Disneyland - August 2011

Here we are at Disneyland, again. With this trip, we enjoyed the company of the Minors, another family of past (and future) students of DeeAnn. They are a fun family and enjoy Disneyland as much as we do!

Since we last visited, The Little Mermaid and Goofy's Sky School rides were finished and opened, along with a new restaurant in the area of Goofy's sky school. This is a picture of the chicken kabob DeeAnn ordered. Pretty good. I had a ravioli (not pictured here) that was pretty good as well. I look forward to going back. They have seating for lots of people so it should be a popular destination.

Disneyland cannot be complete without characters, in any form. Here Jaycie and Brenda meet Goofy.

One of the fun events we wanted them to experience, was a breakfast with the characters. i don't think they were disappointed! And the food is surprisingly good.

Braden and Jaycie meet Geppetto.

The kids and Rusty meet Rafiki.

Rusty and Rafiki have a "man" moment

Captain Hook made an appearance, even though he shamelessly flirted with my wife.

Geppetto is asked to sign his autograph

The Fairy Godmother makes wishes come true

Here's a few pictures from the new Little Mermaid Ride. Very cute ride though it only takes 2 minutes for the whole ride.

We usually really enjoy Disneyland, but it was very crowded and hot. I'm ready to take a break from Disneyland though I am looking forward to Orlando this fall.

Hidden Mickey's all over the park

Woody in Lego's

The mist machines were certainly popular

And the water rides were popular, with good reason!
