Our very first ride at Disneyland was the Finding Nemo submarine ride. We waited in line for 30 minutes in the drizzling rain for this ride. We were expecting it to be awesome, it was so lame that even poor Kynan fell asleep during it! (See the pics!!) Lucky this was the only ride that was not great - the rest we went on were awesome! Kynan in particular is a little thrill seeker - he went on everything from Dumbo, the teacups, Buzz Lightyear, Haunted mansion, Space Odyssey, Roger Rabbit and many more! The cheeky sausage loved them all. We loved the holiday version of "It's a small world" it was gorgeous!!! We saw the ride at night all lit up with christmas lights and festive attire. Disneyland sure knows how to put on a ... read more

One Valium was not enough for me as we made our way through the Brisbane international airport with Kynan… Not that he was naughty or a pain, it was the realisation of the fact we were taking an 18mth old on his first long distance flight to a country we had not been.

Cause I smilled at him and his wife and they smilled back. Mark’s reply was one of laughter and of mocking me. Opps, looks like the bush has finally been taken ... read more

Today we tackled Disneyland for Day 2, we were greeted with beautiful sunshine (the first we have seen in the States), we packed prepared for the weather to turn bad, but thankfully it was the best day yet! The first thing to do on our list - Complete Toon Town - we were lucky enough to meet both Mickey and Minnie as well as other cool characters! It was great to walk through their mini mouse houses! We took pictures in the cars and doing other crazy stuff. We even managed to fit in another ride on “it’s a small world” as well as having a go on Alice in wonderland’s ride, the tea cups and the circus train. We could not complete as many rides today as there were heaps of people - I guess ... read more
