Disneyland

Day 2 started out with a special treat! We were able to go into Toon Town an hour early for a special show and chance to meet the characters before the rush from the rest of the park!
But even with our tickets the line to get it in was INSANE!

But once we got to Toon town it was only about 100 people with the tickets and so the lines for the characters and rides were super short! We meet Minnie
Chip and Dale
Rode in a few of the Characters cars
Stopped and visited their houses
Spencer's favorite thing in Toon Town was the door to the Power Plant, it sparked and lite up when you opened it (like you were being shocked) and both the boys thought it was HILARIOUS!!!
and then we settled in for the show....
where we all became honorary Toon Town Citizens!!

You might notice that they have 2 different outfits, we had to come back our last day to get pictures because right after the show our camera battery died! It was SUPER SAD but they have a place to charge your batteries so it turned out ok!!! (I almost had a melt down I was so sad but BJ held it together and we got it all taken care of.... :)

After Toon Town the boys and I went to Its a Small World while BJ ran to get the battery charged! (sorry no pics) but the kids loved it and it was our first boat ride so the water was really exciting! But no one fell in! HURRAY! And the boys loved looking for different movie characters hidden in the different countries!

When we found BJ again we went over to Fantasyland and hit up Dumbo and the tea cups!
The boys and I rode on the Carousel and BJ took Spencer on the Maderhorn, which he loved by the way!
We kinda went between Fantasyland and Tomorrow land all through the day depending on our Fastpasses! I really liked Tomorrow land, a lot of the rides I used to love as a kid are there and so it was fun for me to go back! Plus they have Spencer's
FAVORITE RIDE... BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!
We all went on this ride so the boys got to go twice, but after they went a 2nd time with BJ and came out (into the INTENSE toy store) we had our one and only scary moment....ok more like 5 minutes!!
COOPER GOT LOST!
I wanted a picture and Spencer ran off to look at a toy, I went after him, Cooper came after me and BJ was parking the stroller! He thought I had him, I thought he had him!
AAAAHHHH, take a breath!
BJ went looking in the ride and I looked around the store, as time started to pass, I started to get even MORE scared and asked the man at the check out counter! He calmly made a call and then came back and said "I think they have him..... "
Oooooh take another breath!
He was down around the corner! Some cast members had stoped him and were bribing him to stay with stickers! I was SO happy to see him! There were just SO many people and SO many places he could have gone! When I saw him my heart just stopped! I was so grateful! SO needless to say from then on COOPER was buckled in ALL THE TIME!
After our trauma we wanted a cool down ride so we went on Space Tours (my favorite ride as a kid!!) BJ and I both went so Spencer got to go twice, he loved the silly robot that couldn't drive he spaceship!
We got a picture of BJ in his Micky Grad cap and headed over to see the Jedi Training camp!

The put on a great show where they picked kids out of the audience to train to be Jedi then Darth Vador and Dark Mal would come out of the ground and each kid got to fight them with a light savor! Unfortunately both time the Jedi master picked every kid around Spencer but him! The second time he tried really hard to raise his hand and say please pick me but it wasn't meant to be! We practised raising his hand and so while he waited he kept turning around and giving me a thumbs up and saying he was ready! IT WAS SO CUTE! Maybe next time!
After the show we went over to the Nemo submarine ride! This was the longest line! But it was totally worth it!
We stayed for the Dance Party Parade! The sidewalk filled up an hour and half before the show! It was CRAZY how many people there were and how anxious everyone was for a good spot! Luckily we got there just in time and i stayed with the baby while BJ took the kids on a few rides! In the end it was such a GREAT time! The dancing and singing was out of this world! They had TONS of Characters!
And they involved the kids! Spencer was able to go out and dance with the special dancers! He was so excited, and a bit nervous! It was a special end to our 2nd day!

Wow, looks like it was another great day, even if Cooper did get lost... Well, at least he got covered with a load of stickers!! Abby's favorite ride is the Buzz Lightyear too... she and Dad love to compete with the laser guns!!
