Favorite Rides

For AJ and DJ the Buzz Lightyear ride won hands down. Although the train was a close second. The boys loved "the Buzz one". They loved seeing Buzz Lightyear and they especially loved shooting things with the guns during the ride. Grandma and Grandpa had wanted to buy the Buzz Lightyear guns for the boys while we were at Disneyland and they had perfect timing. After we came out of the "Buzz one" they had the guns. We probably drove everyone crazy around us because they were shooting everything. They shot the birds, the food, the chairs the tables and of course each other. They used them so much in the next 24 hours that I think they wore them out. We decided that a toy shouldn't wear out in 24 hours so Dionys got brave and took them back and got new ones. The new ones are still working.

When you ask Alexandria what her favorite ride is, she'll say all of them but the mountains. She does not like mountains, shen doesn't like climbing mountains, she doesn't like seeing mountains and she doesn't want to go in any more mountains. I think the Matterhorn traumatized her. After that we tried to get her to go on the "log ride" (aka Splash Mountain) and "Space Journey" (aka Space Mountain) but she didn't like those rides either. Her very favorite rides though were Peter Pan and Star Tours. Somehow Grandma talked her into going on Star Tours and she loved it! She went again and again and again. . . . The funniest part is when Grandma was explaining to her that it wasn't a scary ride. She told her that the robot was learning how to fly and he was going to take them to Endor. Alexandria then asked, "Will he bring us back?" Valid question.

Isabel loved all the rides she went on. She smiled, threw her hands in the air and laughed.

As a family, I think we had the most fun on the Tea Cups and the Swinging Gondolas on the Sun Wheel in California Adventure. We could all fit in one car on both of those rides and I think that's why everyone liked them.
