Disneyland for Johnny

Disneyland 2006

Johnny's experience of Disneyland was different than Maggie's. He rode all the rides he possible could and was sad when he wasn't big enough to do more. He braved all the roller coasters, wild river runs, and Indiana Jones. His favorites included Soaring (flying over California), and the Grizzly Wild River Run from California Adventures, and Star Tours and Pirates of the Caribbean from Disneyland. He loved all the roller coasters and all the scary rides, but he didn't love the characters all dressed up-- he wanted absolutely nothing to do with them, while Maggie was just the opposite. His favorite part of the trip was that Disneyland was doing a Jedi Training Academy in the middle of Tomorrowland where they gave Jedi training with light sabers and it was a surprise when Darth Vader and Darth Maul showed up with their Storm Troopers! We got some great video and pictures, he was a very happy boy. He also loved getting to hang out with Tyra and Grandpa and Grandma Peterson and can't wait to visit their house for Christmas. His favorite store was the Lego store where he'd been saving all his money to buy Star Wars legos, so he was happy to accomplish that. We loved the fireworks, parades, and the Fantasmic show. All the money we spent was worth it when at the end of the day before he climbed into bed he said, "This was the greatest day ever!"
