Yesterday (June 16th, 2011), we took Braydon for his first ever trip to Disneyland. We met Aunt Kim and cousins Jake and Jesse there. He had the best time ever!! We arrived and walked through Downtown Disney to get to the park. He was on sensory overload, looking all over and going "oooo" and pointing at everything. We walked through Main Street Disney and he got super excited over the horse and carriage that passed us. We met Kim and the kids at the Winnie the Pooh ride, his first ride ever :) He LOVED it! He was clapping his hands at the end.
Then we went over to the character meet and greet where he got to meet Winnie the Pooh, Eyore and Tiger. He LOVES characters and we were calling him the Disney Character stalker because every time he saw one he would run over and try to hold their hand and hug them. He gave them big kisses and didn't want to leave them. It was hilarious. He chased Goofy around Toon town, to the point where we had to rip him away.
We went over to Pirate Island on a boat after meeting Winnie. He saw the big Steamboat pass by and couldn't believe his eyes! He tried to chase it down and was waving and saying 'Buh bye". He also loved the ducks on the island. Jesse and Jake walked with him through the caves, he was scared of them at first but them ran into them when he realized there was nothing to be scared of. His favorite were the water falls on the island, he would try and put his hand in them.
After the island, we went on the Jungle Cruise which he loved as well. Before we got on he pointed and said "Boat". He permanently had his finger pointed at the animals.
Then we went over to Toon Town but we went through the castle first. We stopped so Braydon could throw coins into the Wishing Well which he thought was the neatest thing. He got to throw coins in water which made music! Genius!
Toon Town was a perfect place for him. Lots of buttons to push, pianos to play, Characters everywhere, slides and cars to drive! It was heaven for him. We met Mickey and Braydon was starstruck! He loves the Mickey Mouse show, we watch it every morning, so he couldn't believe his eyes when he met him in person!. He says "Mou" for Mickey and kept yelling it out when we were in his house as if calling his name in search of him.
We saw the train that goes around the park and Braydon pointed and said "Choo choo!" so we decided to take a ride on it. He loved it! After we went back to Toon Town and went on the Roger Rabbit ride. Again, he clapped at the end.
At the end of the day we ate at Tortilla Joes in Downtown Disney. Braydon was cracking us all up. At one point he grabbed two tortillas and waved them in the air like pom poms and then shoved them in his mouth. He ate a ton of guacamole and was acting really silly. He loves when he has an audience, he always shows off.
Jesse and Jake were so cute with him. They held his hand the whole time and were so patient going on all the rides with him. They bought him his very first Mickey doll which he cuddled on the car ride home. I'm sure he had dreams of all the fun things he saw for the very first time. I can't wait to go back again with him!
