Disneyland 3/8/11

When we got to Disneyland on Tuesday we headed over to find out where we could meet Tinkerbell. Delphia started to love Tinkerbell right around Christmas time and really wanted to meet her.We found the spot and then stood in line for what seemed like forever. Delphia made a wish with a penny in Tinkerbell's pond. We finally got up to the waiting area and took a picture of Delphia by the "Welcome" sign while we waited for our turn to go back.



You always get to meet Tink and one of her friends. The other fairy that Delphia got to meet was Vidia.



Then it was off to meet Tink. We rounded the corner but there were still people in front of us. Delphia saw Tink and yelled, "Hi Tink!" When it was her turn she went up and gave her a giant hug. Tink asked her if she wanted a picture of them pulling funny faces, so that's what the second one is.



Then come to find out, the only way to meet princesses is to wait in line. They no longer just wander the park. So, we waiting in line for almost an hour. We were guarenteed to meet 3 princesses, but you didn't know who you would meet until you waited in the line and got back there. Delphia really wanted to meet Belle and Cinderella but when we got back there she met, Snow White, Jasmine and Aurora.







Later in the week we went and asked if they could tell us who was back there. They told us for sure that Belle was but by the time we stood in line that she might no longer be one of the princesses. Delphia decided that she wanted to ride some rides and not stand in a long line.

You have to park in a parking lot and then be bused to Disneyland. Delphia thought the buses were pretty cool and she liked to ride in the very back that was higher up than the rest of the bus.



When we came back from lunch that day we headed over to California Adventure and she got to meet Captain Mickey. Grandma Freeman wated a picture of her kissing Mickey on the cheek but Shane didn't have the camera ready, so we missed it!



Then it was King Triton's Carousel. We decided to let Josie ride and she had fun!



Delphia had seen the big ferris wheel over the water and really wanted to ride it. I was fine with that as long as we were in a car that held still and didn't swing back and forth. Still, I got to the top and looked out and just wanted to be down, but we ended up going around twice.



It didn't seem to bother Delphia, Josie or Shane but it is defintely not my favorite ride.

We then passed Jessie and Woody from Toy Story but they were heading out and we didn't get to meet them. Delphia was very upset, but we assured her that would find them and get a picture with them.

Instead we found a toy box from Toy Story so we got a picture of Delphia being goofy in it.



The day before she saw Mickey Mouse balloons inside a clear balloon everywhere and she really wanted one. We found the balloon guy and so we bought her one and she had a ball with it all week.



During the week she was playing with it one morning and she hit it on the ceiling and punctured the clear outer balloon. She was upset nd we didn't know what to do and certainly didn't want to buy another $7 balloon so we thought out of the box and put a bandaid on it that we had bought at Costco earlier because my feet had sores from my soes. The bandaid did the trick and everyone was happy!

We weren't sure how we were going to take the balloon home and hoped that it would have no float left in it. However, Saturday came and it was still floating to the ceiling. Shane took it in the bathroom and popped the outer balloon and came back out and told her that she couldn't take it on the plane but that she could go let it go outside and it would float back to Disneyland. (As I am typing this she is telling us that she didn't want to let it go and that next time we can't go on a plane.)

That night we went on the Tea Cups and she had a ball turning the wheel and spinning. I personally was a little dizzy but Delphia loved it!
