The Disneyland Trifecta: How To Start Your Day At D-Land

We started off our first day at Disneyland by going on 3 rides that epitomize Disneyland...

First, Maya's favorite ride {and mine}, Splash Mountain. Once you're singing "Zippety Doo Dah", you know you're at Disneyland. We must have ridden this 5 or so times in all. We LOVE Splash Mountain!

Next up? The Haunted Mansion! This was closed last time we were here, so this was our first go 'round on it. I have to admit, I liked it, but I thought it was a little scary for the kids. We only went on it once.

And finally, Pirates of the Caribbean. Such a classic. A little "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me", a few flume drops in the dark - some pillaging and plundering. What's not to like?

It was a fun way to start our day in true Disneyland style.
