The Happiest Place on Earth

Like all good parents we took Ally to Disneyland before she turned 3
and we'd have to pay for her admission. Like bad parents we made the
mistake of taking her on the darkest, scariest little kid ride first, Snow White.
About 90% of the ride is dark black and super scary. Of course she screamed
and cried all while clutching Mommy. The she hated Peter Pan. Philip and I
actually considered calling it a day after $150 in admission and 1 hour of
entertainment.

Luckily we stuck with it and found some things she enjoyed. She really
liked Toon and Town seeing Mickey Mouse. She enjoyed the Casey
Junior ride, the merry go round and Small World. Ally
found the characters fascinating and enjoyed meeting Mickey,
Minnie, Ariel and Pluto up close and personal.


We bought her a stuffed Minnie Mouse, her choice, and she
spent the day carrying her on and off the rides.


By far her FAVORITE ride of the day was the tea cups! We went
on them 3 times and could have gone on them over and over again.
We had the pleasure of meeting our friends John and Katy with their
kids McKenna, Brooklyn and Josiah for a few hours. John snapped
the above picture of Ally on the tea cups. How much do you think
she loved this ride?
