My Birthday Celebration

You people need to stop calling me to say 'Happy Birthday', so that I can enjoy my day at Disneyland!

Yes!  Disneyland!  Mommy and Daddy took me to Disneyland to celebrate my 1 year old birthday.  What other place to better celebrate such an important day than celebrating it at the Happiest Place on Earth?  (Although Daddy kept saying that it's not the Happiest Place on Earth to him, which I have no idea why.)  Officially, this is my first visit to Disneyland, even though I have already been to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.  Yeah, looking back at those OLD videos and photos , I noticed that I didn't have much hair back then!

So, let's cut through the chase because I am very excited to tell you all about what had happened today!

We first arrived at the Parking Structure at the Disneyland Resort.  From the video below, you can see that I took the opportunity and grabbed a quick nap on my way to the Disneyland.  I was barely awake when Daddy pulled me off the car.  For a moment, I almost knew where I was, but I soon got distracted by all those cars (more like empty spaces) around me.

So, how do you like matching outfit with Daddy's?

After a short walk and an escalator ride, I'm down by the tram stop waiting to board the tram to Disneyland. There were quite some kids there running around which made me think that if going to school means I will have time to hang out at Disneyland during the day, I don't mind starting school tomorrow!

Here's a video of my tram ride...







And if you remember, here's my tram ride to the Disney's Animal Kingdom back in February.

Don't you think I age perfectly?

Once we got off the tram, we walked pass Downtown Disney, passed the Security Check-point, onto the Main Entrance of Disneyland. Although there was another entrance to this place called Disney's California Adventure, but Daddy insisted on the Original Disneyland and told me that the other place is crap!

Here I am! The Happiest Place on Earth! We immediately took a few pictures by the Entrance where Mickey's face got implanted onto a slope of flowers. (More pictures available below.) After a few pictures, we underneath the Main Street Train Station, and there it was... Goofy!







I never knew Goofy was this tall! He looked small when I saw him in Mickey's Club House on YouTube. So after a few pictures and Goofy, we turned around and saw Minnie!







Is it me, or does Minnie seemed a bit taller? She's supposed to be 5 foot 2 inches, but from I saw on scene, she seems to be taller than five-two. I guess Minnie does grow taller like I do.

After we were done with Minnie, Daddy took us to the City Hall at Disneyland to pick up a Birthday Button. I bet most of you don't know that you get to receive a Birthday Button if you visit Disneyland on your birthday. Well, now you know!







By now, I'm tired and hungry! So we sat down at this bakery on Main Street and we (I) had something to eat. As usual, even though it was time for lunch, I didn't feel like eating. There were just too many kids walking around and I just wished that I could run around like they do, instead of sitting in this high chair swallowing liquid food. By the way, those ice-creams behind the counter looks very good!

After my lunch, we headed towards the Castle where we met Mary Poppins. Although I have to admit that I was hoping to see one of those cute looking Disney Princess instead.)







Moving beyond the Castle is the huge round thing with loads of horses on it. I was told that it's a Carousel. Who knows what that is; I just knew that I want to try it. But instead, Daddy took me to this ride with tons of flying elephants. And those flying elephants even have a rather dumb name called... 'Dumble.'







You would think that since Daddy is a grown-up, he would have tried all the rides at Disneyland. But no, he told me that he has never tried this terrifying-ly 'Dumble' ride. I have to bring him with me next time!

After the Dumble ride, I'm back at this Carousel thing. This time, instead of Mommy taking me onto this ride, it was Daddy's turn. This Carousel ride was pretty fun! The horse that I was riding moves up and down, up and down, and it only knows how to turn left!







By now, it's almost time for me to take my afternoon nap. We found an outdoor place at this restaurant and I just fell asleep right there inside my Stroller almost immediately!

When I woke up about an hour later, it was already getting dark! I guess I must have over-slept. I should have skipped my nap and go for a few more rides. Although I doubt that Mommy would let me skip my nap.

So I woke up from my nap at Fantasyland, and within a few footsteps, I arrived at Toontown! I was told that this is where Mickey lives, and if so, Mickey must be out of town because I didn't see him anywhere! Instead of seeing Mickey, Daddy showed me around to check out a few cool things around Toontown...



















We left Toontown after some pictures and we headed back to the Main Street for Dinner. Daddy ordered this gigantic Turkey leg for dinner along with some soup in a bread-bowl. And me, of course I'm left with the same option of baby formula for dinner.

By the time we finished dinner, it was getting close to my bed time. Which means that I had to leave this Happiest Place on Earth. It has been a fun and I hope that I will get to visit this place again, soon!







And here are some pictures that we took from today.
