To celebrate Father's Day, Penny and I took Daddy to none-other-than Disneyland! Daddy's favorite place in the world! Mommy bought Daddy and Penny matching "Animal" T-Shirts to wear but Miss Penny did not want to wear her shirt. As hubby says "She has a love/hate relationship with Animal (from the Muppets)." We left the house at 9am and arrived fairly quickly. We were surprised to pull right into the parking booth. I thought Disneyland would be crowded but it was actually not which lead to us getting a lot done!
Our first stop was breakfast at The Grand Californian Hotel at The Story Teller's Cafe. We sat down to a breakfast buffet full of yummy carbs and endless drink refills. I don't think I ever got more than half way with my juice before the waitress would come over and refill my glass. I had made reservations a week in advance. Courtesy of Faith's School of Disney, I now do everything in advance if it has anything to do with Disney. We arrive a bit early and they were actually able to get us seated a bit early. We loaded up of plates at the buffet and sat down to grub. Luckily Penny is still free which is why we are trying all of Disney's restaurants this year in our "Year of Disney" aka of year of having an annual pass where we don't have to pay for Penny. Our goal is to find all the good places to eat so when we renew our park passes we know where to spend our hard earn dollars and have it count! During our breakfast a few Disney characters visited Penny. She saw Chip & Dale, Brother Bear and another Bear (must be the hotel's bear theme). While Penny and Daddy were dancing around the restaurant in a dance line, I remained at our table and I got to meet "Meeko" from "Pocahontas."
After breakfast we hung around at DCA a bit. We went to the Wilderness Center which always good fun. Penny loves climbing around there and they usually have characters to meet from the movie "Up." After attending a Senior Scout Meeting we left the Wilderness Center and got on Ariel's Under The Sea Ride which we haven't been on before because it is always closed. After playing a super long time in the Bug's Life Water Area we headed over to Disneyland to spend our remaining part of the day. Penny told Daddy she wanted to go on the baby rollarcoaster in ToonTown but after making it up the first hill she decided she didn't like it. See the picture below. She never cried but she told Dad when it ended "I no like."
Overall, it was another fun day at Disneyland. We are now 18/16/13 in our count.
