Disneyland - here we come!

We did it. We finally got our family annual passes to the "Happiest Place on Earth" last night. We had planned to go for the entire day on Wednesday, but Avery woke up with a fever of 103.0 at 4 am, so that didn't happen. She's had high fevers off and on ever since. Her normal routine when it comes to that is 4 days. She had no other symptoms and felt 100% when she had motrin in her. Being that they were so disappointed that we couldn't go when we had planned and being the mother of the year that I am (who takes their child to Disneyland with a masked fever?!), we said we'd go Friday night and buy our passes, watch Fantasmic, fireworks and go on Small World and head home. That we did. We drugged up Avery, went to Justin's swimming lessons, picked up McDonald's and ate in the car. We thought there wouldn't be any lines to buy our passes since it was 7:00 at night. Wrong. I couldn't believe it. So, we at least have that out of the way for the future. We only watched Fantasmic (forgot how scary that thing is for little kids), walked through the maze of people while the fireworks were happening over to Small World and went on the newly opened ride. There was no line what-so-ever since the fireworks had just finished when we walked up. Devin loved it! By the time we got off the ride the line was really long. We caught it at exactly the right time. We only stayed about 2 1/2 or 3 hours, but it was a nice preview of fun times to come. It's a very nice feeling knowing we can go back and don't have to make sure we hit every single thing we want to. If everyone is well, we plan on going for the day on Monday. Here's to MANY more Disneyland blog entries!
