Disneyland, Day Two!








The second day of Disneyland was also lots of fun. We got there right about 8 am right after the gates had opened, so we were able to go on some great rides really early before there were huge lines (Finding Nemo Submarine, Buzz Lightyear, Dumbo, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Winnie the Pooh). During the Submarine ride, there is a really dark and scary part which JJ did not enjoy. He kept saying "I want home, I want home." It was sad, but luckily that part didn't last very long.

I think JJ's favorite ride of the weekend was Dumbo. He probably would have rode it over and over, but by the time we got quickly through the line, the line was really long so we only went on it once. The funniest thing was that Brian was in the elephant in front of JJ and I and whenever he would "fly" down when we were up, JJ would scream, "no daddy, no daddy, I want daddy!" It was pretty funny!

After the rides we got to meet a few characters including Minnie Mouse who JJ was enthralled with. I think he has a crush on her : )

After all the morning fun, we were walking through the park with JJ in his new "mouse hat" (as JJ calls it) and the next thing we noticed was that the hat was slouching a little in the stroller and sure enough, JJ was sound asleep! Apparently he decided that 2 days of Disneyland was enough!

Brian and I walked around for awhile until JJ woke up and some of our friends came to meet us for lunch in Downtown Disney before heading home. JJ was a little crazy at lunch, at one point he shoved his milk glass at Brian and it spilled all over (Brian kind of deserved it though because he was teasing him!). It was very evident that he'd had a fun filled and slightly overwhelming weekend and he was ready to go home. We had a great weekend and JJ did better than I had expected. Don't tell JJ, but we have 3 day passes, so we will be able to go one more day before December!
