Tate didn't get the memo about the Happiest Place on Earth

So Tate had been talking all week about how he wanted to see Mickey and how excited he was to go to disneyland. The day finally arrived and Tate woke up really early with much excitment and anticipation. Tate started getting really impatient because the park didn't even open until 10:00 and he had to wait 3 hours still. Finally we got out the door and got to the park. We asked Tate if he wanted to go on a ride and he strongly said, "NO". We practically dragged him on it. We made the big mistake of bringing him on Snow White's Scary Adventure first. I didn't notice the "Scary", in the title. Opps! He did not like it.



After that the rest of the day was a fight, trying to get him to go on any ride. He did not trust us. We did like Casey Jr. Circus Train and the Tea Cups though. Later on Austin, Tate's Cousin, joined us. That helped a little bit. Finally the time came to go theough Mickeys house and see Mickey.......Tate got scared. He wouldn't even walk near Mickey. Karen, Matt's sister, was extra nice and offered to watch Austin, Tate and Addie so that we could go on Hollywood Hotel of Terror, in California Adventures, That is one awesome ride. Good for us, by the end of the day Tate was exhausted..



The Second day went alot better luckily. We still had some scared issues, but it went much smoother. Tate especially enjoyed seeing the charactors this day. Things even worked out were Tate and Addie would be good for us so that one of us coulf leave and go on some more adult rides. Then we would swap turns. Over all though I still love Disneyland. It's just a little bit of a different experiance with kids. Well it's great for the memories, right?

That's too bad. It's so frustrating when you spend all that money and it's not the best experience ever. I'm glad you're back though.

Disneyland is so much fun! I would love to take my kids some day. Maybe when we get our tax return we can go. How was it with the baby being there all day long?

Disney with the kids is sooo much fun. When we were in Disneyworld Nikki would get up early every morning and the minute she was ready she would run for the door and yell "Ready". We were at the park every morning when it opened. I can't wait to do it again!

Welcome back and kudos for braving such a long drive with young munchkins. The bird video made me laugh!
