Day 1 in the park

We arrived at the gates at 8:30 and waited about 10 minutes to get our tickets and then waited 10 more for the gates to open.

Our first ride according to Ridemax was Star Wars. When the ride started and we finally rmembered what kind of ride it was steve and I got a little nervous about the boys. But they did great. Colby was a little uncertain if he liked it but grady thought it was cool. We then hit small world, which was a big hit with everyone. I really liked the updates they have done.
We then headed to toon town where we walked through minnie and mickeys houses and actually got to have some one on one time with mickey. Colby was all smiles but grady would only get in the picture if we all did. It was a really cool way to meet mickey and guarantee a shot with him.
Thanks to ridemax we were well ahead of the game with time so we explored donalds boat and took a spin on go go gadget coaster. The boys loved that ride and were all smiles when we got off.
We then hit roger rabbits toon car (which was a little too dark for the boys but fine) pinocchios daring journey. We were then scheduled to just get the fast pass for splash mt but when we got there it was a 5 minute wait so we just rode it. The boys absolutely loved this ride, even though the final drop is scary and wet.

We left the park at 11:45 to head back to the hotel for lunch and nap. In under 3 hours we went on 9 rides and never waited more than 10 minutes for a ride and we have not felt rushed. So far ridemax has been accurate and while we have veered off a couple times we have been able to sync back up with the plan with ease.

We had to stop at the gigantic build a bear store so they boys could buy mouse ears and outfits for their bears. I am currently listening to all 3 boys snoring softly as I type this. We had sandwiches in our room and will head back in an hour for more fun.

We are having a great time.
