disneyland day 2

for our second day in anaheim, we visited disneyland. after stopping for a kodak moment, we headed over to tomorrowland to ride a few rides and grab fast-passes for space mountain. we made stops at the rockets, star tours, and buzz lightyear, while we waited for it to be our turn for space mountain, which did not disappoint!

the whole vacationing family!

my brother and nephew - aren't they cute?!?!

my best friend and i split off from the rest of the group for a little while so that we could ride all of the rides that she wanted to on her last day in the park - we hit up all the great rides - fortunately, the park wasn't too busy and we didn't have to wait very long at most of the rides!

one of the highlights was riding the jungle cruise. we sat right near the front of the boat (all 12 of us!) and heckled the poor boat captain as he was making his silly puns. he had a pretty good sense of humor about it, and i think the kids are still not certain whether the animals on the jungle cruise were real or not.

 i had to take a "disneyland break" to take my best friend to the airport, and barely made it back before the park closed. the tram operator made sure i knew the park was closing soon, before driving away from the parking lot and towards disneyland. i got back to the park just in time to ride space mountain again - perfect timing!
