Disneyland Day 1 (Part 3)
Up next was a walk down Hollywood Blvd. and the Monsters Inc
ride! I snapped a few park photos on the walk and they give you an idea of weather while we were there... mostly overcast, though low 70's (which is great weather for Oregonians!).
While in line for Monsters Inc, Chase spent quite a bit of his
time with his nose stuffed in his hidden Mickey's book, looking for all the
hidden Mickey's in the queue and on the ride.
Another pretty short line meant a quick ride through for us.
We looked at the time and realized that we had missed the 2:20 showing of Aladdin. Bummer! Instead, it was time forTower of Terror !
This was another super short line. We walked almost directly into the pre-show room and then had about 5 minutes of waiting before being seated for the ride. I really love this ride! It makes my heart skip a beat every time and I love that you can't tell how high you are or how far you are going to fall! (And unlike the WDW version, I didn't walk away feeling sick for an hour afterwards). Brian said that Carissa was trying to catch things flying out of her purse during the ride! Thankfully all was recovered. We took a moment to add the pics to our photopass card then headed outside.

The kids had looked at the list of upcoming drawing characters and something caught their eye... Oswald the Rabbit. He was being drawn at 5:30 and they really wanted to go. I told them we'd try to make it back in time for him, but we weren't going to wait around another hour and a half waiting. Besides, we still hadn't been toCars
Land and were dying to
go!

Aladdin was just getting out so I had the kids make a quick decision:
Animation or Bugs
Land . Drawing or kiddie rides... which do you think
won? Drawing, of course! By the time we got there it was about 3:15pm
and the next animation academy drawing class was scheduled for 3:30. They were drawing the Cheshire Cat. I gave the kids the option of staying around
or moving on, but in the end they decided to stick around. I did a little scream of joy inside when they
chose that, as I love the Cheshire Cat and was so glad to get to draw him! He was a tough one to draw, but we all came
out with pretty decent drawings of him.
