Well, we have been planning our trip to Disneyland for weeks now. We knew the day we were going to go and today was the day! We had planned to let Branden take the day off. However where we live was so windy that school was called off that morning anyway. So even better for us, Branden didn't have to miss a day of school either then, ha ha ha. We considered calling off our day the day before because some light rain was planned. But we decided no way! There was no guarantee it wouldn't be raining next week either. So might as well give it a go, today as planned! So glad we went, we had the best best best time ever really!!! Here's a pic of Noboru and Noah inside the Roger rabbit Taxi ride in Toon Town! The lines was non existent! I think the rain deterred people from going to Disneyland, which only meant no wait for us for any rides, yippy! We'd totally go on a rainy day again! : )
We rode every single ride in the park twice! And many rides we rode 4-5 times (100% seriously), only because there was no line at all! First Noboru rode with Branden! Oh they had fun! Meanwhile my little Noah rode with me! He's at an age, where he absolutely loves it, Noah was clapping and going, "ohhhh look mommy look" "one more", when he wanted to do the ride all over again! Ha ha ha!
There wasn't even a 5 minute wait! Just as soon as we got off the ride and got back into the line is as soon as we rode again. This time we switched and I rode with B and Noboru rode with Noah! I like riding with Branden, because we can really go around and around fast! Ha ha ha. I am a ton more gentle when I ride with Noah, we don't spin at all actually! Ha ha ha! : )
Fake rubber bars that all kids love to pretend they are really strong and bending them back with "all" their might!!!! Ha ha ha! As soon as the pic was taken, Goofy came out and took a pic with all of us. It's a cute family photo. I think Goofy hangs around here since it is the "dog pound" and all! Ha ha ha!
Lunch where most everything is in the shape of a Mickey mouse shape, ha ha ha! We ordered 3 chicken sandwiches, 1 pizza. 3 french fries and 3 drinks. All of us shared everything. Noah ate the pizza and since Branden dislikes onions (just like Noboru) he had the same kinda chicken sandwich, Noboru and I had. It was good to get a good quick lunch and then we were back to riding more rides.
Goofing around, my son the walrus! Ha ha ha! : )
After a full tummy and 2 or 3 rides, Noah fell asleep in the stroller safe and sound. I bundled him up in the blankie I packed from home. We bought this blanket from Disneyland last year by the way. Both kids wearing fleecey jeans and long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts. They were plenty warm. I also brought their down filled jackets in case of emergency and also brought their rain boots in the car for just in case. But we never needed them because it never rained that severe enough for us to need them.
I sat with a sleeping Noah, while Noboru and Branden rode the race cars. Branden drove! Ha ha ha! He had a fun time driving! Typical boys, they sure love cars don't they? : )
I love this picture because my son wasn't even aware that I took it, of him. Totally happy face, he just finished riding the cars he was *so* happy! I'm just glad I captured this picture. Noboru busted me, he saw me right away! Darn it! Ha! : )
There's a world of laughter, a world of cheer" blah blah blah blah! Sing it with me!!!! Okay, never mind! LOL! The "It's A Small World" after all, ride never gets boring! It's always just so cute and fun! And it's nice because all 4 of us can actually ride all together in 1 row! So that's nice too! : )
The Haunted Mansion ride!!! So much fun! It's Disneyland, so it's kid friendly of course! Both my kids love this ride neither of them have ever been afraid of this ride at all. It's so much fun actually! We rode this ride honestly 5 times. The ride was 5 minutes or less all times! I'm seriously not kidding about the wait time! Fwiw, in the summer time, when we go to Tokyo Disneyland. It gets so crowded that, we are lucky if we get to ride *5 rides total*, the entire day and night! That's because the usual wait time is 120 minutes per ride. Yes 2 hours! So for us, going on a rainy day, didn't bother us one single bit, we got to ride all the rides multiple times! Yeah sure we wore rain coats, so what! We live in Japan, we're used to it! He! : ) And mostly all the rides are indoors anyways, so we were never really in the rain at all, unless we were walking from ride to ride that is.
My little Noah watching the afternoon Disney parade! Each of us has our own popcorn holder with popcorn in it. Tokyo Disneyland has great popcorn, choices are many! They sell them in little carts all over the park, they have chocolate popcorn, caramel popcorn (my fav), coconut popcorn, curry popcorn, salt popcorn, and strawberry popcorn and honey flavored popcorn as well. Each of us picks our own flavor we want! Also, see the ground near Noah? It was dry dry dry! Honestly for about 70% of the day it didn't rain at all! Even the pic where Noboru and Branden were at the car races there was no rain either, remember? However with the rain in the morning, is why many people didn't show up. It did rain in bits and pieces though. Sprinkles is more like it though.
Father and son watching the Disney parade! Everyone munching their own popcorn bucket of course! Ha ha ha! : )
Mickey Mouse, he always kicks off all the parades! As he should! : )
Pinocchio!
Alice and Wonderland! And that mad mad mad hatter!!! LOL! : )
It started to sprinkle some during the end of the parade! But it didn't matter to a kid at all! I can see the magic in Branden's eye, as he looks up at those characters who he thinks the absolute world of!
Very few sprinkles, but I flipped the rain cover over Noah's stroller ASAP! He didn't mind in the least, because he was just enthralled in the parade!
Mary Poppins and Bert! Ha ha ha! : )
Put em' up partner! That's Woody the sheriff over there!
This is Buzz Lightyear from Star command, do you read me? LOL! : )
This very well coulda been everyone in the entire park, seriously. Just a very small crowd. Slim amounts of people and as night grew on, the people were less and less. By the time night rolled around, not many people at all.
