Disneyland, Part 1

The Monday after Christmas at Grandma's we went to Disneyland. We'd been planning this all year with my brothers and Kristin. I haven't been to Disneyland at Christmas time in a very long time. It was very busy, and sadly all the rides kept breaking (which may have contributed to why it seemed so busy).

First ride of the day - Pinnochio.

Then the carousel.

And then on to Pirates of the Caribbean. The line was insane! Way out down the square!!

Auntie Kim met us there. We ended up getting stuck on Pirates. Thankfully not in a very scary part. Ryleigh decided she didn't like "yo ho".
Kim took Ryleigh over to see Minnie Mouse. We went on a few rides and then went to go meet Kim and Ry for lunch.

We tried to go to Indiana Jones before lunch - again! It was broke more times than we could count that day. We finally got on, then went to the Jungle Cruise. Ryleigh was traumatized after Pinnochio (which she thought was scary) and Pirates. So we thought the Jungle Cruise would be nice and tame - she didn't trust us lol.

When Kim had to say goodbye, we took a ride around on the Monorail. Here is the great view you get while waiting in line.

Kristin and I went to watch the parade with Ryleigh while the boys went on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Loved to see Disneyland all lit up and decorated. So Magical!

Ryleigh got really excited to see Woody. While Kim was watching Ryleigh, they saw Jesse and Woody walking. Ryleigh was trying to run up to Jesse. Woody saw her and wanted to play with her, so he came up behind her and covered her eyes. She ran away and ran to grab onto Jesse's leg. Ryleigh was so tickled by this - she loved it. We still hear the story about 6 times a day. So during the parade, Ryleigh saw Woody. She was like "Woody!! Remember you covered my eyes!! Hi Woody!!!" It was so cute!
