Of course, the park didn't open until 10:00 so I spent a long time laying there, mostly thinking of all of the wonderful food I was about to eat... Finally, it was time to be up and going and we set out in search of breakfast. We had been hoping to eat at the Carnation Cafe but it was closed (and would be all week but we didn't know that) so we headed to the Riverbelle. I was just so happy sitting on the patio, overlooking the Rivers of America and eating BACON! It was a nice, relaxing way to begin my trip. Usually the first couple of hours I spend dashing from ride to ride before the crowds get bad...not this trip! Next was baby's first ride- Pirates! We had a great time yo ho-ing and I think that was my favorite ride this trip, nice and relaxing! Klucky's doctor had approved her for many more rides than mine (My doctor- "I think you might be able to go on small world. I don't know, doesn't it have a drop?") so we headed off to Splash Mountain and I made the first of what would become MANY potty trips this trip. I am pretty sure that I used every single bathroom in the park at least once, if not many, many more times! While the others rode, I enjoyed people watching and doing a little window shopping. Honestly, I can't remember what all we did for the rest of the morning. I know, after a bit, we left and stopped by the Grand Californian to get our naughty Chip and Dale pressed pennies. And, yes, we giggled like 12 year olds the entire time! We stopped at White Water snacks for lunch. I got a kids' cheeseburger but, as soon as it came, I decided I wasn't that hungry so I ate what I could but ended up throwing much of it away. At this point I started to worry that my appetite wouldn't be able to match up to the big plans I had for eating for the weekend! Luckily the appetite came back big time the next day! We entered DCA and did Monsters for my first time. It was SO cute! I really enjoyed it. Roz asked if Casey and I were twins! I believe after that we split off and us preggos went to the animation building and learned to draw Mickey while the others went on Tower. Anamation Academy was lots of fun and I think I'm going to frame my masterpieces for the nursery! I believe this was also the day that I started my quest to find infant mouse ears. See, they couldn't just be regular ears, I wanted to find someone who would put the baby's nickname- Tummy Monkey on the ears. I had already read online that nicknames were not allowed on mouse ears. I figured if I asked enough people, eventually I'd find someone fun with a sense of humor who would do it for me. I tried several places with no luck. I know we did a bunch more this day, the crowds were great and the weather was gorgeous, but I just can't remember what it was! Disneyland closed at 8 so we were able to head to bed early which was good since I was exhausted!
