They are so funny! We entered his store and purchased hats. Alyssa got a pink princess cowboy hat, and later we found Carson a pirate cowboy hat. We walked on everyride - Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Splash, Pooh (twice), and Autopia. My parents left us to get in line for Billy Hill, and we took the kids on the Matterhorn. We were about to get in a bobsled, when Carson backed away too nervous to try. I was looking for an escape route and a really nice cm told us to wait on the other side of a chain, and I could ride when Dad and Alyssa returned. As we stood there, Carson watched small children ride. He watched them come back laughing. He decided to give it a shot. I was proud of him. He decided on his own that he could do it. We boarded the next Bobsled, and he loved it! We joined my parent who some how got a seat on the side of the stage for the Billy Hill show. It was really cool to sit on the stage. The Billy's flirted with Alyssa the entire show. The liked her pink cowboy hat. She felt pretty special. After the show, we shopped, and had lunch at the Carnation restaurant on Main Street. The food was really yummy! Next we headed back to change shoes, and for a little rest. We rerturned to DCA and covered Paradise Pier very quickly. Alyssa and Carson were tall enough for the Orange Stinger. They loved it. They also loved Mulholland Madness. I can't even count how many times we rode this. There wasn't a line. We had reservations for Goofy's Kitchen so I had to drag them away. We ran into Dale on our way out of the park. He was just standing there with no one around. We almost didn't see him. I love Goofy's Kitchen. Some of my best memories with my children are from this meal. It really wasn't special this time. There was a large party next to us. At least 20 people. Parents at one table and kids at another. The kids were not being watched and the kids were running everywhere. Anyway, I didn't completely enjoy this trip to Goofy's Kitchen and couldn't wait to get out of there. I also spent a ton of money for Carson to eat a roll. It will be a few years before I try this place again. We met up with my parents and took the Monorail back into Disneyland. We visited the Autopia store, Thunder Mountain, rode the Pirate Ship, Haunted, and Splash. This is where I met a CM that was rather rude. I addressed this issue in another topic. After my Splash Photo incident, the park was closing. We weren't sure if we could catch the train for its final sweep. We waited and waited. We were about to leave when a really nice guy who knew a lot about Disneyland told us to wait. He also told me that the code we were hearing being tapped was Walt's opening Day speech. I love this kind of information. The train came (just like the nice man said), and we rode it all the way around the park. Carson feel asleep so we carried him back to the hotel again. We had another amazing day!
