D-land day 2.... California Adventures

Today was another dawn to dusk day in sunny southern California! We awoke this morning at 6:45am to get ready, fed and out the door by 7:45am. I HATE early mornings... let me say it again.... I DO NOT DO MORNINGS! It's pathetic really. :(
We drive to D-land, park, tram it into the theme park and get in for early admission Magic Morning.
While Neil, Felicia (cousin extraordinaire), and the girls head to fantasy land to ride rides, Mason and I head to first aid... yes just moments after entering the park... because what we thought was a slight sunburn on his face turned out to be a MAJOR allergic reaction to something. Hives all over his face, ears, neck, chest, tummy, behind his knees and in his arm pits and elbows... itching everywhere... and we have NO CLUE what's caused this. Fun huh? So Mason has a little chat with d-land nurse about itching, what does your tongue feel like? can you swallow? do you feel dizzy? the whole sha-bang. Everything checks out and we're off to the enchanted something or other store to buy childrens benedryl. We pay for our $10 bottle of meds, get him a dose and are off to join the rest of the family in the now PACKED fantasyland. My poor little man was so well behaved! Especially considering the crowds, noise and the fact that his body was being invaded by little bumps everywhere. He's a trooper!

So after a quick jaunt on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and It's a Small World we head over to California Adventures. FUN PLACE!! None of us had ever been so every ride was new for us all. Our favorites were Soarin' over California and Toy Story Mania. Both were loved by every member of our family! HIGHLY recommend if you go. :) Neil, Felicia and I LOVED the California Screaming roller coaster. Great for adults... not so much for younger kids. We had a yummy overpriced lunch, rode a few rides, saw a few shows and then headed back to D-land for Finding Nemo's submarine ride and Fantasmic. It got REALLY cold when the sun went down which was a bit stinky but had very little effect on the overall attitude of the gang. We watched the show, busted out of there and are now safely back at the Villa with popcorn and hot cocoa. Who could ask for anything more? .... well maybe a bit more sleep right?
Stay tuned for more vacation adventures!
