Tuesday at Disneyland

What an exhausting day! We started our day at Disneyland, with an early admission into the gate. Today we tried to see some of the attractions that we missed on Sunday. We rode the Thunder Mountain Rail Road, explored Tom Sawyer's Island/Pirate's Island, and some of the older classics that we missed like Snow White and the Storybook Land boat ride. Kevin Taggart's brother and two of his daughters showed up around 11am today, and spent the whole day with us. The kids hit it off really well, and we had a good time with them all. After a corn dog lunch, we went back over to California Adventure and rode Soarin' Over California once more and watched the High School Musical 2 show in the courtyard. The kids loved that. We stayed at California Adventure until it closed at 6pm, catching two of the last rides on the big roller coaster. We walked back over to Disneyland and spent some time at Toon Town. Finally, we rode Thunder Mountain Rail Road 2 times in a row until they kicked us out at 8pm. We stopped at Millie's for dinner and everyone but me was asleep 10 minutes after getting into our hotel room.

Tomorrow we are renting a 12 person van, and Kevin is driving us around their old stomping grounds. Mary Kaye grew up in near Anaheim, in Tustin, and Kevin is from San Diego. I think we are all looking forward to a little less walking, so it should be really fun. Here are a few photos from today. More tomorrow! - Rob

Early morning Character spotting!


That morning sun is hard on the eyes.
Just got on the ferry back from Pirate's Island when Capt. Jack came staggering up. We waited all week to get his signature, I guess we will have to wait a little longer.
The little slave Abominable Snowman, cranking away making popcorn for you and me. For three days Jack had been obsessed with this guy, so I just had to take a picture.


Finally got to walk through the castle.

I think that The Taggarts should use this as their next Christmas Card! Notice Katie in the bottom left corner. She's a real roller coaster veteran now!

Once last ride on the roller coaster!
Just before leaving California Adventure tonight.

Thanks for the car keys, Dad!

Don't you just love California Adventure?! Glad to hear that you are still having a wonderful time--it's almost like another world there, isn't it? Time goes by differently, everyone is SO nice, and there's nothing like spending your entire day having FUN!

LOVE the coaster pics. :) And I've never seen the snowmonster popcorn turner--VERY cool! I can totally understand Jack's fascination...

Hope you catch Captain Jack! He is very fun to talk with. Would love to see a picture of him and his namesake together. Hope that you guys get to see the Aladdin show and maybe get Jack back on Tower of Terror--we'd love to see his expression on that ride. :)

Have a great Thursday! Lisa
