Disneyland August 2011 - Day 4 (Post 5 of 7)

Rachel - Almost 2.5 years old.  Joey - 5 months old.
Thursday, August 4th, 2011. 

We started the day at the Winnie the Pooh ride. 



While we were waiting we met these two girls from China.  They were enamored with Rachel.  They took pictures of themselves with her then made it their phone background.  Of all the characters and things at Disneyland.

My friend Shannon is a stage manager at Disneyland.  She sits in the fancy chair and calls the shots with the big shows.  Shannon and I were roommates at BYU where she was studying theater.  It was super fun to see her doing her thing.  As a side note.  She got us passes to sit by the stage manager during "Fantasmic."  It was super cool.

She tried to get us a one on one with Mickey, who she had just been working with.  Again... He vanished. 


Tram ride in the jungle.



We found Rebecca, Nate, Annie and Gracie,  and look who is in the background.  Mickey.   Mickey's bodyguard said Mickey needed to get ready for his date with Minnie and had to go.  The tricky thing is they are only allowed one Mickey Mouse in the park.  If he is on stage somewhere then he cannot be in another part of the park. 




Ice cream on Main Street.


Waiting in line for the Finding Nemo submarine we ran into our chinese friends.  They tempted us with a shorter wait by line jumping to be with them.  But, we stuck it out.  The kids were having fun with Daddy.


We got to the front of the line where they told us that Joey could not go on the ride with bare feet.  What?!  Apparently most of the rides have this rule but don't enforce it.  A nearby lady overheard our plight and happened to have a spare set of socks for her kid.  Things worked out.
