When we were a young couple with a little girl to raise, Disneyland and Disneyworld provided us with endless hours of great joy when we could not only watch the delight in our daughter's eyes and hear her laughter and squeals...but time when my husband and I could become kids again too. It is the place where you can once again have the heart of a child. I had dreamed of taking my daughter back, with her husband who had never been, and of course our grandson. At 9, this was the perfect time for him to go and have the time of his life. We all did! I apologize for posting more, but please bear with me. Here are more shots of that amazing four days....
This is Crush from Finding Nemo "talking" to our grandson and son-in-law! That was very cool!
Our grandson trying to remove Excaliber from the stone!
Splash Mountain is awesome...Song of the South motif throughout. Oh, and something else we loved was Soaring over California.
It's a Bug's Life!
Saving the Universe!
Monster's Inc. was great!
And Star Tours was excellent! My hubby was fortunate enough to have a pic made with a storm trooper. We also loved Indiana Jones!
The old favorites like the steamboat were just like we remembered!
I had sworn I would ride the Hollywood Tower of Terror, and true to my word, I did....BUT I was hanging on my husband's arm, terrified, and though I am glad I did it, I swear I will never do it again! It is really something! Incidently, our grandson couldn't handle this one either!
The kids enjoyed the pirate ship. As always, Pirates of the Caribbean was wonderful also! And we had a lovely dinner at the Blue Bayou restaurant, adjacent to Pirates of the Caribbean. Our server had been there 38 years...she had to have been there when we had been to Disneyland with our daughter! Of course we couldn't know if she had waited on us all those years ago.
A break for ice cream.
More fun on the boardwalk at Paradise Pier.
Our grandson LOVED the pool!
And here is a parting shot of Thunder Mountain at dusk. I have a dozen more pictures but I will give you all a rest! It was SO WONDERFUL!!!! I'm so thankful we were able to go.
