Before Disneyland opens a new ride, they let annual passholders in for a sneak preview. They have a lottery to determine who gets to attend and we won! We headed up to Disneyland to fight the heat and the crowds and be one of the first to ride the Toy Story Mania in California Adventure Park. Surprise! She turned out to be a 4D ride and you had to wear these glasses and the Choob kept his on the ENTIRE time and Dan & I were having the most fun just laughing at how ridiculous he looked in them. Overall the ride was pretty cool but it made me seasick. Please look at Dans Shirt. He loves it. I hate it! He calls it "Guitar Hero". I call it UGLY shirt from Walmart that I have seen at least 5 twelve year old boys wearing. I have to pick my battles though because he has another shirt named "Guitar Hero 2" (think guitars and barbed wire and random paint splashes) that puts this one to shame. Where are the fashion police when you need them?
This time we let Lukey boy shoot the gun all by himself on the Buzz Lightyear ride and he did GREAT! He earned all 6,100 points on his own. Dan hit the jackpot because the ride broke down right infront of a target and he just kept shooting it over and over again thus explaining his astronomical score. 
Choob LOVES the Pixar Parade so we set up camp an hour early at a table right in front so we could get prime seats for the parade. I don't know what it is about parents and getting spots for the parade but it is seriously a brutal happening. You have to be cutthroat to keep your spot. So many people tried to edge us out. I may or may not have gently nudged some sneaky mom with our stroller to get her out of our spot. Um also, please look at fluorescent monochromatic asian cowboy behind Dan and Luke in the above picture. Seriously what? Even with all my territory staking tactics we got edged out by a swarm of peeps as the parade music started. If you guys haven't seen this parade it's a MUST! It's all the pixar characters and the floats squirt water and bubbles and happiness for all.
This is Luke's favorite place at Disneyland. No matter what, we have to stop at the "indy jones...indy jones" store so choob can play with these wind chimes for-ev-er. I think he likes this better than most of the rides.
His favorite place on the California Adventure side is the area right out infront of Monsters Inc. He LOVES that movie and loves to see boo's door and mike and sully. 
He loves to play in the car they have sitting out front too. Usually I wait in line while Dan & Luke play on the stuff out front and then they cut in at the last minute. I know, totally annoying that we are "those people" huh?

I want to go to Disneyland with you guys! You probably know all the tricks and secrets! Plus, I've never even been to CA adventure park! I NEED to come visit you and I NEED to go to Disneyland. Oh, and Nathan NEEDS to TOO!!! How about the end of OCT???
First of all, I loved the shout-out to the trend-setting westerner (or..easterner...) in the background of that one shot. I seriously am so jealous that you guys get to go to Disneyland all the time. Little Luke looks like such a doll...it must be fun to take a kid that is old enough to appreciate all the great stuff Disneyland has to offer.
ohhh, so funny and so true. we missed the boise 4th of july parade and i almost cried. and not that it matters, but i dislike disneyland. am i banned from your blog now?
