Sammy, Westin, my sister Monica and I went for a morning trip to Disneyland. This was Westin's first visit and he did really really well. We started the morning at Space Mountain "Ghost Galaxy" the Halloween make over which was closing the next day. Westin sat patiently while Sammy and Monica had their turn then walked up the ramp and waited with Monica while Sammy and I road again. We then walked by Big Thunder Ranch but it was not open yet but Westin stopped for a few photos with some pumpkins scarecrows (I wish my girls would be so happy to poise for me as Westin was). On our way over to the Haunted Mansion Westin was really interested in the Big Thunder Railroad train zooming by so we stopped to let him watch but the attraction then when into a 101 (emergency ride stop) so while we snapped a few pictures one of the security CMs that I see almost every time I come and asked if Westin was my new puppy I said not I just turned in Catalina yesterday and Fern my new baby is still way to little to come yet. We talked a little bit more then went on our way to the Mansion. We did some other attractions in Disneyland and were on our way to DCA when I spotted Aladdin and Jasmine with only one group in line so we stopped for a photo. Over in DCA we stopped to meet Chip and Dale and Westin being the great boy he been all morning sat nicely looked at me and then walk away quietly without going what I call Charterer bonkers. Poor Dale he sooo wanted to play with Westin that while we were walking away he was reaching out in the air for Westin to come back and play but there was a line of little kids waiting to say hello to them so we kept walking. Ove at Toy Story Midway Mania (TTMM) we got an assistance fastpass to come back in 45 minutes. So we walked over to the pasta place in DCA had lunch and then returned for our ride on TTMM then over to Screaming for our last stop of the day before heading back to the car. It was a really nice morning and I hope to go to Disneyland again soon with Sammy and Westin.

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.

Denise, family and I went to Mickey's Trick or Treat Party at Disney's California Adventure. We tried to arrive early so we could go over to Disneyland but Los Angeles traffic cut that plan out so the kid got dressed and we waited for two hours for the party to start. Once we entered the party our group decided to go to Hollywood first and ride Monsters Inc. and Tower of Terror along with dancing at the backstage dance floor and treat stops. Mickey Mouse was also in Hollywood but his line was two hours long just to have a picture with him so we moved on. As we crosses Sunshine Plaza Denise snapped a picture of me on the party stage there and we then headed over to Soaring and then the treat trail in the Golden State before we headed over to Screaming and Toy Story Midway Mania. When we finished the treat stops around Paradise Pier it was 11pm and had some tired kids to walk back to the car. It was a good night!
