Disneyland: Day Three, Part One

The parks opened late today, at 10 am, so we were there for the opening. We raced over to Space Mountain, only to find it closed. We Fastpassed Star Tours and decided to ride Nemo. After Nemo, it was onto Autopia and then Fastpassing Space Mountain. We headed over to Orleans Square to ride Pirates of the Caribbean and the Jungle Cruise. We also reenacted the grumpy Engleman family photo.  That area is now a pirate dress up spot, how things change!  We had some lunch and then took the train around the park to Tomorrowland. We rode Star Tours, which Finley hated, and Space Mountain again. Then it was back over to Critter Country to ride Splash Mountain for Finley's very first time. She loved it! She wanted to go again, too bad there was an hour wait (we had Fastpasses, luckily.) After visiting with Pinocchio, we headed back to the hotel to rest up for fireworks and Fantasmic this evening.
