Disneyland Day 4 - March 9, 2008

On Sat. and Sun., the hotel guests get in 1 hour early to the park... we tried that yesterday but Garret was too sick to leave. So, today we all got up early (and because of daylight savings time.. that was EARLY) and headed for the park. We went straight to Finding Nemo as it is "new" and popular with a long wait. We only waited about 15-20 minutes and it was very cute. Grandma and the kids liked it. Then we walked over to the Buzz Lightyear ride again.. but before we got on, Garret felt sick. After a quick re-evaluation.. Grandma and Grandpa brought him back to the room and the rest of us continuued on. We went on the Buzz Lightyear ride again, the Astro Orbitor, plus Autotopia...



Then we headed over to have some breakfast with the characters. We saw quite a few, Chip, Max, Tigger, Fairy Godmother, Minnie Mouse, and others.

After a big breakfast we went to Big Thunder Railroad. Conner went on that one alone while we waited. Marc and I are not big on "rollercoaster" type rides. That and cantaloupe are the reason we love each other!

Then we took a scary trip out to Tom Sawyer's Island (a new girl was learning how to run the raft.. ugh..). We got back safely and although we didn't get pictures... we did see Captain Jack Sparrow!

We headed up and took a ride at the Haunted Mansion and then went and sat for the Tiki Room show. Back to the room to check on Garret and swim and snack. We hope tonight to watch the parade and we had reservations for dinner at the Rainforest Cafe (Conner's choice.. it is his birthday today!.. oh my--- 13 yikes!).

Poor Garret is feeling miserable (see photo above) and Katie and Conner are having a tough time having fun without him. Who knew they loved their brother so much? They have all managed to buy souvenirs along the way. I am hoping Garret will feel better tomorrow.. or it could be a LONG plane ride home.
