Day 108 (8 Apr 10 part 2)

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Yes, part 2.  There won’t be nearly as many parts as Day 99, however… Just checking to see if I had rubbed in all of the sunscreen; nothing to see here, move along! A power box lunch: apple slices, cheese stick, yogurt, chocolate milk (they could refill the river with the amount of chocolate milk […]

Day 107 (8 Apr 10): A new day at Mouseville!

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Day 2 started out with a visit to the Jungle Cruise.  Note the traditional animal welcome to the members of a safari! (Click the photos to enlarge, BACK to return!) Falling out of the boat is more fun when the piranha are in season. A baby elephant has come to see use go by. Shades […]

Day 105 (7 Apr 10 part 7): Will this day never end???

Monday, April 12, 2010

That is what Leslee and I were asking at this point…So what do you do for tired, cranky and sore feet (and that was just the Grandparents!)? What else?  Hop the Train! The train runs all around Disneyland, with four trains running this day.  There never seems to be longer than a five minute wait. […]

Day 100 (7 Apr 10 part 2): Main Street USA!

Thursday, April 8, 2010

Just inside the security gate (ask me sometime my opinion…) is a big courtyard between Disneyland and California Adventure.  As always, Disney has great trees and bushes. Once past the ticket booth we see Main Street Station and one of the four trains they had running around the park. Once through this arch we are […]
