Today I took Kendra to Disneyland for her first visit we arrived around 8:30am and the park was busy I forgot that this weekend was the CHOC Walk in the Park was this Sunday (CHOC is Children's Hospital of Orange County) so Kendra and I stayed to the quieter areas of the park in the mornings. We explored the new opera house lobby and new gallery, strolled down Main Street USA watching the people and the horse drawn street cars till we made it to Sleeping Beauty's Castle and Fantasyland which was still very empty at park opening. After letting Kendra watch Dumbo and the carousel we walked down Big Thunder Trail to Big Thunder petting Ranch which was still closed but the Cast Members let us go in to Celebration BBQ and take some Fall photos around the stage before the restaurant opened. We then walked over the Pioneer Mercantile for some more fall pictures and then El Día de los Muertos display before going back to Big Thunder Ranch which is now open. Before the park really gets crowed we head over New Orleans Square and Haunted Mansion Holiday for out only ride of the day. On our way out threw Adventureland we see Princess Jasmine with now line so over for one last photo before heading home.
