more time and then bought some Toy Story toys and went home to play.

It was a wet and wild day, but we still had a blast!
