It was Little Squirrel's first trip to Disneyland, Mama's first trip since 1991 or so, and Papa's first trip since before Captain EO opened (that was as close of a date he could arrive at). Needless to say we were all very excited. We ran ourselves ragged all over the Magic Kingdom and California Adventure for 2 ½ days.
We had breakfast with Minnie Mouse and her friends got to meet Mickey Mouse and tour his house, and got shrunken to the size of pixies to meet Tinker Bell and Iridessa. Little Squirrel's favorite rides were Dumbo and the Tea Cups in the Magic Kingdom and Soarin' in California Adventure.
By Wednesday, we were exhausted and enjoyed the quiet train ride to San Diego. We rode on the second floor of the train and had a great view of the ocean. Thursday brought the Zoo with pandas, okapie, and the start of flamingo mania. Little Squirrel was delighted to see flamingos for three days straight in San Diego. She also greatly enjoyed pointing out palm trees.
On Friday, we spent the day at Sea World and then took a dinner cruise around San Diego harbor. Little Squirrel really enjoyed all the animal exhibits and shows at Sea World, especially the dolphin show, penguin encounter, petting the rays, and feeding the flamingos. She really enjoyed the cruise and wanted to spend most of it on the top deck. She found a good resting spot on Papa and dozed off after dinner.
Saturday was our last full day and we spent it hiking around the Wild Animal Park. Little Squirrel was delighted to see lots of baby animals including a baby cheetah. It was adorable but we decided that it may play too rough with our kitties so it was best to leave it there. Of course there were also flamingos and lots of other animals (babies or otherwise) to learn about and see. Little Squirrel had an amazing time and it was definitely a memorable birthday present.
