Swimming at the Disneyland Hotel Pool

First Day at the Park

 On our first day we got up early so we could use our magic morning ticket and get into the park early at 8:00 a.m. 

 No lines first thing in the morning.  We were one of the first families on the small world ride.

 After both parks opened we jumped over to California Adventures and did some rides.

 We decided to spend 8-12 at the park and then take a break for lunch and swimming.

 The girls really wanted to go to Joe's Crab Shack!

 I decided to take some pictures of our hotel room

 We were on the 9th floor and this was our view.  In the distance you can see The Matterhorn and Big Thunder Mountain.

 Check out the Mickey Hand lights in the bathroom.

Mickey handles on the sink

 Even the lamp shade had Mickey Mouse heads.

Sorry, we already had water spots on the Mickey Shower handle.

Time for some fun at the pool.  It was a bit chilly this week.  Temperatures ranged from 68-71.  It was cold to stand in line for the water slides.  The kids didn't mind but I only did the slides twice I was so cold.  The pools were heated nicely though.

Around 4 we went back to the park to enjoy some more time.  The girls stopped to see the fun Pixar Parade!

First night at the hotel

 Here is Summer playing while we wait for our hotel room.

 After checking in and having some swimming fun we went to downtown disney to find a bite to eat.

 The hat lights up at night and blows bubbles!

 The awesome pool is in the back ground.
