Thursday we woke up nice and early and got ready for breakfast. Normally breakfast is super busy with kids and families everywhere, but it was pretty slow and only adults. I guess the hotel we stayed at isn't a popular place to stay for families.
After we ate we decided to head to the park. Since we didn't want to go back to Universal Studios another day we decided to buy a two day pass to Disney and go to California Adventure one day. So we had to do that at the park.
After upgrading our tickets we went and got in line for Disneyland to wait for it to open. We were there about 45 minutes before the park opened to everyone. They only made us wait about 15 minutes at the gate before the let us start coming in. They didn't open the park until 10:00 but they let you walk down Main Street. We decided to look through the stores while we waited. I had a couple friends ask me to pick them up some things while we were there, so we went in search of those things.
After the park opened we went straight for Splash Mountain. It is one of our favorites and you can generally get on the ride quickly because most people don't want to get wet first thing. We were able to ride Splash Mountain 3 times in a row. After the first ride their were no people waiting in line so they let us stay on the ride and go again. So fun. We didn't get super wet, but what we did get we dried quickly.
Then we just kept going on rides and having fun. It was nice not having to worry about baby passes and strollers. We love our kids and we really did miss them, but it was nice to experience Disney just us as a couple. We got some yummy Dole Whip at the Tiki Room and listened to all the birds sing tweet tweet tweet.
I tried to take pictures of us on the rides that were the favorites of our kids and then send them to grandma. It was fun thinking about each kid and what they love the best at Disneyland. We only took the time to see one character...the main man...Mickey the Mouse. The little boy in front of us in line was so excited to see Mickey and was so adorable once he finally got to see him. After they left and it was our turn to see Mickey I commented that we were not as adorable as that cute kid and Mickey gave me a big huge as if to say "I was adorable too." That was my interpretation.
We decided that we wanted to eat somewhere that we had never eaten before but not somewhere that cost $40 a person. So we ate at the Carnation Cafe. It is a restaurant on Main Street. We both had the chicken fried chicken. It was really good. I am so glad that we went there and would like to go back there again. We went a little later in the afternoon so it wasn't busy at all and we were able to get a table quickly. They do recommend getting a reservation during their busy times.
After eating we did some more rides and we were able to ride all the rides that we wanted to. The park wasn't super busy and the longest line was Peter Pan at about 40 minutes. We got almost all the ride that we wanted to before the parade started that night.
Right now they have the Main Street Electrical Parade again at Disneyland. I got us a spot to watch the parade while Tony went on one last ride that I don't like. It worked out nice. The parade was fun but it did get a little boring after a while, so we left early to go and get some yummy grilled cheese and tomato soup for me. Tony didn't want anything because he wanted to get Joe's Italian Ice after we left the park.
After I ate we went back to the stores and bought the things that my friends requested and then headed to the tram. After we got to our car we drove to Joe's and got Tony his "dinner." It was a super fun day and we had a great time!
