The Breakdown of a Great Disney Day

8:00am: Wake up and play with the tyke for a bit after Daddy feeds him breakfast.

9:30am: Decide that since it's going to be such a lovely day, that we simply must make a trip to Disneyland.


10:00 am: Start getting ready.  Pack some food in the stroller, get my fanny pack ready, and give Stevie a bottle.

11:00 am: Start the drive.  Stevie sleeps the whole way.  Rock out to some grown-up music.


12:30pm: Inside the park.  Mickey and Pluto greet us.




1:00 pm: Find food ASAP.  The corn dog cart line is too long.  Hungry Bear cafe is the next stop.


1:15pm: The manager hooks me up with a free cupcake the size of my head. (Yeah, it pays to know people)


1:20 pm: Consume the best Diet Coke eva.


1:45 pm: First ride. The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.  Stevie is mesmerized.


2:00 pm: Bathroom break & diaper change. {Do we have to?!}


2:15 pm: Second ride. The Jungle Cruise.  Stevie gets splashed by water, which makes him cry.  But he recovers and laughs at the elephants.


2:45 pm: Do some window shopping.

3:00 pm: Head over to CA Adventure for the third and final ride of the day. The Little Mermaid.  Stevie is in love with Ariel and all the fish.


3:30 pm: Leave the park and walk back to the parking structure.



4:00 pm: Get on the road.

5:30 pm: After fighting a bit of traffic, we arrive home.  But Stevie is still sleeping.  Drive around the neighborhood for another half hour so he can get a longer nap.

6:00 pm: We arrive home and are both in a good mood after such a fun day.

We were only there for 3 hours, but sometimes Disneyland is just as magical in small doses.  And I didn't bring my camera for the FIRST TIME EVER.  It was great.  I paid more attention to my baby boyfriend.  We loved every single second.  No time for grumpiness.

I'm a little bitter that George has seen you two twice now and I still haven't. That cupcake looks yummy. ;)
Love the pictures!
