Guess who finally made it to Disneyland? That’s right, we took Ruby to the Happiest Place on Earth had a blast on her very 1st visit. Thank goodness, ’cause we were getting some serious heat from the grandparents. :) Even better, Ed + I got Annual Passes, so we’ll be going back quite frequently. Especially with everybody on my side of the family being so into Disneyland, Ruby will undoubtedly get to know the Magic Kingdom very well. We hope she ends up loving it as much as we do.
We headed straight over to our favorite ride at Disneyland – It’s a Small World. We both got a little misty thinking about how many times we’d been on the ride, how much we love it (and all of its beautiful eye candy by Mary Blair!), and how this would be Ruby’s 1st ride ever! Once we walked up to the line, she couldn’t stop staring at the facade, and I couldn’t even get her to turn around for a photo op! Then she got really into watching the boats and waving to all of the people.She was a little tentative at first once we got inside, but then enjoyed all the sights and waving hello to all the kids inside!
I love this pic of her and Daddy:
We also cruised over to ToonTown and met Mickey…
But what Ruby really seemed to love most was watching the River Belle in Frontierland and checking out the ducks!
Mommy + Daddy also had to make a quick stop on Main Street to pick up a Corn Dog. We’re not quite sure why Corn Dogs at Disneyland are so good, but they are – and we hadn’t had one in over 2 years!
We saw a few more things and wrapped up the day by getting Ruby her own set of Mouse Ears. Of course, we wanted the old school ones!
The next day, we decided to go back and check out the scene at the California Adventures Park. We had fun there too on all of the little kiddie rides, but what Ruby loved most was the carousel!
We’re really looking forward to many more visits!
