Our Trip - Day 1

What a day! It felt very long, yet flew by. Our morning began with getting up at 5 in the morning so that we could catch our 7:30 flight. We love getting to the airport pretty early. First, because we always get breakfast from Burger King before we fly out. And second, we fly enough, but not too much, so we still get excited at the airport and love the atmosphere there. Anyway, we sat on the plane by a really sweet girl from Utah who now lives in LA and works for Disney studios. It was fun getting talking to her and helped the flight go by faster. The flight was smooth with only a few bumps here and there. We landed safely and went out to get our luggage and car rental. Our luggage came much quicker than usual. Our car ended up being a cute, black Toyota Yaris. It's a really little 4-door car, but with more room than you'd think. Ryan has decided it'll be the next car we buy.

We drove over and parked at Mickey and friends and took the tram over to Disneyland. We got fast passes for Splash Mountain (since it was bloody hot, and we knew we'd need to get wet!) and hopped on Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. Then we went to eat lunch at my favorite place, The Hungry Bear. I had my funnel cake (which was AWESOME!) and we were visited by a look a like kitty of our cat, Beast. From there, it was time to use our fast passes, so we avoided a 45 minute line and watched as everyone scowled at us as we passed them in line.

After that, we decided to head over to California Adventure. We went right to the back of the park and went on Screamin and then Toy Story Mania. And usually we don't bother going on Maliboomer (since we have The Rocket at Lagoon), but the line was so short that we decided to go on that one. Then our last ride of the day was Grizzly River Run. We decided that since it was really hot and we were tired from getting up so early, that we would go back to the hotel early and get some extra rest so that we would have as much energy as possible for today. We are heading over to Magic Mountain today and will get to go on some more extreme rides than what Disneyland has to offer. I'm hoping to have some fun pictures of our day today. Here are the few that we took yesterday.
