Disneyland

Last Thursday we left midmorning for the trek down to Disney, and actually made it by around 5/5:30pm. Despite the overcast weather, and eventual rain, we all had a great time. There were not many characters around, so not much for Charlie to be frightened of. We had breakfast on Friday at the Storyteller's Cafe in the Grand Californian Hotel, with Chip and Dale, and by the end, Charlie was playing peek-a-boo with Chip :)









Dumbo was ridden several times especially for Debi's benefit, but Charlie seemed to enjoy that and the carousel the best! Oh, and the train around Disney as well as Casey's Circus Train. I think he also liked the Nemo sub ride too :)

















We didn't make it to Critter Country, where Tigger and Pooh are until Saturday morning, and the ride and surrounding area was actually shut down because the cars could not stay on their tracks due to rain. So we didn't even SEE Tigger or Pooh the entire time we were in Disney, much less ride the ride. I was very disappointed.

However, we were able to get front row "seats" to the Pixar Parade in California Adventure on Friday evening, and Charlie got to see the characters from Monster's Inc, The Incredibles, Toy Story, and the best one of all, Cars :) However, it was raining pretty hard at that point, so we was well tucked into the stroller. It was not until after Mater and Lightning were gone, that he started talking about them. Perhaps he was in awe!







Here's a few pics, but all of them are up at FB.
