Quotes of the day:My 4-year-old son says, "I love Mickey Mouse! I love Mickey Mouse! When I grow up I want to be Mickey Mouse!"
My 6-year-old daughter says, "Mommy I don't think that was really Mickey Mouse. I think it was someone dressed up in a costume. But I think it would have been mean if I said, 'You're not really Mickey Mouse.'"
High point of the day: Our first ride is It's A Small World, which was re-opened a month ago after a major refresh. The kids love it! They're smiling. They're happy. They're singing. I'm transported to my childhood. This was also my first Disneyland ride.
Low point of the day: It's A Small World is my kids favorite ride. We end up going on it four times. I fear the song will forever be running through my head.
