1) the character sightings are always so exciting no matter what! it's woody!
2) coop was tall enough to drive the cars at autopia. he and ry rode off in front of me. i was a distracted driver trying to capture all the moments of my kiddo driving in front of me while coop looked cool as a cucumber!
3) we caught a ride on the storyland boat and since we were in the front of the line, he got to ride right on the deck!
4) ry paid extra to get on to rise of the resistance ride. earlier on, it was shut down so i was trying not to get my hopes up. it was another epic ride. i really wish i was able to take in more of it but it was such an amazing experience!
5) while we were waiting in line for pirates of the caribbean (almost 40 mins because no lightning lane available), ry unexpectedly announced that he preordered some beignets, coffees and hot cocoa which would be ready soon after we exited the ride!
6) out of all the times i've been to disneyland, i don't recall riding the mark twain riverboat. thanks to coopy, we hopped on to the second to the highest level (the top one was closed) and enjoyed a nice ride on the ferry!
7) i guess toontown is no longer a thing but ry reserved another new exclusive ride "mickey's runaway railway" which brought us to this area. here's my happy kiddo on one of the cars!
8) after leisurely boarding the big thunder mountain ride thanks to the lightning lane again, coop immediately wanted to ride it again. after we scarfed down some skewers and rice for dinner (our first legit meal of the day at nearly 6pm!), i went back in line with the kid to ride it again! so epic and even more intense without ry in the seat with us. my little dude, such the thrillseeker!
9) we weren't sure what our next step was as it approached 8:30pm and found ourselves back near the ferry entrance. it began to pour rain so coop and i dashed into the line for pirates of the caribbean to ride it again and seek shelter from the storm! poor ry. at least he had an oversized umbrella to stand under for a bit lol
10) we spent nearly 14 hours at disneyland. literally from the moment we stepped out of the hotel, children were melting down at 7:30am. all around me, i was super aware of the tears, whines, complaints of those around us. fortunately, we were all in good spirits on the walk back to the hotel. even ry, as he limped for nearly 10 miles with his injured knee. what a trooper!
