Everly and the Magic Kingdom [part II]

a first trip to Disneyland is pretty magical

even if you are too young to remember it

that is why we photographed the experience pretty thoroughly

I do believe that starting young with Disneyland is key

to really loving the park as an adult [I think I was about two my first visit]

so here are Everly's firsts - Disneyland edition

first ride in Disneyland - Jungle Cruise

our cruise captain was very sweet with E, and since

we were the last tour of the evening, there were very few people on board

and she spared us all the gunshots that might have sent Everly over the edge

instead, we got an animated "bang, bang" from our enthusiastic cast member

first ride in Fantasyland - Peter Pan [E slept through the whole flight]

first ride in California Adventure - Toy Story Mania

Everly was hanging out in the Baby Bjorn on this ride

and I was hoping she was going to slow down the Mr. from getting such 

a high score, unfortunately, he still beat me by a few thousand

first meal in Disneyland - The Plaza Inn on Main Street

even though Everly wasn't joining in on the eating exactly

this was still her first meal in the park

and man, was it a good one

half a fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a biscuit for $13

considering we were in the park, I would say not too shabby of a meal for the price

first parade - Mickey's Soundsational Parade

E really like the parade as we walked by

talk about amazing stimulation for a little one, she was in awe of it all

and as you can see, I was really into her reactions

first character - Donald Duck [Everly's great-grandma's favorite character]

first princess Everly met - Snow White

and as it turned out, Snow White was the only character that Everly smiled for

so, we are going to say that Snow White is Everly's favorite Disney character

at least for now

the day we spent in the park was mostly for pictures and a few rides

the little lady has ridden so far:

Jungle Cruise, It's a Small World [holiday], Dumbo, Peter Pan, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Toy Story Mania and visited Mickey and Minnie's houses

for a first trip, I would say it was a success
