Rides

Ava's favorite ride was definitely Dumbo. She enjoyed riding it with Papa and Nonna. She would not ride it with me or Rich. Her other favorite rides were the 2 carousels and the ladybug (mini tea cups) ride in Bug's Life land. Ava liked going on rides that were outside and not enclosed. She did not want to go on the Nemo submarines because she didn't want to go underwater. She also decided not to go on Astro Blaster which made me a little sad. Ava stuck to the same few rides and was happy which made us happy.

The one ride Ava HATED was the Snow White ride. This ride is actually scary for a little child and we were warned not to take her on it. I listened but Rich did not. He decided she would be fine even though I thought we should try it out first. Too bad I gave in because it terrified Ava and she cried during the whole thing. It was the 3rd ride we went on and I think it was part of the reason she wouldn't go on any enclosed rides. At least it didn't ruin her love for Snow White because it is still her favorite movie.

Ava was so excited to ride the horse trolley.

Ava was happy to go on It's a Small World...at first.

Once inside she was a little nervous and held tight to Nonna. She liked the ride but it was a little loud for her. Since then I do catch her singing the song every once in a while.We enjoyed looking for the different Disney characters throughout the ride. These were my favorite.

This is Ava pointing to one of her favorite rides. They Ladybugs in Bug's Life.

Ava also enjoyed riding the Disneyland train. She didn't like the dinosaurs in the tunnels too much though. She liked the train so much Papa and Nonna bought us a Disneyland toy train set to go around our Christmas tree.

My favorite ride is still Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. I also enjoyed the new Star Tours and Toy Story Mania. I was sad that Thunder Mountain was closed for repairs because that is another one of my favorites.

Rich's favorite rides were Star Tours, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Haunted Mansion. On the last Star Tours ride Rich was the rebel spy...it was AWESOME!

If you check out the high scores Rich is #4.
