We have been lucky enough to spend part of this last week in California. We have been unlucky enough to plan our trip just in time for most of Southern California to go up in flames. But, luckily, Disneyland seems to have a bubble over it and we enjoyed a lovely day there with relatively smoke-free air!
David's parents were kind enough to take care of Abby the first half of the day so we could ride the big rides without carting her around. It was great. We lucked out on three major rides as they would close the ride temporarily, and we would just happen to get in line right after the ride reopened. We'd pretty much walk right up to the front and then see an enormous line when we got out. It was awesome! We hit everything we wanted to, with time to spare. So we decided to splurge and buy a $3 churro. It was worth it!
When Abby finally arrived, she was so happy to be there!!
We took her to the Disney Princess Fantasy Faire, but didn't wait in line to see the princesses. She doesn't care that much. We just got the free crown and posed a bit...
Here we are in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle...
She loved the Jungle Cruise. Our guide was quite funny, so we fully enjoyed that ride too!
And we hit Toon Town, although Abby was a little annoyed she couldn't actually pick up the things in Mickey and Minnie's houses.
We had a great dinner at the Blue Bayou (the restaurant that overlooks the Pirates of the Caribbean ride) and ended the day watching the parade. Here's Abby on her dad's shoulders getting the best view.
All in all, we had a fabulous time! Abby was fascinated by everything and loved all the rides she went on. It will be even more fun when she really gets it!

Yahoo for Disneyland! It looks like you guys had the best time! I am jealous! See you when you get home!
I forgot to ask: Did you go on the Buzz Lightyear ride? What did you score?
No we didn't do Buzz Lightyear. We saw him though. We didn't go to California Adventure.
