Oh, Disneyland how we missed you so!

On a very rainy Friday in February, three Zay's headed off to a very rainy Disneyland. . .

On Friday Feb. 6 we decided to kick off our "year of Disney". It was very wet day indeed. We prayed about safe travel and off we went. When we got to the park, it was drizzling on and off. I was actually surprised how many people were there on such a rainy day. But being that this is the year that Disneyland is giving you free admission on your birthday and the year they started a monthly payment option on their passes, it really wasn't all that surprising. Cameron was VERY excited about going to Disneyland. It had almost been a year since our last trip. The first three years of his life, we had passes so we went several times a month. So this was very exciting indeed. And even though he had been there hundreds of times, this was kind of like the first time. He is getting to the age, where he actually remembers things. And even though he had some memories of the trip we made to Disneyland last year, a lot of the park was new to him.




When we got to the park, we stopped at the ticket booth to get our passes. We decided to go into Disney's CA Adventure first. Because we have a Disney Visa, there are lots of things that are special just to Disney Visa card holders. One of which is a personal meet and great with Disney characters. You have to be a DV holder and you also get a FREE 5x7 picture! On that day, the characters were Chip and Dale. They spent several minutes with him looking at his autograph book and playing with his hair!


Because it was raining there wasn't many characters walking around. So we decided to go where they spend the most time, in the Animation building.


Cameron was very interested in the "Hollywood Back lot" mural, he liked how it looked like the road just kept going.


While walking from one place to the next, we did stumble across Goofy


We then went and rode, Tower of Terror, Cameron was not impressed! But when we were leaving that ride, we came across Mr. Incredible and him and Cameron compared muscles . . .


While they were comparing, Goofy found us! He wanted to be included in the comparison


I think I have a new favorite ride at Disneyland. It's Toy Story Mania, you get to wear these really fashionable glasses while you ride and play


After several wet hours at DCA we headed over to Disneyland and got our passport pictures (wonderful after 5 hours in the rain). We met up with the Heatherly women and went into Toon Town where we met up with Goofy at his house. He must have gotten wet and went home to change clothes

We went through Mickey's house and the kids took a break on his couch.

After weaving our way through Mickey's house, we found him, dressed to the nines if you ask me!


We then went over to Minnie's house to see how she was doing. The kids all got together in one picture


Then it was Jen and I's turn


After our trip through Toon Town, we said good by to the Heatherly's for a while. They went to meet up with Justin and we headed off to do whatever it is you do at Disneyland. I think it started to rain again, because I don't have that many pictures in the evening. We left around 7, even though we had originally planned to close the park. But Larry had to work the next day and he had a long shift in front of him. But that was okay, because we know we will have lots of time to spend at Disneyland in the next year!
