excited to be going back but, had to wait on Zoe, as she was having a test at school and was advised not to miss it...get to Disneyland and it was kind of crowded...we kind of had a funny feeling about crowds when just getting into the parking structure, and they made us go a completely different way than they did just 5 days previously... and Tim thought we should go home, but we decided to make the best of it and stay and see what happened...
when we first got to Main Street, we met Pluto and since we got a pic with Sian a couple of days previously, Zoe got a picture also...Main Street was pretty hectic, but we still have this plan to try to make the best of the day and see...
the first place we went was Small World and only Zoe and I went on...we had a good time on the ride, but of course it my favorite of all time...
Tim decided that he would take Zoe to Toon Town and we would go to see if we could get a reservation at the restaurant that has outdoor seating in New Orlean's Square...Cafe Orleans...
we got one and they met us...now, I love the Blue Bayou restaurant also in New Orleans Sq. but, since it is a little pricey, we decided to give this one a try and we were not disappointed...we got seated right along the walkway and it was facing the river and we could see the riverboat...while sitting there, a band of pirate musicians serenaded us...Zoe pointed out a little girl, maybe a little older than herself that was in full pirate costume, she looked cute...the 3 adults ordered the Monte Cristo sandwiches, which were absolutely delicious...OMGoodness sooooo good...they serve a big portion, which really Greg and I could have shared...Zoe ordered the Gumbo, and then promptly hated it as she saw onions in it...no problem, Grandpa came to the rescue for her and I shared my sandwich with her...notice the pirate hat Zoe is wearing?? that is the kid's menu and then a hat afterwards, cute...Tim also got his request Mint Julep...
Zoe and Tim decide to trek on over to the Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer's Island while Greg and I were finishing our lunch and they had a ball...took a ton of pics...
the Winnie the Pooh ride was next tho, Greg did not go on with us...very cute...if you know me, you know I love Pooh and this ride lived up to my expectations...you get on a little hunny pot and it takes you into Pooh land, where it is Pooh's birthday...part of the ride is pooh dreaming and there are psychedelic images of Tigger and other images...really cute but the ride is very short...of course I had to go into the Pooh shop where they sell what else, but all things Pooh...
Tim and Zoe then went on Tarzan's treehouse, which she loved...never would have gotten Greg or I up the winding stairs...
notice the pic of the Minnie and Mickey decorated candy apples??? is that not one of the cutest things you've ever seen???
it was still crowded in the park, but we were not ready to go home quite yet and decided to head on over to Calif. Adventure and on the way out had Zoe stop in front of the same sign that Si stood by to take pics...I will have some of the same pics of both the girls, on different days for the scrapbook, pretty cute, right???
now, this park was not as busy and we were able to walk around with ease and we went to one of my favorites, which is Bug's Land...no matter how many times we go, I always enjoy the show,
"It's Tough to be a Bug..." I love it when they try to swat you with a fly swatter and the bug spray that is sprayed on you is so funny when it first hits people...I laugh every time...then, when they poke you on the back and when the bugs are leaving the theater and they "run" across your feet and people scream, it's hilarious...Tim and Zoe went on several rides in Bug's Land...
we took a short walk around the Paradise Pier and we all got an ice cream...
we all went on the Toy Story ride, where you ride and at the same time, shoot guns at targets and try to get the highest score...Greg and Tim did pretty well, Zoe was good and I was awful...I have trouble aiming at the targets correctly...
notice I am wearing the tee shirt Tim got me from Tokyo Disney???
all in all a very good day...happy birthday Timothy...it is amazing all of the people that tell you "happy birthday"when you are wearing your birthday pin...
