Starting the ride

Cutie Pie, what?

The view from the top

I really wanted to ride the Sun Wheel in the California Adventure park. However, DH thought it would be too scary for the kids. I think he really thought it would be too scary for him. Finally, on the last day, right before we left the park for the last time, I got to ride it. It was a blast. All Ferris Wheels should be like this. When the wheel goes around, your little car slides along its track, and you end up facing straight down (or up).

I think this is my favorite ride of all time.

As did Cinderella;
she’s Pulguito’s favorite.

We had dinner one night at Ariel’s Grotto in California Adventure. The kids got off on seeing the princesses. The women who were playing the princesses were great. The food was okay; I had soup and salad. I do recommend it. We went as a drop-in for a 4:15 seating and had no problem getting in.

The “professional” pictures of us with the characters were horrible. I don’t care how much (or little) Disneyland wanted for a print; those pictures would not have been worth it. The quality of the photographers at Disneyland was terrible.

I had to bribe Pulguito to get him to go on this ride. We thoroughly traumatized him by taking him on Snow White. I’m sure everyone could hear him scream when the wicked queen jumped out. (sigh)
