Summer Vacation Travel Log Day 6 (The Happiest Place on Earth)

What an adventure this day ways.  It was great to spend it with my sister Pamela, her husband Jay, and four of their children; along with my brother Norman, his wife Melinda, and their four children.  That made for a total of 18 people; six in each family.  Try telling the ride operators how many were in the party without them giving you a sideways glance.

First Stop:  Disney California Adventure Park

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

All eighteen of us in one picture

 We decided to get the scary ride out of the way so that we could enjoy the rest.
After the ride was finished, Evan was scared of the dark and rides.
He kept saying that he didn't like elevators with chairs in them.
Now that we are home...it's as if this was his favorite ride.

Soarin' over California

Luckily by the time we got to the rides here Evan had calmed down a bit.
We were able to do all of the rides in this area.  Just don't have pictures from Francis' Ladybug Boogie

Even the moon is magical

What a magical day...not only did we get to have tons
of fun riding all of the rides, but we got to make memories
