Not as many pictures from day two... not so easy to take pictures of every little moment while trying to manage two kids in a crazy crowded amusement park. Thankfully they were both on their best behavior that day and we were all able to enjoy ourselves at a very leisurely pace. One of the best parts of being to Disneyland so many times is that you know the place like the back of your hand and you don't have to rush around trying to do it all. We focused mainly on seeing shows and finding characters to get autographs from. Then we did a little shopping and headed back to the hotel at a decent hour so we could get a good night's rest. It was one of the most peaceful days I have ever spent at Disneyland.
The only character he cried at. No clue what scared him...??? Probably didn't help that the Mad Hatter, in true Mad Hatter fashion, decided to mock him.
Star Wars Jedi training... by far the COOLEST thing I've done at Disneyland in a long time. I didn't realize how interactive it was going to be. At the beginning of the show the master Jedi randomly chose about 15-20 kids (out of probably 50... there were a lot of sad not chosen kids) to come up front and train to be a Jedi. Savannah was one of the chosen few. Lucky girl. The kids chosen were given robes and light sabers and were then taught a fight sequence by the master Jedi. What happened next blew me away... I had NO IDEA that this was going to happened. The stage rose up out of the ground and Darth Vader came out... then from behind the crowd out jumped Darth Maul. Insanity. The kids all ran over and hid by the master Jedi. Some ran crying to their parents. Darth Vader did his thing... tried to lure the kids to the dark side... then the kids were lined up and sent one by one to fight one of the two villains. I thought for sure that Savannah was going to chicken out... our brave little Jedi came did it though. She walked right up to Darth Maul and busted out the fight sequence just like she was taught. So dang cool! Needless to say, after the Jedi training was complete, we immediately went to the gift shop and purchased a light saber. Savannah is convinced that she is a real Jedi now.
The little Jedi trainees being congratulated on their victories.
Ryder's favorite part of the day... the parades. He loved watching all the characters go by. He got especially excited when he recognized one of them. Lots of pointing and lots of dancing.
