Disneyland - Allie in Toon Town

While Tony and the older kids went on the roller coaster in Toon Town I let Allie play in the little play area.  She loved it and had so much fun.  She ran all over, went down the slid a bunch of times, climbed on all the play things, and then when she had enough of that we went and found the cars for her to play in.
She liked playing in each car and then we even got pictures in the trolley car.  She had a great time while the kids were on he roller coaster. 

California Adventure - Mickey Mouse

Mickey was hanging out in California Adventure and we wanted to see him.  We got in line but then the worker said that Mickey had to go soon to get ready for his Newsie's show.
He did tell us that we would be able to get quick pictures with Mickey before he left so we decided that was a good idea.

The three older kids all gave Mickey a big hug and then posed for pictures.  I even gave Tony the camera and got in the picture with Mickey.  Never too old for Mickey.  Allie didn't want to get out of the stroller so after the older three got their pictures taken Mickey walked by and tickled Allie.  She told me after we walked away that Mickey tickled her.  It was adorable.

Disneyland - Toon Town Crazies

Toon Town is so much fun.  The kids love finding things to play with and seeing what makes noises and what they can play with.  A good time is always had!

California Adventure - Luigi's, Arial, Toy Story Mania, and Cars

Luigi's is Allie's most favorite ride.  It is pretty darn fun, I'd even say it's one of my favorites.  When we go to California Adventure first we try and get fast passes for the Racers ride and then we go do Luigi's as many times as we can before the line gets too long.
Then we go and do Mater's ride and we all have a great time before going on the Racers.  Allie got to go on Racers for the first time so we all got to go as a family for the first time.
Allie was excited at first but pretty nervous.  She did alright when the cars were going slow, but she did not like when they went fast.  I am hoping that she will enjoy that more when she is older.

We were able to get fast passes on another day and Allie really didn't want to go so Tony took her on Luigi's while we all went on the ride.  Tony then went on the ride after we were done with Josh. 
Another favorite ride is Arial, Megan's favorite to be specific.  Allie really likes Arial too.  We got to go on this ride many times as well.  While the boys and Margie went on the water ride I took the girl on Arial and any other time we had some extra time we would take in another ride.  Might as well ride the kids favorite rides many times (especially when they have short lines).

Another favorite ride in Midway Mania.  I would say this is my favorite ride in California Adventure.  They now have fast passes for that ride, but we never got them.  We used them for other rides and just waited in line for Midway Mania.  The line goes pretty fast so it isn't a bad line to have to wait in.

Allie also really liked this ride too.  Her first time she didn't even try to shot some things but each time we went she did better and better.  It was the same way with the Buzz ride.  It sure was fun to see her get into the rides and really enjoy herself.  Megan did better and better each time too.  Josh would ask me if we could combine our scores so that we could have he most out of everyone.  Normally Margie and Tony get the highest scores on these rides, so Josh really wanted to beat them.  It was pretty silly.

Disneyland - "It's a Small World"

Allie found a new love on "It's a Small World."  She thought it was loud (and most other rides) the first time she went on it, but then once we got her ear plugs (from first aid) she did better.
I was really surprised by how much the noise from each ride bothered Allie.  She even put her hands over her ears on the little kids ride (like Pooh).

I went to a store in Disneyland and asked about buying head phones and the cashier suggested going to first aid and getting ear plugs.  They were free, but kind of large for a little one.
They did work pretty good for the day but we knew that we would need to find her some better noise cancelling head phones.  Since we took Tuesday off from the park, we had time to go to Walmart and buy her some kid sized head phones just perfect for the rest of our Disney days.
The first time we went on the ride it was a pretty long line.  Margie, Tony, and the boys went on the Matterhorn while I went and stood in the line with the girls.

Margie met up us in line while the boys went on the Matterhorn again (we had extra fast passes since the girls and I didn't go).
We went a couple other times and we were not planning on going again on our last day, but then after we got out of see the Magical Map show Allie started singing "It's a small world after all" and it was just too adorable not to go on the ride again (and the line was short).
Tony was so excited to go again (not really).  He can tolerate that ride but it is not his favorite.  But everyone else enjoys that ride so we liked going many times.

Disneyland - Carousel

After Luigi's, the carousel is Allie's favorite.  She went on the one in Disneyland and California Adventure a number of times.  If their was a ride Allie really didn't want to go on then Tony or I would take Allie on the carousel.  Tony does better with rides that go round and round, so he went most of the times.  Grandma even went with us a couple of times.  Good ole family fun.
Megan also likes the ride and went on it most times with Allie.  Tyler and Josh can take it or leave it.  They like the big, fast, crazy rides.  I guess I can't blame them.  Rides are super fun!

Disneyland - Autopia!

We ALL loved riding/driving in the cars and did it many times.  Allie was happy just sitting in the car as a passenger, but Tyler, Josh, and Megan loved driving the cars.  Josh did a pretty good job driving and he drove me around twice.
Tyler drove by himself each time.  He is getting so big and loves going on the rides by himself.  Josh would go on some rides by himself, but I think he still liked going with someone.
The ride wasn't too busy and the line moved fast so it wasn't bad to go so many times, and the sun was shinning and felt wonderful!
