You can have Edward Cullen...We'll take Mickey Mouse, and the trip begins on page 101

This is the day we decided to go to DCA. I was so glad to sleep in. DCA doesn't open until 10 am instead of the 6 am wake up I opted for sleeping in until 8 am. And I was able to push it just a little further because we were going to eat at the Pacific Wharf Cafe. They have these great bread bowls with scrambled eggs and bacon. My oldest child Berht is crazy about bacon, but she opted out and had a chocolate muffin.

Here we are waiting in line for the bus in the Pumba parking lot.

"Cool folding bike!"

One of my favorite parts of DCA and they are getting rid of it.

They had these all over the park and we thought they were really cute.

Sights from the Wharf.

The kids rushing to breakfast. Berht in her natural pose....cell phone in hand.

Almost there!!

While we were eating we were serenaded by this fantastic strolling mariachi band.

They even played Small World. You have never heard Small World until you have heard it done by a mariachi band.

After breakfast we went to meet the three B's. This is one of the woderful sights we passed.

I was feeling the color!!

WBG had never noticed the elephants before.

Great quartet rocking the oldies back in the backlot area in front of the Animation Building.

We were on our way to meet the three B's at the Tower of Terror. NC and Loho went ahead were on it with Bawb.

The ToT

I swear all sorts of people walk past you....

The weather was a little warm on a couple of days, but for the most part the weather was perfect. It breaks my heart that they are taking it down. Of course the real Golden Gate is only about 45 miles from me. Thanks we would love to see that, and remember any cool bikes too!!

Wonderful posts. Boo is so adorable!

Great news that you have no more infection. Hopefully well on your road to recovery. Was hoping Loho's leg would be kind to him on your trip but guess that failed. Fingers are crossed he gets the surgery quickly so he too can be on the road to recovery with you.

Love the pics! Andrew really wants to hear that oldies quartet ... I think he came across them on Youtube or something and has it on our must find list!

Didn't know about the breakfast bread bowls ... hmmmm.... my list if ever growing!

 

[Marshay]

oh, the breakfast bowl concept sounds great! I've done the soup bowls before but never breakfast.

I love the pic of the "mountain" in shape of an animal. OK, what is that called? I'm not familiar with the rides there. Anyway, it looks so cool like it's coming out of the trees.

I guess I didn't realize the Pacific Wharf did breakfast either....we've done the soup bowls many times!! I love the all woman Mariachi band....we saw them in 2005 & I was quite impressed on how good they were!!

I'm excited for the changes coming to DCA, but also sad to see some of things go.......I love the California letters in the esplanade, I love the bridge over the entry....especially when the monorail travels thru it.....I miss the Mickey Head being on the loop of Screamin'......but I'm sure the changes will be just as exciting....at least in my dreams they are.....lol

They are good especially if they give you butter to go with it.

I believe they call it Grizzly Peak. There is a hole wilderness are for the kids to play in. With mountain climbing, and rope bridges and such.

How could he miss the bike?

I am sad to see the letters and the bridge go. But, honestly I think the pier looks pretty cool with the changes.

That's what I liked. The colors are so wonderful. I think it all has to do with the hole World of Color thing they have going on.

Hi there!!

Okay so this is a picture on the sign for The Beverly, which is my mom's first name!!

The guys peeking out of the toy box.

I can hardly wait to see this!!

One of the animators from Off The Page.

Boo on her second trip through the line to see Handy Manny. She forgot to hug him the first trip through.

Boo nomming on some cotton candy.

Bawb nomming on cotton candy too.

Next we started walking over to the GCH to have lunch at White Water Snacks. There were a few nacho eaters in our group. Nerdy Cookies requests just two meals at Disneyland Nachos from either White Water or Croc Bits and Bites at the DLH and a Mickey pancake from the Riverbelle Cafe. Now was time to fulfill one of her meals.

On our way Boo made a couple more friends.

We also visited the shop across from Soarin'.

We kept Boo busy for a while so that Belan could at in peace.

She loves to pose!

Is the Beverly new?? I don't remember seeing that before??

 

[GoofySon'sMom]

Love the toys peaking out of the box! And Boo is just too cute!

 

[rentayenta]

I agree that Boo is a doll. I am loving all your pictures.

I think it might be. It is on the wall at the end of the street.

Aren't they. I just thought they were adorable. Just wait I have more of her.

Thanks. She is real cute. Loren is with them today doing the family bbq circuit with their family. And Bawb will probably at our house tomorrow.


Monday is Kody's 16 birthday. Disneyland was in loo of any parties for anyone. So, it is just the dinner of their choice and cake or whatever. Kody has requested homemade macaroni and cheese, with brownie and ice cream instead of cake.
