We had the pleasure of having our Nephew Boot Strap (5 years old) spend Saturday night with us this last week end. So we had a discussion as to what we might want to do while he is here. We were considering Disneyland of course, then there was feeding the ducks and fish over at Knotts Berry Farm or just staying home and letting him torment the girls.
Boot Straps Annual Pass to Disneyland had expired so we though about renewing and then remembered that it was the last of the spring breaks and that it would probably be pretty crowed so we decided on the feeding the ducks.
Okay, so you are wondering so why Im I reading a report about feeding the ducks at Knotts Berry Farm on a Disney Trip report board.
Well, heres why,
Boot strap gets dropped off and our evening is full of scavenger hunts for things the make believe robot has hidden in the house and coloring in the new Dinosaur coloring book his cousin Swimlover got him and watching assorted cartoons and finishing off a kids meal from Quiznos, things are going good.
So it is time for bed and he informs Sorceress that he is too excited to sleep, she asks why and he tells her because he is looking forward to going to Disneyland tomorrow (insert Disney Commercial) she informs him that we may not go to Disneyland because his pass had expired and it might be too crowded, so we thought we might go feed the ducks, but we would see in the morning.
So fast forward to Sunday morning, now I am always up around 5ish everyday, dont know why it has been that way for decades now. So when I hear Sorceress asking me if I am awake and I realize that it is light out it must be later then 5ish. I ask her what time it is and whats wrong. She tells me it is after 7 and there might be a problem with our plans for the day. This gets me to sit up in bed thinking whats wrong with Boot Strap and wow it felt good to sleep in. She proceeds to tell me that she got up at 6:30 and went out to find that Boot Strap was already dressed sitting on the couch, when she asked him why he was up and dressed he told her he was ready to go to Disneyland.
This is when she informs me that she didnt have the heart to tell him we werent going to Disneyland so I needed to get up and get ready so we could try and beat the crowds to get his pass renewed.
So now you know and here we go.
We left the house and I was going to stop and get us breakfast at this really great place I go for breakfast, but when we got there they werent open yet
So we decided on Del Taco instead
So with our breakfast received and being eaten
Yes, he wanted a Taco for breakfast; he is defiantly his Aunts Nephew
So we arrive in the Downtown Disney parking lot around 8:30 to very light crowds
We head up towards Rain Forest Café and ESPN Zone to walk to the front gates.
It is a very pleasant walk through DTD with a stop at the fountain by House of Blues for a picture.
When we got the security check point we were surprised to see that the long lines we had feared where not there.
We were the next person in line at the ticket booth to renew Boot Straps pass
Then it was Boot Straps turn
We were then directed to the Guest Relations window on the outside of DCAs main gate, we always renew our passs by mail so this was new to us. When we got there Boot Straps pass was already printed and we were ready to hit the park.
The esplanade was not very crowded at all, we were hoping this theme carried over to the park itself
When we got to the turnstile we were able to walk right up and hand over our passes and then we were in and took the traditional pictures
Floral Mickey picture
The Firehouse picture
More to come as we head into the park
