Triston & Mom playing in Disneyland

Chris, Triston and I took a family vacation to Anaheim California in August for another visit to the Magical Kingdom. Chris was able to get tickets for the Blizzcon gaming conference (Creator of World of War craft). So I decided that it wasn't fair for him to go on vacation by himself, so I decided to take Triston back to the Magic Kingdom to see Mickey. We decided to fly this time instead of drive, I don't know what is worse, because traveling with a little kid is some what challenging. You have so much crap that you have to bring.

Anyways we arrived on Thursday and settled in. Chris had to get his ticket for the conference so Triston and I decided to go with him. What a mistake. It was the longest line ever. We stood there for over 2 hours, just for Chris to get his ticket. On Friday Chris went to his conference and Triston and I went to Disneyland.


Me and Triston with Mickey


I decided this year to take Triston to a Character breakfast. We went to Breakfast in the park with Minnie and Friends. He had so much fun with all the characters. We saw Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too! We saw Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, Chip and Dale, Captain Hook, Goofy's son Max and of course Minnie Mouse. Triston had fun dancing with them and touching there noses. He was really cute with them. Definitely worth it!



After breakfast it was time to ride some rides. Triston wasn't to excited to ride the rides, but once we got into the car at Autopia he got excited right away! He couldn't even see over the dash board, but that didn't stop him. He had so much fun driving a car. He had the biggest smile on his face. We went on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster and of course he love to shoot a gun, he didn't do so bad. Of course we had to get the Astro Blaster gun after the ride, and now it is one of his favorite toy.




We went on Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, he loved the bubbles
and looking for Nemo and his friends.


We went over to Critter Country, well Triston decided to take a nap and so I decided to ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, thinking that he would wake up when we got on, but he didn't he slept through the whole thing.




Triston missing the action!

Triston slept for a while so I decided to people watch until he woke up. After he woke up I decided to go the the Pirates lair on the island. Triston had a blast going through caves and running across the bridges. I had to hold him us so he could look out of the telescope. He had so much fun!



We went over to Toon Town and drove the cars, went to Goofy's house, Donald boat, Chip and Dales Tree house and Mickey's house. We didn't go on any rides, because it was close to closing time, but we were able to
see Mickey again.



I wanted to see some of the show in California Adventures, because we were unable to go to any last year. I took Triston to Play House Disney show. He was a little grumpy, but after it started he got into the show. He loved seeing Mickey and his friends, Handy Manny and his tools and Winnie the Pooh and friends. He was jumping up and down when Handy Manny fixed the bubble machine and bubbles fell down from the ceiling.


Triston Loves Lighting McQueen and Mater, so we decided to go and see them. Triston decided that they needed to be washed. Silly boy!
In California Adventures in a Bugs Life there is several water splash area's that kids can play in. Triston loves to play in water, he had a blast.


We waited in the longest line ever at Toy Story Mania, but it was the funnest. It was 3-D arcades, but they didn't fit on Triston's head, but he still did pretty good shooting at all that targets. I only wish that it was a longer ride.


Triston and I had a blast. I would definitly want to go back just the two of us!
